Executioners from Shaolin prequel

[Gaijin84]

can somone tell me what it is?

I know I remember reading that a movie ends with with the students escaping from a burning Shaolin temple and then Executioners from Shaolin opens with the same scene

is it Men from the Monastery or a different film?

any help would be appreciated

I'm pretty sure that the prequel is Chang Cheh's '76 film Shaolin Temple.
