MASTER OF THE FLYING GUILLOTINE

Our tribute to 1976 continues with one of the most insane kung-fu movies to come out of Hong Kong in the 1970s, a very high bar indeed. Master of the Flying Guillotine is a classic martial-arts death match that pits two wuxia icons against each other—the famed One-Armed Boxer (Hong Kong superstar Jimmy Wang Yu) versus a blind assassin (Kam Kong) and his legendary Flying Guillotine. Arguably the most famous Hong Kong martial arts film of the post-Bruce Lee, pre-Jackie Chan period, this independently-produced classic is more popular than ever, with a legacy extending to films like Kill Bill and video games like Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. With its wild, fantasy face-offs and its cosmic Krautrock soundtrack, Master of the Flying Guillotine is undoubtedly a film worthy of losing your head over! ~SM
