Shaw Brothers old film fully restored from
the original film.
Running time 101 minutes
Synopsis :
Director Ho Meng-hua attained cult status
among Western kung-fu film fans with The Flying
Guillotine. One of Shaw's biggest martial arts
stars, Chen Kuan-tai, plays the leader of a
group of killers, commissioned by the Ching
Emperor to use a deadly, beheading weapon to
assassinate dissidents. Although based on a
true story, the film's weapon was a complete
fabrication because in real life, no one ever
survived to tell what the actual weapon really
looked like.
