i don't know how inherent it is to the pai mei character to have his, uh, hole(?) where his junk used to be function as some sort of super powerful vacuum, but i have a hunch this is just lau kar-leung being his weird old self. other examples that add to my case: a new-to-me chamber of shaolin that involves trying to open your wife's legs on your wedding night, a gremlins mechanic where pai mei can seemingly only be beat between 1 and 3pm, an iron training dummy that's loaded up with little pachinko balls, and for lau-fanboys maybe more of an odd coincidence is the fact lo lieh (pai mei read

i would love to know what techniques heavily relies on grabbing your opponent's genitals. just... whole-handing that shit. this movie, in every fight scene has a bit where the hero tries to grab the bad guy's junk- and the guy laughs evilly when the hero can't find anything to grab. is this a "weird flex, but okay" type thing? like, bro, shouldn't you be a bit more concerned? crazier still, the evil old guy can like... vacuum-lock his crotch, just in case you try to kick him in the dick. there's a whole air-seal sound effect and everything. good luck ever getting your foot back now! read
