Return of the One-Armed
Swordsman (1969)
Written & directed
by Chang Cheh this sequel stars Jimmy Wang, Lisa Chiao, Lin Chia and
Chung Wa. Eventually our hero is coaxed out of his peaceful life as a
farmer to help young swordsmen get their masters back from eight
bandit sword kings.
There is no real
character development in this sequel and not much plot beyond the
basics. What this film does best is move quickly from fight sequence
to fight sequence with out getting bogged down between. Most of the
action is of a decent standard although at times it is a little
obvious where edits have been used to create a special effect.
3/5
