As the paranoid Emperor begins decapitating anyone he fears might be a threat, his guard Mau Tang becomes disillusioned with the excesses of his master. He leaves his post and takes up the quiet life of farming and raising a family. Eventually, though, his past catches up with him, and he must find a way to fight the flying guillotine if he is to save his head.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Director Ho Meng-hua constructs a dynamic wuxia thriller that explores themes of loyalty and tyranny through the lens of a fantastical weapon. The film builds tension effectively, relying on practical effects and choreography that were groundbreaking for its era.
What lingers after the final clash is a satisfying tale of rebellion against absolute power, told with gritty charm and relentless pacing. A cult classic that delivers exactly what it promises. — MovieFinder Editorial
