Master
of the Flying Guillotine is a "classic" Chinese kung
fu film from the 1970's. Plot wise it is one whacky revenge flick.
The opening scene gives us some back story in which we see a one
armed man kill a couple of protégés of a blind kung
fu master. The blind kung fu master swears revenge on the one
armed man. At this point you don't want to be a one armed man
in China. All the blind man needs to hear is reference to a one
armed man in the vicinity and out comes the flying guillotine
and there goes the guy's head. (Doesn't matter if he has the right
one armed man or not) There are a variety of interesting fight
scenes (the "Indian" guy's extenda arms are hilarious),
which means your 90 minutes is pretty well spent.
