Starring the legendary Jimmy Wang (MASTER OF THE FLYING GUILLOTINE) as a seriously wronged one-limbed loner on a path of vengeance - first time viewers of this eternally iconic motion picture will doubtlessly be taken aback by its blindingly beautiful colour palette and some shocking vicious (and gory) fight sequences. Having not aged one day, it is an eternal sin that THE ONE-ARMED SWORDSMAN still misses out on snotty, sniffy critic lists of the 'best foreign films' ever produced.
See THE ONE-ARMED SWORDSMAN, in glorious HD, and witness the beginning of chopsocky cinema. And 88 Asia is proud to bring this endlessly entertaining classic to UK BluRay!"  |
Lets hope they release the superior sequel,as well as New one armed swordsman.
