The One-Armed Swordsman

When I started my immersion into Shaw Brothers kung-fu, I knew I would eventually see this film. It apparently was a mega hit and marked another transition toward slightly more realistic action (the fights are still crazy, just less magic). The thing that appealed to me the most about this movie was the obvious use of indoor sets rather than actual locations. Despite Jimmy Wang Yu seeming to have one facial expression and a general lack of fighting skill, but he does a decent job as the title character and the story builds to a nice conclusion.
