The One-Armed Swordsman

<p>There was a very important Chinese film that came out when I was eight years old. It was called &ldquo;The One Armed Swordsman.&rdquo; In it the star Jimmy Wang Yu played a swordsman whose arm is cut off by his enemies and he is left for dead. He recovers and learns how to fight using just one arm. He then goes on a seemingly impossible mission of revenge and redemption.</p> <p>Like many Chinese swordplay movies of the 1960s, there was amazing fight choreography, ridiculous amounts of spurting blood and lots of mayhem. The film was a great success and was followed by two sequels, which were not as good.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/the-narrative-arc/the-one-armed-swordsman-acd6b220424f"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
