Men From The Monastery (AKA Disciples Of Death) is part of the Shaw Brothers stable of Kung-Fu movies. It was shot alongside another film, Heroes Two by the director Chang Cheh. It is fun in parts but can by no reach of the imagination be called a good film.
“Disciples of Death” is a way better name. I don’t know anything about this movie, but there are names, and then there are names.
You’re right! (And My Drama List has yet another English title, Dragon’s Teeth.)
The original Chinese title could be translated as Sons of Shaolin but I don’t think the name of that monastery had as much mind share in the English-speaking world back in 1974 as it does today. (And many wouldn’t have even known how to pronounce it. Even in the 90s, at the height of the Wu Tang Clan’s fame, I heard people saying it “Shay-oh-lin”.)
I think the person who came up this specific title was British and having a bit of fun with it, punning on the title of a then-popular, long-running radio sitcom on the BBC called The Men from the Ministry.
