Summary: Two-fisted entertainment!
A super-good film that raised the bar for all other HK kung-fu flicks to come. A young man skilled in kung-fu loses his arm to a hired goon from a rival school. He recovers only to discover his school is destroyed. He must take revenge, but how? By deadening all nerves in your his and tempering it to an unbreakable deadly smashing weapon, of course! The best parts of this movie are from the variety fighting techniques from a rouge's gallery of villians. Lama, Thai boxing, and Tae Kwon Do, and Yoga are all in da house and representin'. Not exactly accurately portrayed styles, but still acted out with enough over the top bravado to make this one of the greats. Watch the sequel Master of the Flying Guillotine! 9/10
