Zhang Che revisits the premise of his epochal One-Armed Swordsman (1967), but with a gruesome difference. David Jiang portrays an arrogant warrior humbled by a nefarious opponent and forced to hack off his own arm. Years spent waiting tables have fortified his single-handed dexterity, but the untimely death of his comrade finally launches him back on the path of bloody retribution. The action choreography builds to an astonishing finale that traverses the entire span of a bridge and then some. 1971, Hong Kong, color, 35mm, in Mandarin with Chinese and English subtitles, 94 minutes.
