Die fliegende Guillotine: Directed by Meng-Hua Ho. With Kuan Tai Chen, Feng Ku, Hung Wei, Wu Chi Liu. An assassin, trained in the use of a throwing weapon that can behead its victims from a distance, questions the morality of his missions and becomes a fugitive hunted by his former comrades.

“A paranoid emperor has 12 assassins trained in the use of a new weapon – the flying guillotine, which can take a guyu0026#39;s head off at 100 paces. The weapon is pretty cheesy actually, but in a good way if you like these old Shaw Bros flicks.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe main appeal of this film is that it is plot driven with a good story line, touching on concepts of morality and when to question loyalty.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHowever, the kung fu is a bit sparse and we donu0026#39;t really see much martial arts until probably 40 minutes in.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWorth watching though, better plot than most of these 70u0026#39;s kung fu flicks even if it isnu0026#39;t exactly packed with kung fu action.”
