Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

spider-taylor If you read all the reviews here you can see the affection for this unique and bonkers cult classic martial arts movie. I've seen loads of martial arts movies but there ain't nothing like this. I bought it for £2 only because the box art looked intriguing . The best two quid ever !I wont repeat what every body else has said but here are the little things that made this one stand out for me.SPOILERS AHEAD. *One of the baddest villains ever - no talking or fancy speeches, you just loose your head and thats it ! Did I mention he's a blind pensioner. *The signature incidental music for each character *The crazy plot - it is essentially a blind but lethal vengeful pensioner relentlessly pursuing a mild mannered one-armed man who apparently murdered his two disciples. Forget about disability benefit! *The way the cast members play it with straight faces throughout the ridiculous sequences - eg the one-armed boxer teaching his class how to perform 'the flying jump' ! *The extended tournament sequence , with each character more bizarre than the next. *The punk rock intro sequence with pastel coloured freeze-frame montages in a period Chinese movie ?! Its noisy but cool. . . *The slight super natural overtones - stretchy arms, a character who casually walks up walls, another manages to rotate his head 360 degrees without breaking a sweat. *The clever ways the charismatic one-armed boxer uses to defeat his unusual and varied foes ! And more . . . This film is a little delight , its a fast paced plot with not a single dull moment. In fact it might just be the worst film ever made but I give it 10 out of 10 for effort !

ruidobranco Well, what can i say about this movie??? The script is confuse, the acting is awful, the story... Story? What story? There's no story. Everything is just an excuse to have some fights. Well, the fights are good. Finally we get to see where was Dhalsim borne from... Well, the script is so stupid, that we see a fight between Waykuma Wins-Without-a-knife and the one armed boxer because the first wants to take the eagle claw kung fu girl with him to Japan and the second one doesn't want to let her go. And, just for this simple reason, they have a hell of a fight...Well, if you want to laugh out loud, this movie is for you. But, don't expect nothing in the level of the Shaw Brothers or Bruce Lee...

Scarecrow-88 A blind warrior, whose weapon is a flying guillotine, sets his sights of revenge for the one-armed boxer who killed members of his clan. The backdrop setting provided for this revenge plot is a tournament to the death where various fighters, with their unique brands of styles and skills, face off to determine a winner.Yu Wang, who plays the one-armed boxer, directs an amazing kung-fu epic where we see lots of fantastic fighting. One has to go into this without reservation towards the film's heavy use of loud sound effects because Wang even has swifting sounds as arms move in every direction even when contact isn't made. Wang also adopts alternate electronic music scores and ominous sounds within the soundtrack to make the experience even more unique and worthwhile. This is a complete fantasy where Wang adopts some elements where men do outrageous, unrealistic things such as balance on beams, empty baskets, up walls, swords from the ground, etc. There are some unusual fighters such as an Indian who can extend his arms(he's a heavy who has a harrowing battle with Wang's heroic Lu Ti Lung), a fighter who can choke you with his pony tail, the blind guillotine master who has ears that actually move showing just how good his hearing is even despite his handicap. You have a fighter, barefoot, who is quite an impressive fighter until he walks into Liu Ti Lung's trap..a room where the floor is heated with fire underneath and open windows are blocked by his students equipped with spears.The finale, where Liu Ti Lung and the blind guillotine master do battle within a bird and coffin house is spectacular. This flick is made with enthusiasm, style, but suffers from age(the film stock has shown signs of wear as the color fades at times..this really deserves a digital touch-up)which is one of it's few liabilities. Sure you can see Wang's arm underneath his shirt, but that's a small mistake one can easily look over as they watch the man do some amazing things with his other hand and feet. The blind guillotine master is a delightful creation when sparring with those fortunate(..but not as skilled)to have all their senses. You see how good he is with the other senses and just how fast that flying guillotine hits a target.

dee.reid "As you may have gathered, a rational plot summary is pretty pointless - but rest assured there are epic martial arts battles and ludicrously inspired moments galore" - IMDb plot summary."Master of the Flying Guillotine" is one for the ages, no doubt. Those above words just about sum up everything there is to discover in this film. The plot is absolutely ridiculous and only lasts about five minutes total in the whole film. The rest of the movie is devoted to ludicrous yet well-staged action scenes that are sure to live long in memory after it's gone. "Master of the Flying Guillotine" is the most popular martial arts flick from the post-Bruce Lee age, and it's lingered for years on the late-night grindhouse circuit.I sat through the first five minutes and I fell out laughing. Mind you, I wasn't laughing because I couldn't believe it all (I couldn't) but because when you realize it, it's the most over-the-top kick to the head you'll ever experience. It's virtually impossible to take anything in the film seriously, but there's no way that should let you not walk away from it without getting something. The plot, as I mentioned before, is non-existent and any attempts in trying to rationalize the action are pretty pointless.The plot can be summed up like this, in one sentence: After the beginning of the Ching Dynasty, the blind assassin, Fung Sheng Wu Chi (Kam Kang), goes on a murderous rampage, becoming a serial killer who starts offing one-armed fighters left and right, after receiving news (via carrier pigeon) that his two disciples have been murdered by the One-Armed Boxer (lead actor, writer, and director Jimmy Wang Yu) from the first film, and tracks his quarry to a martial arts tournament a la a plot device used in "Enter the Dragon" (1973).That's about all there is to the plot. The Blind Assassin and his weapon of choice - the Flying Guillotine - a tethered device that looks like a hat is swung in any direction he chooses and hooks itself to a victim's head with the aid of razor-sharp blades on the inside and with one good jerk, he rips their head clean off. I don't think I mentioned that other than the fact he's blind, he is able to throw the flying guillotine with pin-point accuracy.Other unbelievable instances occur, including an Indian Fakir whose arms can stretch to twice his own body length, and in one sequence, the One-Armed Boxer battles a Muay Thai fighter (Tsim Po Sham) in a hut while his men light fires under it, essentially turning into a frying pan that literally gives both men hot feet. Then there's the equally unbelievable final confrontation between Wang and the Blind Assassin. The action is pretty bloody and intense, and the punching sounds are so exaggerated I honestly couldn't help laughing uncontrollably.It's wildly insane stuff and it's no wonder Quentin Tarantino idolizes it so much and was able to pay some homage to it with his "Kill Bill" movies.10/10
