The One Armed Swordman, best known as The One-Armed Swordsman, is a 1967 Shaw Brothers wuxia directed by Chang Cheh, who co-wrote it with Ni Kuang. Its tougher, bloodier style helped change the genre, and it became the first Hong Kong film to take HK$1 million at the local box office, making Jimmy Wang Yu a superstar.
Lisa Chiao Chiao, Tien Feng and Angela Pan co-star, and Lau Kar-leung and Tong Kai worked on the action. It opened in Hong Kong in July 1967.
Fang Kang is raised at the Golden Sword school, which took him in after his father died protecting its master. The other students resent him, and a jealous attack leaves him without his right arm. He learns to fight with one arm. When a ruthless gang targets his old teacher, he has to decide where his loyalty lies.
Where does it fit in the series? It is the first of three One-Armed Swordsman films.
Is it suitable for younger viewers? The BBFC rated a 2017 UK release 15 for strong bloody violence.
For another 1967 Chang Cheh and Jimmy Wang Yu film, try The Assassin (1967) DVD. For Tsui Hark's 1995 homage, see The Blade (1995) DVD.
