Carter Wong
This is not a whole lot like the original 1974 classic
which this title borrows its name from, but its not
a bad flick at all. The Flying Guillotine is a semi-
mystical 'head-decapitator', a deadly weapon the
government (Ching Dynasty) wants to get its hands on - but its
owner is a fierce killer when approached uninvited, and decapitates
anyone who comes near his mound (on which he sits and meditates).
C. Wong plays the son of a dying woman who 'needs medicine'
and has to fight his way into a Shaolin Temple in order
to get a sacred text containing the cure for her (his
father's connection ties into the man on the mound).
The holy monks are not too generous or sympathetic though,
and requier seekers to fight for it.
Wong is a good fighter but only a fair actor. Nonetheless its
all good fun and there's lots of intriguing characters
and twisting 'plot' too.
Worthwhile viewing for your downtime, especially if you
love those bald monks.
