Review of Master of the Flying Guillotine (1976) by Budda F — 14 Jul 2010
One of my purchases from the US, either from Best Buy or the big-ass mail-order firm. It has everything. A blind assassin. A weird weapon. A tournament. Watched it twice, with commentary and without. Really enjoyed the characters - especially the "Thai" boxer who was about the most uncouth individual in the film.
Yet when he faced his opponent in the tournament, his opponent did him one better by picking his nose while the Thai boxer did a little prayer dance. Not sure if this was a sign of disrespect or a salute.
The score was also cool. Now I see where some of the little "axe throws" or whatever they were came from in the soundtrack for Kill Bill Vol. 1.
