One-Armed Swordsman

One-Armed Swordsman is the first of many films in the soon to follow One-Armed Swordsman series.  Released in 1967, directed by Chang Cheh, and starring Jimmy Wang, it features the titular character who loses his arm and proceeds to unleash madness upon those who attempt to stand in his way.
Though this is a Chang Chen film, I did see a some parts taking inspiration from King Hu's Come Drink With Me, one of the more notable scenes being the tea-hut (?) scene drawing parallels to the tavern scene.
This is not to say that Chang Cheh's filmmaking style is like King Hu's; it is anything but.  His heavy emphasis on blood and violence is one of the many traits that make it unique, and truth be told, it was quite amusing at times.  Though, sometimes the characters' thought processes on choosing to repeat the exact same mistakes that would lead to them dying over and over, nearly becoming comedic at the end did make the movie somewhat hilarious.
However, that is not to say that this is not an enjoyable film, but one may need to suspend their beliefs for many a plot point in order to do so.
