Overview

The Emperor’s armies have developed a new weapon: a thrown blade that can remove someone’s head from long distance. As the paranoid Emperor begins decapitating anyone he fears might be a threat, his guard Mau Tang becomes disillusioned with the excesses of his master. He leaves his post and takes up the quiet life of farming and raising a family. Eventually, though, his past catches up with him, and he must find a way to fight the flying guillotine if he is to save his head.

Length 105 minutes

Viewing Notes

Rewatched so that I can watch THE FLYING GUILLOTINE II for the first time this weekend. Also figure I might as well make an attempt to watch more Ho Meng-Huan movies since there are a handful on Amazon.

This was the nice, widescreen print but dubbed just like the last time I watched it on Hulu. Would love to see this in its original language one of these days.
