In 1967, Shaw Brothers released “One-Armed Swordsman”, a new style of swordplay wuxia film, starring Jimmy Wang Yu and directed by Chang Cheh. It became the first film in Hong Kong to rag in Hk $1 million and Jimmy became a huge star overnight. Two years later, Jimmy picked up his broken sword and again under the direction of Chang Cheh, was back in “Return of the One-Armed Swordsman” (“One-Armed Swordsman King”in Chinese) with more bloodletting action.
This time around, our hero Fang Kang (Jimmy Wang Yu) is a happily settled down farmer and has little interest in the affairs of jianghu (the Martial arts world). In the meantime, the evil Eight Sword Kings clan has emerged; they set up a tournament to challenge all rival schools to decide who the best in swordsmanship is. However, this turns out to be a cover-up so they can kill off all the rival schools members.
