The Magnificent Ruffians (1979)
My rating: 4/10
Yeah, these "glorified stunt show" type wuxias just ain't for me. My attention didn't just wander on this one, it went on a nice long hike in the country, befriended several woodland critters, and brought back souvenirs.

obsessed with this sweet little bangs-having dude. his beloved shifu is dying of Death Disease and says my boy it is time i told you: you have five evil shixiong. the reason why you have five evil shixiong is because our sect is evil and the whole jianghu hates our guts, and yes your martial arts suck absolute ass but i do need you to defeat all of them for me. i don’t know what names they’re going by or where they’re at, but for a starting place you can go talk to my cringefail shidi. i also don’t know what name he’s going by or where he’s at. good luck my boy

Jimmy Wang Yu as Fang Kang, The One-Armed Swordsman (1967).
This film was a huge hit for the Shaw Brothers studio and director Chang Cheh, and launched Wang into superstardom. He returned as Fang Kong in the sequel, Return of the One-Armed Swordsman (1969). This soon lead to Wang playing various one-armed swordsmen and one-armed boxers in films for several years.
