Review of Master of the Flying Guillotine (1976) by Deke — 03 Aug 2008
I discovered this movie completely by surprise, picking it up because it had the coolest title ever! This movie redefined what kung-fu and martial arts meant to me at the time. The story starts off with a one-armed boxer killing the disciples of the MotFG and the MotFG then vowing to kill every one-armed boxer he comes across.
He basically turns into the Terminator, and proceeds to decapitate any who stand in his way. He even has a nifty industrial electronica riff that introduces him whenever he shows up somewhere. The rest of the story is ridiculous, but what is notable is the 15 or so minute long street-fighter royale tournament that takes place near the middle of the movie.
There are no words to describe it or the man that can make his arms grow like Dhalsim. No one can escape the flying guillotine!
