Buddha Assassinator is part of the Shaolin Dolemite Kung Fu series. The original Dolemite films starred Rudy Ray Moore with a blend of humor, clumsy kung fu, and recycled one liners. Moore does not star in The Buddha Assassinator, but he presents the film in ornate and bad-ass fashion as only he can. The film goes nowhere with its plot, and it seems as if the director was trying to poke fun of traditional Eastern Kung Fu film making (just like Woody Allen). With Asian Kung Fu masters saying things like, "I'm gonna jack you up" and "Uncle, your feet smell" only add to the film's perverse comical fashion.
Lord Tsoi of the Manchus has used his Buddhist Fist expertise to destroy a great many Ming patriots. While visiting a temple, he's ambushed by the Ming patriots and a native comes to his rescue. In gratitude, Lord Tsoi makes him his personal guard and trains him in the Buddhist Fist.
