Warning to all Shaw Brothers fans.
by Bdiddy68 (Detroit, MI USA)
WARNING!! If it's not distrubuted by Celestial Pictures,(the company that legally owns THE ENTIRE SHAW BROTHERS MOVIE CATALOG), DO NOT BUY. If you want good remasterd Shaw Brothers movies from Amazon, I recommend the movies from Image Entertainment and Dragon Dynasty. At least they did acquire the rights from Celestial to release their movies in the proper way. So to all you Shaw Brothers movie buffs like myself, take heed to this.

Poorly Translated Title/Poor for Jimmy/ BUT....
by Christopher J. Deasy (Depends on the time of year)
...the ending receives all the stars- WOW! otherwise this is a bit lower than average Kung fu film, and I am a Jimmy Wang Yu fan. The fight scenes are below average for the most part and only the last 25 minutes of the film are worth watching. This movie shows that comic relief is necessary in any good story (ask Shakespear.... actually a William S. Kung Fu movie would be a good idea... Macbeth has a pretty good plot for it!). Better one-armed boxing appears in the Master of the Flying Guillotine (spelling?).
1/5
Beyond deceitful...just crap.
by Chet L. Young
WHY, for the love of god?! You know, this might be hard for mainstream movie audiences to understand, but some of us would actually appreciate classy packaging and a quality DVD transfer on a kung-fu flick every once in a while. Unfortunately, those of you looking for what I just described will have to look elsewhere.
I was aware when I bought the film that it wasn't an entry in Wang Yu's "One-Armed Swordsman" series, and I didn't mind that. This is actually "One-Armed Against Nine Killers", a little-seen film from the midseventies that I've been trying to track down for years. What I DON'T appreciate is the fact that Videoasia completely hacked the credits off the beginning of the movie. I'm not thrilled with the condition of the print, either; it's very obviously a direct copy of a shaky, blurry old VHS tape with tracking lines running through it more than once. TRACKING LINES, FOR GOD'S SAKE. Some of the fights are watchable, but the film looks like (...)t overall.
Kung-fu movie fans shouldn't have to put up with this kind of incompetence and carelessness in the DVD age. We paid our dues with all those cheap videotapes in the eighties, remember? There must be some company out there that's willing to spend a little cash and give these films a decent release. As for Videoasia(which should be put out of business): shoddy work, you ripoff artists. I won't be buying anything else with your name on it. Why not aim a little lower and retitle the movie "One-Armed Swordzman Vs. Nine Killaz, Biatch"? You might sell it to three or four more unlucky people.
NO STARS.

decietful but still somewhat adequate
by SLAVE (citrus heights,ca)
Although there are no One Armed Swordsmen, there is only one One
Armed Boxer, the movie is still not bad! The movie is actually
called One Armed vs. 9 Killers which would make since, but I
guess Video Asia changed the name to get dumb-asses like us to
buy these films! The picture quality is watchable, but there are
scenes in the movie to where the screen will start boncing up
and down and it's annoying! But that only occurs like 7 times
and usual they appear whenever the camera takes a picture of the
sky for some dumb ass reason! Other than that, this is a walk in
the park kung fu flick with Jimmy Wang Yu style brutal fights
and slow moving story!
2/5
Deceitful Cover and Title
by pr_arcangel (Florida)
First of all, I love all the one armed swordsman series with Jimmy Wang Yu but this film is both deceitful on it's cover and title, and the reason being the following: The Cover shows the old legendary One Armed Swordsman (I believe the picture is from part 2 of the series), in this movie Jimmy Wang Yu plays a one armed fighter, nothing to do with the original legendary swordsman since not even once does he uses his cutoff trademark sword or any sword at all, it's more like the chinese boxer but with an awful twist at the end. It should be renamed appropriately "The One Armed Fighter..." not at all what I expected this movie to be. Hence, the rating on this movie but if you are really a hard-core Jimmy Wang Yu fan and don't mind the comment, you might want to consider buying it.
