Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing

2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

ckormos1 The first rule for a successful career in motion pictures is - find something that works and beat it to death. Jimmy Wang Yu lost his right arm in 1967 in "One Armed Swordsman". The movie shot him to the top and he followed the rule and made a career out of it. As many have commented, this movie has many similarities to "Master of the Flying Guillotine". This movie falls flat in many ways but it's interesting to watch next the other movie and see how Jimmy took the flopping carps and turned them into leaping dolphins. I particularly enjoyed his one finger handstand. Yes, the special effects are not special at all but still it was fun. On the sad side, whatever happened to the girl in this movie, Cindy Hang Tsin (1951-1978)? I can't find anything explaining her untimely death.

mrn87 This is my favourite Martial Arts film ever. Although some reviews feel the sequel superior I would disagree. This is mainly due to the fact the second film is a competition movie for most of its running time which I find less interesting than arrival schools set up.The villains in this are brilliant from the devilish karate leader to the Thai Kickboxers and the sheer range of the martial arts they use keep the fights fresh. There is also some quite brutal bits with heads being bloodied and people dying in boiling oil.There is the slightly off putting sight of a Chinese man dyed brown to play an Indian yoga master but we had Angelina Jolie pull the same trick a few years back so I won't hold it against them.Overrall a rip-roaring slab of funked up differently abled mayhem. If you live somewhere you can get it on DVD do it if you don't dust off your VCR and get the video.

ebiros2 Although not well known in the US, this is one classic kung-fu movie that has its place in the annals of kung-fu action movies starring Yu Wang, and probably the movie that catapulted him to big stardom. Before Bruce Lee, and Jackie Chan he was THE martial action star.Format was very innovative as many of Jimmy Wang's movie is. This movie features a martial artist with only one arm, and like the blind swordsman series that made Shintaro Katsu a big star, his name will be associated with this movie for a long time. When you see this movie, you'll see how good of an athlete Jimmy Wang is, and he can play a good guy character like nobody else.A martial arts movie classic, and a must see if you are a martial arts movie fan.

jsteimel What ever happened to the good old days? Sitting in a Times Square movie theater all day watching the 3 or 4 movies for the price of one. Well onto the movie, I also remember this movie from the good old days, the effects and story are wild. Watching this one armed man running around on 2 fingers to beat an opponent or popping a hole in the inflating monk. I would love to see this and some of the other oldies ( Duel of the iron fist, Chinese Hercules ) released on DVD. I will keep hoping.
