Storyline
Plot Summary |
The one-armed boxer is stalked by a vengeful flying guillotine expert, after his disciples were killed in the first 'One-Armed Boxer' film. But as the flying guillotine master is blind, he starts his quest by becoming a serial killer of one-armed men. Meanwhile, the one-armed boxer is running a martial arts school, where he teaches his pupils to control their breath so they can run up walls and along ceilings. And there's an Indian fakir whose arms can extend until they're ten feet long. As you may have gathered, a rational plot summary is pretty pointless - but rest assured there are epic martial arts battles and ludicrously inspired moments galore.

One Armed Bum:
[smashes flies on table with his hand]
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven... I killed seven with one blow! A new record! Hahahahahahahaaa! Hey waiter, bring me some more wine and food, would ya? Hahahaha! Waiter: [after eating, Bum realizes he has no money to pay, gets up and tries to leave] What's this? You leaving? Without paying your bill? One Armed Bum: And, and what if I haven't paid? Do you know who I am, huh? Waiter: [laughs incredulously] Who are ya? One Armed Bum: [slaps waiter's hand] Godammit! You don't know who I am? You never heard of me? Well, listen: Listen all of you! I happen to be the "One Armed Boxer!" See that? I killed seven! That should be enough for you! Yeah, I killed seven with one blow! Did you ever hear of anyone doing that? [small crowd gathers] Waiter: Alright, where are the seven men you killed then? One Armed Bum: Well, they weren't exactly men... they were flies! [everyone laughs] Fung Sheng Wu Chi: [Fung Sheng Wu Chi throws flying guillotine at One Armed Bum, decapitating him. Everyone panics and runs. Fung Sheng approaches waiter] Was he the One Armed Boxer? Waiter: He wasn't the One Armed Boxer! He was just a bum! [waiter leaves] Fung Sheng Wu Chi: I don't care who he was. I plan to kill every one armed man I come across here. See more » |
