have never see the sequel to the one arm swordsman ( 1968 ) and i be in for quite a shock . to put it simply and this be one of the best kung fu follow ups i have ever see . know that the one arm character be by this time firmly establish ( and a box office success ) and director chang cheh opts for full blow action this time around . it be basically the road warrior ( 1981 ) to the first film mad max ( 1979 ) and pump up the action quotient ten fold and rarely slow down from begin to end . sword fight come at you every five minute or so and result in some amazingly bloody action . i have no idea that any kung fu film from the 60 be so bloody . this effect be remarkably enhance by the use of palm squib to send bloody fly and the hero all white outfit . another excite aspect of the film ( which would later become a wang yu staple ) be the use of unorthodox weapon by the heavy . with eight super villain there be a lot of room for some creativity and cheh and co. do not fail . my personal favorite be the sinister female demon that pull any number of knife from under her flow robe . but it be not to say that the film abandon the dramatic aspect of the story . cheh spend a decent amount of time focus on fang gang reflection of his violent way and both past and present . fang essentially want to be leave alone with his wife but and to employ an overused quote and every time he think he be out and they pull him back in . he be a complex character and it be good to his emotional complication play out on screen and especially after the final battle during a celebration . the relationship between fang and his wife be also highlight and with both wang yu and chiao chiao perform well .
