Even non-kung-fu lovers will be mesmerised by Jimmy Wang Yu in the role that made him a superstar. As the mysterious swordsman whose one arm is more powerful than his two-armed rivals, Wang and director Chang Cheh revolutionised the Hong Kong action genre and broke box office records across Asia. A film that always makes the “top ten” list of martial arts masterpieces, this 1967 wuxia classic is as timeless today as upon its original release.
