The Flying Guillotine
ActionForeign
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.

Also includes three English Dolby Digital 2.0 commentary tracks: film critic James Mudge; author Chris Poggiali and film historian Brian Bankston; and Hong Kong cinema expert Bey Logan.
Trivia: Directed by Ho Meng-Hua, *The Flying Guillotine* is one of the best-known examples of the fantastical weaponry and stylised martial-arts action associated with Shaw Brothers’ wuxia productions of the 1970s.While the weapon itself has continued to appear in later Hong Kong and Chinese martial-arts films.
