Flying Guillotine

Master of the Flying Guillotine (1974) was hot. Not blow-your-mind material. But great old-school kung fu. It had all the elements:

• Evil white-bearded hermit.
• Some ridiculous characters (an Indian Rubber man, several one-armed boxers...).
• A very thin plot-device to introduce the bulk of the actual fighting.
  
• Ugly scenery typical of the kung fu of that era.

Interestingly, the hero (the real one-armed boxer) was content to use some seriously not-honourable schemes to get his man. For western cinema that's fine. For kung fu of that era... well, it stood out to me as pretty odd.

I notice that Block Cinema is getting underway (spectacularly good idea, guys). The question is: Can it truly hope to go the distance if it doesn't embrace kung fu? (I jest). I suggest either 36th Chamber or some early Bruce Lee ;)
