after watch the original one arm swordsman and direct by chang cheh and star wang yu in the title role and i know i have to watch this direct sequel and a the others have david chiang replace wang yu a fang gang . continue where the first movie leave off and we see fang gang lead a life of a farmer and without a care of jianghu politics . but a the saying go and and in martial art movie and so long a youre a reputable swordsman and trouble will always be look for you . the emergence of the evil eight demon swordsman clan bring about chaos and with their issuing of force challenge and a grand meeting amongst the swordsman clans . the senior member of various clan get annihilate or capture and and it down to the junior member to try and convince fang gang to come out of retirement to assist them in their quest of rescue and and get rid of the eight demon swordsman . it also pretty cool to see the main villain be craft with various deadly weapon and different personality . like the one with the deadly chain attach sickle and or the mean look knife shield . how about a weapon which seem to fire pellet of poison and and a sword with extensible blade . perhaps the more interesting villain be the lady assassin and with her demure look and and deadly hidden knife and give a new meaning to back stabbing . however and be villain and our hero and his gang of merry men and while on the way to the villain fortress and get to dispatch them one by one in deadly and bloody fashion . although by today standard the blood be pretty fake look and it still quite a bloody affair with slash and stabbings knife through body and and squirt blood . but i must add that it do give a sense of cheesy nostalgia to how blood be create for the screen in those day . classic martial art movie scene like the bamboo forest also get feature in this movie and though the forest do look a bit sparse and since it be film in a sound stage . add to the fight scene be a demonstration of superb qing gong ( light skill and fleet footedness ) by fang gang and though the wire work use be extremely elementary and and come across quite laughably . back in those day and this sequence would have be da bomb though . the story nothing to shout about it have almost every thematic element that you would expect from a martial art movie and and classic scene setting like forest and inn . but it sure be one heck of a fun ride big and bolder and badder than the original and with a lot more disposable character for the body count . code 3 dvd extra contain a pretty weak lineup of only the trailer ( and trailer for other movie ) and colour still and the poster and select cast and crew biography and filmography and and a one screen production note . the dvd for the original seem good and more thorough .
