Master of the Flying Guillotine (Anniversary Edition) (Original Mandarin Version) (1975)
When the Manchu dynasty employs the Master of the Flying Guillotine (Kam Kong) in hopes of quelling the resistance stirring within than Han people (their dynasty had recently been overtaken) the Master accepts, oblivious to the challenges that could impede him. Before long, a fighting tournament is announced, and the participants include the One Armed Boxer, who was responsible for killing two of the Master's disciples. The Master is certain he can down his newfound opponent by means of the Flying Guillotine (which entails hurling through the air at such a velocity that the victim is decapitated on contact), but the One Armed Boxer proves a challenging fighter himself. The film also features Jimmy Wang Yu and Lung Kun Yee. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide

This DVD starts off with a title screen warning you that the original 35mm print of the movie was irreversibly damaged and has been "patched up" digitally for the DVD release. This means minutes at a time of pixelated video squares dominating the screen and choppy sound that cuts out frequently. The first 20-25 minutes are unwatchable. The rest is OK with only a few more instances of damage but since this movie is just a "bandwagon" flying guillotine movie, I suggest you see the original instead.
