The One-Armed Swordsman
One of the classics of martial arts cinema, this is often referred to as the first real martial arts film, focusing as it does on techniques and styles rather than clan politics and corruption. A Shaw Brothers gem with Johnny Wang Yu as the titular betrayed student, forced from a peaceful existence to defend his old school. In order to do so he must learn a new and mighty technique - with just one arm!
