Shaolin Wooden Men - Influence

Influence

• The training dummies in this film are the inspiration for the character Mokujin in the Tekken series. They also make an appearance in the manga of Negima.
• At least three Kill Bill references originate with this film: Pai Mai's introduction scene references the stairway and water training scene, Pai Mai himself though in white in Kill Bill is the blind orange master monk (who in Kill Bill blinds Elle), and finally the five point finger exploding hand technique comes from the end battle scene of Shaolin Wooden Men where the villain uses a special punch technique on the protangontists but is only able to deliver 4 of the 5 blows (with the protagonist holding his heart as Bill does right before dying).
