Director : Chang Cheh
Synopsis

A fantastically paced movie with an explosive climatic finale that has out does its two predecessors ‘ The One-Armed Swordsman ‘ and ‘ Return Of The One-Armed Swordsman ‘ !

David Chiang and Ti Lung were good in this movie, but the story is rather ridiculous -David severing his own arm. The original "One Armed Swordsman" is far better than this one. Wang Yu was excellent in all 3 episodes.
