Cast : David Chiang, Ti Lung, Li Ching
Director : Chang Cheh

Synopsis

A famous swordsman was set up by his scheming opponent and forced to hack off his own arm. For years, he worked in an inn as a waiter and had fortified his single-handed dexterity in due course. When his comrade was later killed by his arch rival, he dusted off his sword to challenge him in a duel ….

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.
