Although this gruesome action drama with a touch of horror was a huge success after its premiere, “Flying Guillotine 2” the problematic official sequel directed by Cheng Kang and Hua Shan and starring Ti Lung didn’t get released till 1978. In the meantime, Jimmy Wang Yu was quick to follow up with his action packed but outrageous “Master of the Flying Guillotine” in 1976.

Set in the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Yung Cheng (Chiang Yang) uses military force and fear to maintain peace and order as well as make sure that no one dares to oppose him. Meanwhile, after being inspired by a diabolo, a sort of Chinese yo-yo gadget operated by using a rope, his trusted royal servant Xin Kang (Ku Feng) eventually develops the flying guillotine, a killing machine which can chop anyone’s head clean off even from a hundred yards away. Furthermore, twelve men...

Judgement of an Assassin
Written by Ni Kuang
Directed by Sun Chung
Hong Kong, 1977
Vengeance, lust for power, bruised egos, noble desire to remain true to one’s better judgement, none of these carry any meaning in when people are the subject of a trial. In the court of law, justice is blind, or should be, and as such anyone who circumvented it will receive due punishment. There are, however, many creative ways to corrupt the courts themselves, thus rendering attempts at shedding light on the all important truth moot. That is when vengeance and lust for power truly carry their weight against all odds. Sun Chung directs a large scale cast of performers in Judgement of an Assassin, a rather epic legal drama and martial arts hybrid where the fighting, both verbal and physical, happens inside and outside the courts.
When they least expect it, the Golden Axe clan,...

HONG KONG -- Stephen Chow's Kung Fu Hustle on Tuesday kicked its way into the Hong Kong Film Awards, sweeping up 16 nominations out of 17 categories. The film, financed by Columbia Pictures Film Production Asia, has earned $7.8 million after 40 days in release and is only about $30,000 away from the 2001 boxoffice record held by Chow's previous film, Shaolin Soccer. Chow received nods for best director, best screenplay and best actor while Yuen Wo-ping was nominated for best action choreography. Kung Fu Hustle's other nominations included best film; best actress (Yuen Qiu); best supporting actors (Yuen Wah, Chan Kwok-kwan); best new performer (Huang Shengyi); best cinematography (Poon Hang-sang); best film editing (Angie Lam); and best visual effects (Frankie Chung, Don Ma, Tam Kai-kwan, Franco Hung).
