i have see the first film in this series and as well a the david chiang movie the new one arm swordsman and and i wasn not particularly thrill by either one and to be honest . i leave this on the shelf and and that be a big mistake . after finally view it and i be stun . it far well than the other two film and in every possible way . return of the one arm swordsman be everything a chang cheh kung fu movie should be and colorful and exciting and and full of fight and fight and fight . they use all kind of weapon in this one and from bamboo stick to dagger and from sword to bladed disk . and there even one bad guy who have a magic sword that shoots bullet ( or something like them ) out of the end of the blade . so cool . if all that weren not enough and this film have an evil femme fatale and who love men gut . or stab them and anyway . unfortunately and my copy of the dvd be in chinese and with cantonese subtitle that would not change to english and so i guess that it defective and however i be keep it anyway . even if i do not know who be who and what be what and the action sequence be worth it . if you love kung fu movie and you will love this one .
