The Shaw brothers made the original THE FLYING GUILLOTINE back in '72 and then came the amazingly awesome MASTER OF THE FLYING GUILLOTINE in '75 and then this one which might be the worst out of them all but it does feature a flying decapitating weapon which is always fun to watch. Unlike the other movies these flying guillotines seem to have some kinda electric motors on them which make them buzz around and seem like the most absurd unbelievable weapons that don't belong in a movie set in old-time China. Unfortunately most of the numerous scenes without the killer hatbox are pretty generic and boring. The plot is about a guy trying to get a cure for his dying mom from some old kung-fu-crazy Shaolin monks who aren't very helpful and make him go through all sorts of trials. What a bunch of selfish pricks! Then the rest of the movie is about monks vs. some douche-bag prince. Only worth a look if you're super bored on a Saturday afternoon and dig some old-school kung fu silliness and like watching heads roll.
