What karate movie/title is this? Help me find it!

I remember seeing this movie at the theater as a kid but I don't remember the title. I do remember some scenes especially the epic ending.

Basically they kill this family, the little boy survives, he trains and meets up with the evil guy that is a Shaolin, long white beard and he has a little axe on top of his white hair. As the fighting progresses at one point the hero grabs the Shaolin's balls and the Shaolin laughs and says "can you find it?". Then the Shaolin is fighting butt naked...the hero takes the axe clip off his head and stabs it right on his eyes which blinds him...then the ending shows the Shaolin monk falling down tons of stairs. We're talking about 1970's movie here.

Edit: Don't think the evil guy was a Shaolin monk as he had long white hair.

That doesn't sound like a karate movie.

Its' 100% karate. Nothing American about it.

Bad guy looked exactly like this except he was fat and had a little axe on his hair/head that served as a hair clip for his long white hair.

I don't know about a little axe in the hair, but the nudity & ball-grabbing appears here:

Clan of the White Lotus. Although sounds like you may have mixed in some Executioners From Shaolin with your description. They're pretty much identical movies. However, in Executioners from Shaolin, the son is the one that gets revenge. In Clan of the White Lotus, it is the last remaining survivor from Shaolin that learns a different style from the wife of his dead friend and he also uses acupuncture and hides a variety of needles in his hair.

Karate = Japanese
Kung Fu = Chinese

Actually, the good guy looked exactly like that actor.

Those two movies fit well my description. I was off because they are old child memories when I saw those movies. I might have seen them that day at the theater back to back so that is why the mix up.

You can imagine being a child and seeing an old dude jumping out of the pool naked so unexpected and shocking.

Thanks for the info!
