"MASTER OF THE FLYING GUILLOTINE is a guilty pleasure for any moviegoer who enjoys a bit of overindulgence ... it's a marvelously maniacal masterpiece that's worth losing your head over." - KUNG FU CINEMA.COM

"It's A Mean Machine - Cuts Your Head Off Clean!"

A wacked-out kung fu classic, MASTER OF THE FLYING GUILLOTINE stars martial arts legend Jimmy Wang Yu (who also wrote and directed) as the One-Armed Boxer, a warrior who has remained true to the recently overthrown Ming Dynasty. A league of kung fu killers are tracking down rebels with a new, deadly weapon--the flying guillotine ("it's a mean machine ... cuts your head off clean!"); an unbeatable, almost supernatural blind man is the king of these killers. After the One-Armed Boxer defeats two of the blind master's disciples, the blind master goes to a martial arts tournament to kill every one-armed man he meets until he has slain the One-Armed Boxer.
The wild mix of fighting styles at the tournament (using ropes, swords, sticks, Eagle's Claw, Thai kickboxing, and Hindu magic that produces elongated arms) provides a spectacular centerpiece. Crazy, campy, and cartoonish, this one-of-a-kind kung fu flick really delivers the goods, and the spectacular final battle in a coffin shop will have you on the edge of your seat ... if you haven't already lost your head!


(Yu Wang, 1975, China, dubbed in English, 93 mins., rated R)
