It all begins here!!!! In 1967 the legendary director Chang Cheh established the contemporary wuxia sword-play film. The movie in question, The One-Armed Swordsman, not only led to several sequels and spin-offs but remains, alongside Bruce Lee's pivotal The Big Boss and Jackie Chan's Drunken Master, possibly the most influential martial arts movie ever imagined! Starring the legendary Jimmy Wang 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. (88 Films)
