- We all loved the character of Pai Mei in "Kill Bill" for his trash-talk and stunning kung-fu skills. But did you know that Pai Mei has a deep history in film (Shaw Bros. movies), music (Wu-Tang Clan), and ancient Chinese history (Bak Mei - the Judas of Shaolin mythology)?
This video delves deep into the story behind this iconic character from Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill". From the wisecracks to the Five-Point-Palm-Exploding-Heart Technique, it's no wonder Pai Mei is such a beloved icon. The Reel Story of Kill Bill's Pai Mei.

Pai vs ip
Ironic, Bruce Lee spent his entire life ridiculing traditional martial arts as a waste of time, and a qoute, classical mess' of ineffectual moves. Then teaching better. He actually foresaw the popularity of MMA and kickboxing.
And after his death, movies like this and Kararte Kid ect that say the opposite. I pity the student that wastes his time and money on styles like this shown, only to be crippled or killed in an actual mugging or brawl.
Hey el ray, you guys nailed it on your video here. Really cool stuff
In typical Tarantino fashion, he actually wanted to cast Lo Lei , who always played him as Pai Mei but found out he had passed away. So he cast Gordon Liu ( who fought Lo several times) as Pai Mei.
Not true. Tarantino himself was gonna play pai mei then decided he was too busy so THEN he cast Liu
@@nexusSix_237 too busy filming feet!
Is typical Tarantino to borrow characters, scenarios, and aesthetics of South Asia Cinema and playing it cool until someone notices it.
@@R-Mc-3 NOT FALSE LULW
@Jason Skinner I can't agree more, I really love the the 40s-50s cinema aesthetics, it was the transition of characters from Theater to cinema, and somehow, in that period they were caught between this two forms. It looks like is just marketing, studios want just money regardless of things being original or not.
thumbs up if you think there should be a standalone movie of Pai Mei.
I think so to. Who would play pai mei.
@@steiventhatmexicanguy570 Tony Jaa
@@ryanjones6902 Tony Jaa would be a good Pai Mei.
Yes. He selects, trains and leads a gang of woman warriors.
Maybe they even use the acupuncture needles as in that one clip in this video.
Could Liu act the role from a wheelchair? It could be loaded with weapons!
Definitely. He should be the main character and the hero should lose in the film. Then they can make two more and he finally gets defeated in the third one by the vengeful brother of the first movies hero.
Pai Mei didn’t die of poison, he “played Opossum”, as actual Opossums can “sleep” and regulate their body temperature to combat bacteria, poisons, and parasites.
He’s alive.
Botulinum toxin would kill any person.
@Silvio Manuel Botulinum toxin comes from bacteria not a snake.
@Silvio Manuel "Opossums are not persons." Thank you, Captain Obvious.
@Silvio Manuel Are you being an asshole?
If he can brake newton's laws by hidding his balls! no fish heads can kill him

Should be made a Tekken character.
Wang wasn't visible to you?
Legendary Goken I don't necessarily think Wang is based on Paid Mei... Would like to see a super elaborate, rightfully cocky character in a long white robe, super large eyebrows going "AHAHAHAH" and caressing his beard after each win!
Eratosthenes I don't think you're gonna get any closer to a white bearded man with forgotten shoalin martial art (Xingyi Liuhe Quan) in Tekken. Plus Wang was OP AF.
Eratosthenes definitely!
Eratosthenes I'm sure the character "Gen" from street fighter was inspired by pai mei.
Gordon Lu is an amazing actor. In Kill Bill he played Pei Mei as well as the leader of the Crazy 88! Sadly this epic actor had a severe stroke in about 2013 losing all feeling on one side of his body and can no longer act.
Oh man that sucks :(
A doctor once told me, due to my high blood pressure, that I could "suffer a heart attack and die... or worse, I could suffer a stroke and not die." That left me thinking for a long time that there are fates worse than death.
Or someone using the tiger 🐅 fist 🤛 thing on him
Gordon was in so many movies. He's awesome
Aww. That's sad. ✌️Gordon Lu.
Pai Mei isn't actually 1000 years old, he just trains a successor to take his place and his name. So it appears as if he is alive all this time, but it's just people carrying on his legacy.
That's a very interesting theory and makes a lot more sense. I like that idea: Pai Mei is a title - not an individual, a mantle which is passed down.
But in Daoism, which is intertwined with kung fu, one is thought to be able to align with the Dao and this means all kinds of things but one important one is amazing longevity (even several centuries in some legends) and in principle, immortality. So that should not be thought of as too fanciful in this context.
Like the Phantom
Actually Pai Mei is inmortal.... he can manipulated gravity at his will... in every movie they try to kill him by punch his balls withouth any succes.... He is like a Super porn star
How dare you slander his legacy and doubt him. I would like to see you try say that to his face

Ha!
Don't make me laugh cat, There is a saying that might Serv you well here, fear the old in a job where the careless die Young.
It basically means you don't get to be old in a field where the death count is so high and an older person is to be respected, I bet Pai Mei would have your tongue for such talk as this.
Tarantino literally put his favorite movie character into one of his films, this is amazing
Oh mY God, he is the Darth Vader of the martial arts world!!!
Where is his son though? And his twin sister.
And Lloyd Irvin and Ryan Gracie - of BJJ.
Don't disrespect Pai Mei. Darth Vader is a child murdering dead beat dad. Pai Mei is a warrior.
More Supreme Leader Snoke, if he wasn't taken out like a punk in the Last Jedi/
Don't you disrespect Darth Vader! He has discipline and will beyond anyone, Pai Mei may be a warrior just as Vader is, but he isn't exactly a saint either.
From what I was told, Pai Mei was able to live so long because he mastered his Chi to the point that it constantly regenerated him.
Já eu não domino nem o meu xixi😂😂😂
Yes, the practice of age extension through Pre-Heaven Micro-Circulation Qigong. He was a master of the Golden Bell Qigong as well, that made all parts of his body invulnerable to external damage, except for the crown of his head. The Golden Bell Chigong can still be practiced today to a high level. The Pre-Heaven Micro-Circulation Qigong is lost, probably destroyed during Communist Occupation.
Paimei was not a eunuch, he simply trained his ball to be harder than steel. it's call 帝王神功.
right.. im surprised he said Pai Mei is eunuch...
Right - to say he was a eunuch just shows El Rey does not understand the secrets of real Shaolin qi energy training! I have 20 years research for free - giving the secrets of the training. On my channel. You must know the secrets already. Thanks.
It means men's reproductive organ go inside the belly, just like the horse.

Exactly Neal Golden. In Chinese martial arts movies eunuchs are never super villains. They are usually conniving ass kissing sometimes comedic villains.
Pai Mei has drunk the elixir of immortality and will live forever...In film and TV. 😉
Chinese History is interesting as it is often fact mixed with liberal doses of fiction. The version of Bak Mei's story that I know is:
1) Not a Eunuch, but had the skill to withdraw the testicles & possibly the rest up into the body.
2) Supposedly not Shaolin, but a Taoist monk from Wudang mountain who was visiting to test his Gung fu.
3) Was kicked out of Shaolin temple because his style was very vicious- Bak Mei is known to typically rip off ears, grab the nose, fast finger strikes to sensitive areas like nerve bundles, grabbing & twisting flesh, etc.... This style is real and survives to this day in at least 2 direct lineages, it is known for extreme speed and agile, evasive defense as well. It is considered an 'internal' style. Fighting one of these guys if you don't have a lot of skill and experience will likely result in a trip to the hospital and possibly permanent injury.
4) The Qing dynasty supposedly gave Bak Mei a choice: either 1) Help us sack Shaolin & kill everyone or 2) we kill all of your students.
I took a few lessons and found the style exotic and difficult, as if I was dating an attractive woman who did not speak any of my languages.... Your mileage may vary, I'm not sure if there is any definitive historical scholarship on this man. Also the picture shown here is not Bak Mei.
I never mastered the standing on the opponent's sword in mid-air technique.
@@harrymills2770 Tut..tut...tut...
Very disappointed in you..
That was a good comment & im interested in ancient cultures. Thank you.
What is the name of this "internal" style?
@ricardogalvan1031
The name of this art is… Bullshido. Google it to learn more!
NOT A EUNUCH! Getting kicked in the balls and not displaying pain is a traditional demonstration of Kung Fu prowess.
As much as I watch Kung Fu movies, I'm surprised I never noticed who played Pai Mei in kill bill.
Maniak15 He appeared in both Kill Bill 1 and 2. Did u know?
It is a surprise because when I showed the pei mei scene to 2 different Chinese girls I knew, (both with no prior kung fu or kill bill knowledge) they both immediately knew who the actor was.
Only because he is famous in Hong Kong cinema.
he also plays crazy88 in this series by the way. In real life, he is also a kung-fu master
ahaha. if u watch this video carefully, the actor who acted as Pai Mei in Kill Bill actually fought against old ver Pai Mei. he is in 3:00 holding needle.
Techniques like that are said to exist in Kung Fu, as the "10 day death punch", "30 day death punch" etc. They were called like that because those attacks were directed to damage certain organs, like ripping the spleen. Those injuries were within the body and not treatable by the medicine in these days. The dying took different time, depending on which organ was damaged, or ruptured. So it is not a mere trope, but was taking back on facts from times with no modern medical equpiment to diagnose and treat interior bleedings/damaged organs.
Not to mention the Exploding Skin Technique
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touch_of_Death
mentions „Kill Bill“
Pai Mei's not dead.Poisoned fishheads?Big deal,all they did was give him some indigestion,Pai Mei's too mean a bastard to die.
When that one guy pummeled his nuts and he smiled at him you know he's a baaaaaaaad MAN!!!!!
Pai Mei : you fool , that is exactly what I wanted you to do. Fell for the oldest trick in the book.
Pai Mei : 👿
Also Pai Mei : 🤤
He was not a eunuch. Because of his high level of skill in Chi-Gong he was able to pull his testicles back up into his body. This is a rare but real Kung-Fu skill. He was probably a fictional character though.
RESPECT to Quentin Tarantino for even acknowledging the character!!! 💪💪💪
bring back kunfu theatre on Saturdays .. remember the old days late 80's for me
Kung Fu theater is three times a week at my house. just watch them on your computer
I'm a huge fan of Pai Mei, I remember when I was a kid and they did that sliding split to kill him, I've tried to do that same move and almost knocked my TV over. Lol my mother was going to kill me. LOL
Shujinko from Mortal Kombat must be Designed after Pai Mei 😂
More like Shang Tsung
It would be amazing a Pai Mei's movie, and amazing to see that massacre of the Shaolin Temple, Tarantino should have made a whole movie of Pai Mei, because the Pai Mei of Kill Bill have a lot of years.
*Maybe it's a Dread Pirate Roberts kinda deal?*
the fuck does this even mean ? silk road ?
freddykisback123 It's actually a very good analogy..Dread Pirate Roberts was not one person, but a title passed from one successor to the next. They all perpetuated the same legend. Originally, it's from the movie, "The Never- ending Story". ( If you want to read a good book that explains the silk road connection read "American Kingpin". Sad af...)
ah.. so its a mask of zorro kinda thing, thank you :)
ps3shakes123 Dread Pirate Robertson is from the movie Princess Bride, not The Never Ending Story
Ty- Your right it was Princess Bride . *Roberts
Gordon Liu became the Pai Mei he fought against in the old films. What a perfect transition of acting.
Please give Gordon Liu some love as he has been through a great deal in these past years.
I'll never forget seeing Executioners from Shaolin one thursday after discovering the channel... had no idea the character came from those old kung-fu films!
Hattori Hanzo was another pre-existing character Quentin Tarantino borrowed, this time from an old Japanese TV show called Shadow Warriors. In that case he was able to get the original actor to play him. Hattori Hanzo was also a real historical figure, but in the TV show he's a descendant of the real person, as is the Kill Bill character.
maninredhelm wow never knew that, that is great information.. im going to look that up.
Lost track of how many marital arts movies ive seen in 70s early 80s with these silver fox characters .
Saturday Kung Fu theater in so Cali on channel 5 after that Elvira Mistress of the Dark
Pai Mei would have known the fish heads were poisonous
He did and he knew she would gloat to Beatrix about killing the Master. Just fueled B further
I don't get it? Pai mei is just the Mandarin version of Bak Mei. They both mean white eyebrow. 白眉
6343 Gharaidh Thomson - your right. it those non chinese fools think differently.😎
Kung fu theater at 3 in the morning!! I loved all those movies.
"Like all Yankee women, all you can do is order in restaurants and spend a man's money." No truer words have ever been spoken.
#RedPillTruths
Because Pai Mei knows all American women. I am sure Beatrice would have put him in his place if she wasn't afraid of him.
Lo lieh was the greatest version of Pai Mai hands down. He was an amazing actor, in multiple films. Pai Mai and Sam the Seed, were great legends of kung fu, portrayed by 2 of my fav actors.
I love how this video was edited.
Because you’re an idiot.
Funny how Gordon Liu went against Pai Mei at 1:13 and then became Pai Mei in Kill Bill. Lmao.
Those who defeat Pai Mei in both body and soul are destined to become him.
@@ninjabreadman8166 lmao
Fantastic. I love Gordon Lui, love all the work he did in Kill Bill. His scenes with Sonny Chiba were hilarious and I know he had a history of working in Pei Mei films. Never saw anything posted about him before. Subscribed!
Shaw Bros. was the bottom line in martial arts flicks, period. Nothing better.
I had grown up watching "Martial Art Theater" with my father. When I saw Kill Bill for the first time, I was super excited to see her master was going to be Pai Mei. Quinton did his homework.
I'd love to see an actual Hollywood made movie of this character.
I bet he'd be great. Make it a little humorous and fun and you'd have a movie people would like.
Adam Ant it was the story line for kill bill 3,, his was supposed to train vivaca fox daughter with is back story explained
@@bruceaskew2107 wow so he isn't really dead. Pai Meis never die.
@@Dtzeo503 pai mei is a role
Hollywood kung fu movies are crap.
Just go watch all the Shaw Bros films. They're way better.
He wasn't a eunuch in the movie "The Cavalier". His privates became invincible during certain times of the day. This was done through a technique he perfected.
This character brings back good memories of Hongkong flicks
Pai Mei is the same as Bak Mei, which means white eyebrows. Bak Mei is Cantonese, Pai Mei is Mandarin.
Every old master in most action anime cartoons resembles this guy in some way 😂
Wow enjoyed the footage as well as the information RIP Lo Lie who was going to be in Kill Bill but passed away that year.
Phillip Santan Santana *DeepBowCredit 🙏 ..,
'Gordon Liu', doesn't need to remember moi. It's enough that (When v% the UK 😎 ), I recall him.
Phillip Santan Santana If you really Believe that Paid Mei can train the Main Character from kill Bill ,and train her so she can beats dudes up like that ,then you really need to get your head Checked,The Real Pai Mei would even touch a women,let alone teach her ,Dude that Bitch Looks like she couldn't lift 100 pounds ,When I see these Movies there a Insult to Kung Fu
Well he was training her to fight, not to move furniture.
Alex Sanchez he was previously defeated and thought dead by a female version of Kung Fu. It's very plausible he would find training women as the only worthy successor of his style.
@@alexsanchez3635 Not so ,did you know that Wing Chun was invented and developed for a woman(named Wing Chun) to defeat a much larger male opponent. Look at Yip Man if you can find any footage of him. You may change your mind.
I'll let you try my Wu-Tang style.......
An amazing character and I would LOVE to see a new movie based on Pai Mei (as long as they show the same respect to the character and the story is written well).
They can only make Pai Mei as a villain. The Chinese cinema has been influenced by too many Wong Fei Hung and Yip Man movies. Therefore it is a taboo to show the priest Bak Mei/Pai Mei as a hero or good guy in a new movie. Too many Chinese people see Hung Ga(Wong Fei Hung) and Wing Chun(Yip Man) as "good guy" arts and Bak Mei(the martial art) as a villain's art. (Also because of the legend that priest Pai Mei was a traitor to Shaolin)
I'm all in for a stand alone kung-fu flick but only if it is written and directed by Quentin Tarantino or Guillermo Del Toro......
...or Robert Rodriguez.
But NOT by Disney!!!
1:3 Pai Mei is a shaolin priest? no he is Wutang priest!!! 2 different things! shaolin comes from buddhism religion and Wutang comes from Taoism!!! both have their own methode of martial arts and almost they were rival during history of martial arts!!!!!
shaun nazari they werent rivals u goof. Theyre both good how can they be rivals or hate anyone u fuckin dumbass. Y dafuc r u so fuckin stupid. The first Master of Wutang was a student of shaolin that got kicked out from a misunderstanding then he created tai chi n built Wutang. His descendants hold grudges against shaolin for wat they did to him but he doesnt n told them not to either. Taoism have the same principles as budhism just added that they fight n destroy evil n with lesser rules. Punk
If you study the history of Shaolin, they speak of Bai Mei during the fall of the Ching dynasty, as a shaolin traitor, and most likely one of the 5 monks who survived the burning of Shaolin Temple (fukien province).
Shaun is right. 白煤 was a Taoist legend. Wether he actually existed or not is unclear. The legend comes from a time in China when novellas known as wuxia romanticized such mythical warriors. This particular story was a martial arts epic centered around the Hung XiGuan avenging the death of his xiaolin master at the hands of his rival from Wudan mountain. Hung being the creator and first master of Hung Ga southern boxing.
No one can say empirically what is absolutely true and what's not as it's widely believed to be nothing more than a martial arts myth.
Drunk By U
Taoism is different from Buddhism, and Taoism already existed in China before Buddhism was even introduced. The area of the Shaolin Monastery was actually originally a Taoist site, before it became Buddhist. It's a known fact that Shaolin Kungfu (Buddhism) took many aspects of Taichi (Taoism). In fact back in the day, to spread Buddhism in China, they had to use Taoist concepts and vocabulary so that people could understand it (this led to the fusion of philosophy to what is now called Chan/Zen Buddhism).
Thanks to the New Age Movement, these ancient philosophies have been confused with one another, and rendered into nothing but trendy ignorance.
All I know is that Wutang isn't anything to fuck with.
pai mei lucky he never encountered me, busta rhymes. abbot of the 5 boroughs. master of the flipmode technique, highly skilled in the art of WooooHhaaaaa!!!
😂😂😂
R.I.P Lo Lieh Loved the role he played in those movies.
If only Bruce Lee had lived..... he’d be the new Pai Mei or the master who defeats him. 😞

You are wondering how he survives right? The answer is quite simple. His style is passed on to the next male successor and then the successor takes the name Pai Mei. Pai Mei is not immortal it is just several different people throughout the centuries. The original Pai Mei has been dead for a long time. The male takes on the physical features of his master out of respect. Soon Beatrix is going to be the new Pai Mei.
you did an excellent job on this. thanks :)
If he is a eunuch why does he use "iron crotch" qi energy to suck in his opponents feet? Also when he is caught off-guard then he feels pain in the groin - which shows that it is only due to the qi energy. This is called the horse hiding inside - the qi energy sucks the balls back into the body after celibacy training. I have the training secrets for free on my channel.
It means men's reproductive organ go inside the belly, just like the horse.

He kinda returned as Shujinko in the new Mortal Kombat 1
Pai Mai is a "walk in" spirit that will live forever from body to body.
This. . . this was actually really enlightening. I had no idea that Pai Mei wasn't a Tarantino-original.
What?!?!?
BILL WASN’T EVEN A TARANTINO ORIGINAL!!! The actor and the character are from an old king fu western called “king fu”. Tarantino loved that and all old Kung fu movies, he decided to make a version of his own in a very similar style.
@@Alusnovalotus I've seen just about every episode of the original Kung Fu, and long before Kill Bill came out. The ONLY similarity between Bill and Kwai Chang Caine is that both characters were played by David Carradine, and both were Kung Fu masters. Bill is pure evil; Kwai Chang Caine was pure good.
@@mournblade1066 you’ve made an interesting point. As a paradox. Pai Mei is canonically evil as well. Makes sense that he’d teach Bill. I’m not sure what he saw in Beatrix that made him decide to teach her his ultimate technique, but there’s the continuity. And I think Tarantino got inspiration from many many other king fu films. Maybe that’s what made him ask the actor that always played Pai Mei’s antagonist in the old films to play the legendary Pai Mei!
Kill Bill is so packed full of homages and references that I always assumed Pai Mei was at very least an homage of some sort, but I never knew what to exactly. Kind of funny to know he is just straight up taken from other movies.
All his characters are plagiarized though, even the bride.
Pai Mei is one of my favorite characters.
Did you know Hattori Hanzo was a real Japanese samurai during the Sengoku era?
Every time he straightens his beard, he recharges his energy bar.
Pai Mei is like Muten Roshi or Yoda if they had fallen to the dark evil side of martial arts !
I watch all of his movies he is a legend
Casting Gordon liu as Pai mei was one of the coolest moments in cinema history.
"The Cruel Tutelage of Pai Mei"
has to be the single greatest line of Kill Bill.
Pai Mei organizes the Mortal Kombat tournaments.
A great character, certainly, and I'm thrilled to know the historical context and significance of Pei Mei. However, my favorite fictional martial arts master is Chiun, Master of the House of Sinanju, from "The Destroyer" novels. In the fictional world of books and movies, he would easily defeat Pei Mei.
Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long long time
In my youth, The Destroyer books initiated some fantastic visions of imagination. It's my opinion that the books lost some of the sarcasm I liked when Richard Safir stopped. Some of their creativity is still impressive today. Safir and Murphy's imaginative creation of Mr. Gordon's is the most memorable reading of the books of that time. And yes I know this is supposed to be about Tarantino's Pai Mei; but when I saw your comment on Chiun, I couldn't help myself.
It’s common knowledge that Pai Mei was a Daoist. The full name is Pai Mei Dao Ren, or Pai Mei the Daoist. Shao Lin has always been a Buddhist establishment. Wu Dong, the Daoist gang that was led by Bai Mei, was said to be an archenemy of Shao Lin in a few Wu Xia novals for competing as the leader of Wu Lin. It is quite funny to hear that Bai Mai as a Shao Lin monk.
Bak mei was a Taoist, he was at Shaolin when they were attacked, he's one of the surviving 5 elders and speculation about him betraying Shaolin I think are relatively recent and originated in a fiction martial arts novel. He's known for his Phoenix fist, which looks like what kids make to give out charlie horses. His martial art is considered an internal style.
When will people learn you can't permanently defeat Pai Mei? Each defeat only makes his Kung Fu stronger and his insults sassier.
Pai Mei is also the true master and guru of MGTOW..prove @1:25
Hell yeah!
#RedPillWhiteEyebrows
Lo Lieh the legend of Pai Mei...!!!!
I hoping that Boondocks would introduce him since they did hunt at that white lotus clan 🤷🏽♂️
I didn't know he was a unich... Unich means no twig _or_ berries right? (I'm assuming so thinking about History of the World Pt. 1).
I thought he just was like... Y'know, _that_ tough lol man I don't like to think of Pei Mei as a unich lmao 😂
Edit: well then again, I suppose when you're over a thousand years old, that thang is only good for peeing anyway 🤷🏿♂️
QT is a genius with conviction(and clout) to put Pai Mei in Kill Bill. Thanks for this video.
“Spend a man’s money…” wow, he really has reached Full Enlightenment!!!!! SiFu!
Lo Lie portrayed the legendary monk Pai Mei for so long and he was great at it. Still my favorite to this day.

chinese kung fu movies form 60s and 70s. watch them if you can. amazing action
Yahshua - you know Him as Jesus - was born to a virgin, turned water to wine, taught, healed the sick, raised the dead, casted out demons, walked on water, calmed the storm, and fed a crowd of thousands with a few fish and a few loaves of bread, among many other things. He was killed on the cross as payment for the sins of all mankind, three days later He rose from the dead. Forty days later He ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father. He is returning very soon, but before He does, Satan, the devil, is coming to pretend to be Jesus/God. Satan is an angel, and he will have certain supernatural powers with which to try to fool everyone. He will, for example, be able to make fire come down from heaven in the sight of men. He will only be on earth a short time before the real King of Kings, Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, returns. When the real Jesus comes we will all be transformed into our spiritual bodies at the same moment. Jesus came in the flesh to offer forgiveness of sins and eternal life to anyone who believes and calls on His precious name!
if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. - Romans 10:9
Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat. But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her. - Matthew 26:6-13
Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
To anoint your self, the sick, or a building for spiritual protection:
Get a small bottle of olive oil and pour off a small amount into a smaller vessel like a vial or baby food jar. Use the rest of the bottle for cooking. Ask the Lord to bless your vial of oil in Jesus name. Anoint yourself with the oil by placing a dab of oil on tip of finger and touch it to your forehead, and ask the Lord to bless you/heal you. Place a dab of oil on your finger and anoint the door posts and order all negativity and evil out of the house, and order that nothing negative or evil can enter into your home including piggybacking on a person entering, order it to be so in the name of Jesus. Anoint all potential entrances to your home. To anoint the sick, place oil on tip of finger and touch it to the head of the sick and say a prayer of healing over them in Jesus name. See James Chapter 5:14-15. ...
So No1 thought of poisoning pai Mei over a thousand yrs of life til kill Bill??
He didn’t die there he merely passed out and will return to nutslap and backflip face-kick off katanas eventually.
You might enjoy “the 7 grandmasters” it’s literally on TH-cam for free. That has a portrayal of Pei mei he even uses the Pai Mei fist style.
2:47 the young guy on the right plays Pai Mei in KILL BILL's
schizo phrenia The young guy you're referring to is Lau Kar Fei aka Gorden Liu Chia Hui.
schizo phrenia Who is that on your PP?
Its your mom
Wow, how did you figure that out? Is it because he says it in the end? You are a great listener. Impressive. Much respect!
Yes Gordon Lu
Missing dozens of other films, such as Shao Lin Iron Finger 1977 and Ninja vs. Bruce Lee 1978 (Lee-sploitation film). Consider: www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/lo_lieh
Tarantino is the master of ripping things off.
I have got a book on white eyebrow kung fu and is a good book to read. A very rare style of kung fu to learn.
The living members of Wu-Tang Clan and Dirt McGert/ODB/ the Ol' Dirty Bastard would appreciate this.
Psh, originators of the raw Brooklyn Shaolin-style flow that not even Pac or Big can fuck with.
Wow. This was really great! I appreciate the education. Thanks for sharing ✌️🏿🖤
Pei mei is still alive somewhere but he has no reason for revenge against her in kill bill anymore because he already knows she’s dead. The guys lived for a Thousand years and he survived a kick to the groin and a sword stab to the throat but never was able to penetrate it and the element of time itself and I am pretty sure he was poisoned not for the first time neither. Because he has been alive for a thousand years I’m sure a lot of different types of death attacks were done to him but he always survives, so I am not surprised to see him alive today even after she in kill bill was blinded and bitten to death by her own Deathly venomous and poisoness snake. But I bet the poison food had to still hurt him anyway but still there is now no longer anymore doubt that he is not dead and still alive but out there somewhere just waiting for the next student to train but this time around he will be on his guard.
I never thought that Kill Bill's Pai Mei was Wong Fei Hong that I used to watch when I was younger
I’m surprised Marvel or DC hasn’t done an iteration of Wong Fei Hong yet. In the DC Universe, he’d beat the shit out of Batman. In the Marvel-verse, he’d destroy Iron Fist and put up a damn good fight with Capt America.
Wait... so Quentin Tarantino hired a guy who got his ass kicked a ton by the character... to eventually play the character??? Wow... if you can't beat them, be them....
Sweet
you forgot to add that Quentin read the novels my Warren Murphy and Richard Sapir and the Korean Master of Sinanju had some inspiration.
Black Mamba's kid must be grown now. They need to make the story where she goes and pays back Beatrix Kiddo...
.... over the span of three movies. 😉
Beatrix was Black Mamba. The other one was Copperhead
@@DiegoTheGreat89 Oh. Lol. You're right ☺!
No. she'll be wiser to go to school, snag a husband and forget what happened that day after school. If she goes looking for the mamba she might make the mistake of finding her.
@@wk3818 Nah see, she'll be trained by another Pai Mei. Maybe yes, the first time she's young and rash and immature. She gets her ass kicked by beatrix. *BAD* Then she goes on a quest to find Pai Mei.
She's trained, even harder than Beatrix, until she's ready.
Maybe she has to go thru Beatrix's daughter who's a badass too.
But in the end, bloodied and messed up, she prevails.
@We Are Of course. But that's what Copperhead wanted too.
Nevertheless, Beatrix did offer. She said when you grow up, if you're still feeling sore about it, come and find me.
Pai Mei needs his own movie. How he betray the shaolin monks and wipes shaolin temple during the Qing Dynasty.
buret!!!🤣🤣🤣
How u gonna jus gloss over the part about him being a EUNUCH? wtf? do a video about that
So Tarantino...we need that Kill Bill Vol. 3 like yesterday
I mean seriously, I went from increased efficiency photovoltaics to this? I really need to get some sleep.
I really want someone to write a story about him. I would do it but i am too soft to think in the mind of such a character
Pai Mei was a eunuch? I was under the impression that his character was supposed to have become so good at controlling chi flow that he could simply retract them.
Kill Bill weren't a masterpiece...Pei mai has been in better movies.
