During the reign of the Emperor Yung Cheng (1722-1734),
of the Manchu ruled Ching Dynasty
many kung fu experts were recruited by the Emperor
to suppress revolutionary movements staged by the Hans
These experts were trained to use the deadly weapon
The Flying Guillotine. Thus, many Han patriots of the
former Ming Dynasty went into hiding
But their vows had not been suppressed
The Manchu government sent a shrewd martial arts expert
a master of the flying guillotine, Fung Sheng Wu Chi
to keep surveillance on all Han revolutionists
and kill them if appropriate
Fung Sheng disguised himself as a Lama
and hid in the mountains
with his two disciples Jau-lung and Jau-fu
Jau-lung, Jau-fu, one-armed man
Uncle Fung-sheng, when you receive this note
we shall both be dead
Carved on this note is a one armed man
The one -armed boxer is a Han revolutionary
We were ordered to kill him, but were killed instead
Please take revenge for us!
Jau-lung, Jau-fu
You have sacrificed yourselves for the sake of Ching
l will kill that One Armed Boxer for you!
Salute!
Practice the basic movement!
Dhirng Yung! Brother!
Come over here!
Today l will teach you
the theory of jumping
Shao Sze, come here!
This is the first step and the second
is to concentrate on your breathing
to lighten your weight
You come down, try to break this stone
Breath deeper! O.K.!
because you weren't concentrating on your breathing
that means your kung fu is still inferior
When you can walk on the basket
you have passed into the second step
the third step
is jumping up to the roof
follow me
That's all l will show you today
if you've patience and endurance you can be as good
Keep on practicing! Yes!
Good news! Good news!
What's all the excitement about?
Eagle Claws' school is holding a tournament
without age or school restriction
Right, let's all go
Teacher, are you going too?
Teacher, if you enter
you're bound to win!
Everyone knows of the One Armed Boxer
Show them your kung fu
and we shall share in your victory
Right! Yes, please go!
We study kung fu for spiritual health,
not to gain fame or fortune
Besides, we have our own objectives
The Ching Government is on the look-out for us
l hope none of you will risk entering
There will be many experts,
we could learn from them
Please let's go!

We mustn't draw the attention
from the government

observing the tournament
Armorist!
You are the Chairman of this tournament?
Yes Sir, l am Wu Chang Sheng
and chairman of this tournament!
lf you're the Chairman, l'd like to ask you
why l can't enter the tournament?
You misunderstood the rules
though there is no territorial restriction
but you are a foreigner
Therefore
So what?
Everyone entering
has to sign a life contract
because you're a foreigner
if anything happens
l can't be responsible!
l have traveled far, just for studying kung fu
l don't give a damn about any life contracts!
Good! Then if you can prove your kung fu
There is no problem!
You kick well!
l want to try Eagle Claws kung fu!
Armorists!
Wait a minute!
Let me try!
Shao-tieh, you're not good enough!

Usher! Yes!
Show him the way! Yes!
This way please!
''Win Without a Knife'' Y. Jakuma
Your room is upstairs? Take him up
Yes!
When the Government found out about this tournament
They feared that the rebels may make
a move there
So they sent Fung Sheng to check it out
He also invited
foreigners to join
ln his plan to eliminate all revolutionaries at on
This tournament
will be very rough and dangerous!
Give me two more bottles of wine!

Who are you?
Damn you,
you don't know who l am?
Listen, l happen to be the famous One Armed Boxer!
l killed seven with one palm!
You fool, isn't this proof enough!
Today l killed seven
by one palm again
Who are the seven people you killed with your fist?
Actually, they weren't people, they were flies!
Someone has been murdered
Oh no! Someone's been murdered
He's not the One Armed Boxer?
No,
he was just a bum!
l don't care,
l intend to kill every one armed man!
Daddy, are you looking for me?
Sit down!
There are some foreigners in this tournament
and l have no idea
about their kung fu!
There's no mercy
in the ring
l fear you will get
a better opponent!
Why do you worry?
Shao-tieh, if l hadn't stopped that Thai
could you have
taken his kicks?
lf you are chosen to fight with him
Take extra care!
Daddy, how come!
You always put me down!
l have been in the fighting world for many years
lt is the truth
and don't forget it
O.K., l'll take your advice!
ls it true
that the One Armed Boxer will come?
The invitations have already been sent out
but till now there
hasn't been any news!
l think he will come

Are you the Flying Guillotine sent by the Ching Dynasty.
Yes! Flying Guillotine Fung Sheng Wu Chi!
Good!
l finally get to see
the notorious Flying Guillotine
You've killed senselessly.
Are you from the government?
You listen here, the One Armed Boxer
killed my disciples,
l must avenge them!
You're a bastard!
You've killed people in this tournament
for no reason
l am going to
get you.
No way, you're only from Eagle Claw's school
l must find that One Armed Boxer,
get out of my way!
Father!
Gather around! Gather around!
Unfortunately, Even this is a new school.
We have to close
it down temporarily.
Why must it be closed?
What's behind this?
You must have noticed
the senseless killing earlier
Saw it, we all saw it!
That blind man is sent by the government
The weapon
he used was the Flying Guillotine
Flying Guillotine! Flying Guillotine reappears!
What l am talking about is the notorious
flying guillotine
Unexpectedly, he made use of this tournament
to kill our kung fu experts!
We must find a way
to defeat the flying guillotine!
Yes Teacher! Find a way to beat it!
Teacher! We must defeat it!
That deadly weapon is going to be used to kill us!
Let me tell you something
That old blind man
has two disciples
They have done enough evil deeds
A few months ago,
we fought in the mountains
Just after l killed his two disciples
Now that old blind man appears suddenly
when Hsien Hsing won the fight
l think he was after me,
but got the wrong man!
Brother, we're learning kung fu!
We can't hide for the
rest of our lives
Anyway, you're the One Armed Boxer!
Who says we have to hide?
A man who always escapes is weak-minded!
A man who depends on kung fu is a foolish warrior!
These kinds of men are not our idols
The main fundamental of kung fu
is to act wise and brave
Since we have not yet found a good idea
We must try and avoid
being killed and wounded!
We have nothing to do here
Let's go back to the main school
and tell them to disband
l have heard of your name for a long time!
We don't meet in the tournament
so l have come to visit you
you've come at the wrong time
our school is now closed!
You want to escape? Not so easy!
The Flying Guillotine will not let you go
l have got somebody to bring the blind man here
He should arrive soon!
You are a bastard, let me give you a lesson first!
Stop that!
You take them away first! Quick!
O.K.! Go!
That man who's speaking is the one you're looking for
How could you escape now?
Who are you?
l'm ''Win Without a Knife'' Y. Jakuma!
This is a crumbling temple. l've saved your life!
You have rescued me, but where's my father?
He is dead!
One who is dead, can't come to life again
Don't think of other things till you are recovered
lt doesn't matter!
l just want to know
where to find the blind man
Don't think of revenge. You aren't strong enough
You had better come with me back to Japan!
Go with you, why?
You are quite good. l shall teach you my kung fu
You shall be my first female disciple!
You must be joking.
That isn't my decision. l can't!
You'll know later whether you can or you can't
Rest now! l'm going out for some food!
Miss Wu!
Who's there?
Don't be frightened! lt's me, Yu Tieh Lun!
You are?
A Cave of the God of Mountain in Clearwater Town
Through the cave there is a hut
Go there and rest
l shall return after
l have disbanded my disciples!
O.K.
Bow to the Status of Saint Kwan!
The enemy will be here soon.
l'll leave later
When l have an idea, l'll contact you!
You better leave from the back door first! Yes!
Do you come here to fight?
lt isn't the right time!
The One Armed Boxer
is a one winged chicken
There's a Chinese saying
You can be killed, but not be insulted!
You can be insulted, but can't be killed!
You dare to insult the Statue of Saint Kwan?
l smell blood!
The lndian has been killed!
He can't escape. l'll find him here in this town!
Miss Wu? My brother is back!
Brother, are you seriously wounded?
lt doesn't matter!
But the lndian brought me so much trouble!
l nearly didn't get away!
Are you alright?
Thank you! l feel much better now!
Good! You can stay here till you fully recover!
Hsieh Yung, have you disbanded my disciples?
Yes!
They have gone already!
Come! Let's go inside the house and talk!
Brother Yu, what are you thinking about?
l was thinking that the bamboo is very tough
and even an axe can break chopping it!
Why are you thinking about that?
lnside the Flying Guillotine
there's a ring of knives
which can't be thicker than an axe
So that's how we shall destroy it!
Really?
Yes!
Let's gather my disciples to discuss a plan!
Boss, do you have my order ready?
Yes Sir!
Thanks!
You want to buy a big coffin or s small one?
l just want to
borrow this place from you!
You want to borrow my coffin shop?
O.K!
l have found a way to destroy the Flying Guillotine
Though l'm not sure
whether it will work
because the Flying Guillotine is too powerful
There's nothing that can really stop
its spinning force
The first step of my plan
is to kill Nai Nen
before l confront with the Flying Guillotine
That's why l've gathered you here
Tomorrow morning,
go to town to attract him here!
Coming! Coming!
Be quick!
Go to the inn and get the blind man
Take him to this cave this money is for you!
Be quick!
Put the light on!
See how thick your feet are!
Open the door!
Are you alright?
l'm alright!
But my feet almost got burnt!
Come on, take the body away! Yes!
l don't want any of you killed
Wait for me
at the back of the mountain!
Yu, l won't go
l want to stay here with you!
Why?
l want to see you avenge my father's death!
No, if you stay here l can't concentrate
We might be killed together!
Yu, let's settle our disputes once and for all
l have waited for you for a long time
but l didn't think
you'd come here at the right time!
She was rescued by me
if she follows me, l shall leave!
Otherwise
l'll kill you before the blind man gets here
Yes, you rescued me and l owe you my life!
but l can't follow you!
Don't waste your time talking with him,
get back!
Just one more turn and we'll reach the place!
Go inside the house.l'll use the bamboo formation!
Come on! l've waited long enough for this!
