Flying Guillotine






THE FLYING GUILLOTINE-1975-During the Manchu dynasty, Xin Kang (Ku Feng) creates the title weapon for his evil emperor Yung Cheng (Yang Chiang). After killing a German Sheppard and a rooster he trains a group of men to operate the weapon and they become assassins who get rid of the emperor's enemies. One soldier, Ma Teng (Kuen Tai Chen) revolts and runs away. He meets a woman and they have a baby. Meanwhile another soldier plots to overthrow his leader. When Ma Teng and the flying guillotine assassins cross paths again he invents an umbrella like defensive against the deadly decapitating machine. This violent and enjoyable craziness was directed by Meng Hua Ho  (THE DRAGON MISSILE) and is based on actual legends of the existence of such a weapon.
