(1967) One Armed Swordsman
DUBBED
Popular film in Hong Kong which inspired many sequels about a very disciplined decipher who decides to leave, accidentally gets his right arm chopped off (in unconvincing low budget fashion) and upon running away, comes across a one time lonely orphan who nurses him back with a brand new transformation! Manage to get this "Dragon Dynasty" copy used and was very disappointed to see that Cantonese was not one of the options of languages spoken since it was originally released in Cantonese and it was not until the return of Hong Kong back to China that most period films were re-dubbed again to Mandarin, so instead of listening it re-dubbed to MandarinI thought it'd be better watching it on dubbed! In terms of the action, one should be able to tell which were the real swords and which are the fake ones since on some scenes some have a mirror reflection and they're others that don't have that at all and very mediocre in terms of the action in comparison to Hong Kong films started in the late 70's. The story seems to be original which is preventing this low budget material from getting a negative rating which encouraged studios to spawn sequels and copycats! This film deserves a pass for it's originality and not for the martial art scenes at all.
