| Are you kidding me? This movie is Wang Yu's worst! And I'm a huge fan of Wang Yu. This is a poor version of the One-Armed Swordsman made by Wang Yu himself. It's not a Shaw Bros. film, it's a film made outside the Shaw Studios by another company. Don't get me wrong, I loved the other film made by Wang Yu, "The One Armed Swordsmen" (guest starring David Chang), that was a film made outside the Shaw studios as well. However that film surpasses this film in every level. This film is just a stupid revenge flick that doesn't make sense. The film has nothing to do with the One Armed Swordsman character. It's a character made by Wang Yu. The title is only to capitalize on the success of the Wang Yu Shaw Bros. films. The real name of the film? Heck I don't know, but it's not "One Armed Swordsman". I'm a kung fu buff, and if you see my other reviews of film you can tell I know a classic when I see one. Beleave me when I say I threw this right into the trash. A waste of money.
Get other Wang Yu classic instead, like "Zatoichi Meets The One Armed Swordsman", "The One Armed Swordsmen" (with David Chang), or the masterpiece, the original "One Armed Swordsman" (the Shaw Bros. classic). |
