How great can a movie be when it's written, directed and starred in by the same person, kick ass great if it's a 70s martial arts flick. It's your typical Martial Arts flick with cheesy effects, old men who can kick your ass and the occasional eye gouging. I always wanted to be able to make sounds with my arms and hands and walk on walls but alas I cannot. Heres the basic plot The One Armed Boxer has killed 2 evil students in a previous movie, and their master the blind Fu Sing Wu Chi seeks revenge with his deadly Flying Guillotine. Picture a Beekeeper hat with a saw blade on it that chops your head off with deadly accuracy. The Evil master hunts the One Armed Boxer down but not before he kills any one armed person in his path. There is a martial arts competition going on with some really interesting characters like the indian who can extend his arms to kick his opponents ass or the japanese fighter who fights in more of a Capoeira style. And apparently everyone wants to beat on the poor One Armed boxer to prove they are the best, come on he has just one arm. But wait I think he's hiding it in his shirt. Apparently CGI wasnt invented in the 1970s. Well in the end, smarts and one arm outdo old and blind, Sorry Flying Guillotine.
If you are looking for old school martial arts with cool moves and poor dubbing then you're better off searching for the Kung Fu channel, man I miss it.
If you saw the original The One Armed Boxer, please let me know I dont think I could watch both.
