Master of the Flying Guillotine
Dan Halsted (head programmer at the Hollywood Theater in Portland) drove a semi to Vancouver to rescue a rare collection of 35mm Kung Fu films. This is your one chance, barring crazy luck or a trip to Portland, to ever watch these prints on film and in their original aspect ratio.
A blind assassin armed with a vicious flying guillotine is out to kill the legendary one-armed boxer (martial arts superstar Jimmy Wang Yu). Along the way, he interrupts a bizarre kung fu tournament and heads start to roll. It's up to the one-armed boxer now, with his skull shattering punch and his ability to walk on walls. Eagle claw masters, a monkey style fight, and a Swami fighter with ten foot arms are just stepping stones to the massive showdown with the flying guillotine. This is one of the greatest kung fu movies of all time, and truly must be seen to be believed. — Dan Halsted Master of the Flying Guillotine
