One Armed Boxer

Good Movie

Great 👌 Actor Jimmy Wang Yu Kung Fu Classic 😎

I have been looking for this movie for a long time. I was actually looking for THE CHINESE PROFESSIONALS. and found that the One Armed Boxer was the same. Watched this movie ages ago at an all night of "fly through the air" karate movies at an all night theater. Brings back great memories.

I plan on buying a few more for a few Brothers who are like me. This one I saw at the Capital Theatre Back in the early (1970s). Definitely a collectors commodity, it’s remastered and has the the Chinese Theatrical Trailer. Worth getting!

I saw MASTER OF THE FLYING GUILLOTINE and I was thrilled to find it was a sequel to another film, ONE-ARMED BOXER (aka THE CHINESE PROFESSIONALS). Even more thrilled to find that Wang Yu wrote and directed this one as well, and his trademark pedal-to-the-metal craziness is in effect. It's not as outlandish as MOTFG, but there are more fights per gallon, and Wang Yu is in it start to finish - it's his show all the way. And the main bad guy has fangs. FANGS. That stick out of his mouth.The English dub is fun (this from a dub-hater), and the original Mandarin version uses...the theme from SHAFT. Yes, really. So you'll want to watch both versions.Don't call it a prequel - a prequel is something made AFTER, but showing events that took place BEFORE the first film. This is simply the first in a series of two films. Why oh why weren't there more movies about Yu Tien Lung, the One-Armed Boxer? The concept is basically Wang Yu saying "Hm...the one-armed swordsman worked well for me....and so did the Chinese boxer...I'll just make a mashup of the two and put some asses in theater seats." And by all accounts it worked, so I have to wonder why there wasn't a 3rd, 4th etc OAB film. Wang Yu had other one-armed films after this, so he did have loyalty to the formula, but sequel mania didn't really hit filmmakers until the Age of the Blockbuster, so maybe that's it.A basher through and through - little graceful kung-fu work here (no Lau brothers, I think) as Jimmy moves from one ass-whuppin' to another. The usual suspects are all present, San Mao and Lung Fei (our fanged Japanese baddie) especially, and the two Tibetans Jimmy fights are none other than Chow Lung and Chow Fu, who deliver their message from beyond the grave to get The Master of the Flying Guillotine all fired up in the pre-credit sequence of MOTFG ("Master Fung Sheng - if you receive this message, it will mean that both Chow Lung and I will be dead. Carved on the tile is the image of a one-armed man. Teacher, he will have killed us...").Bottom line: FUN movie, as fun as MOTFG, but different in tone. This is another that gets lots of repeat viewings, and it's one of the best of the Wang Yu oeuvre. See what I did there, going all oeuvre on you? Yeah? YEAH.

I found it!!!🙂 Saw this movie at the Eastmont Mall Theatre in Oakland,Cali. I loved the different styles of martial arts portrayed in this film! Didn't know Jimmy Wang Yu...wrote, started and directed the film! Big Respect!👏👏🇺🇸

Saw this movie at a drive in theater when I was a kid. Over 40 years later, I found it on Amazon. Unbelievable! Played perfect. No flaws, plenty memories.....
