FLYING GUILLOTINE Release Date: 1970’s Starring: Chen Kuan-tai Plot: The emperor is getting paranoid, and orders a loyal subject to invent an undefeatable weapon. The result is the infamous flying guillotine (did this thing really exist?). Of the soldiers training to use it, Chen Kuan-tai is the best, much to the jealously of the second-best at using it. Second best tries to frame Kuan-tai, who eventually leaves himself when he figures out the emperor is mad and killing innocent people. Kuan-tai starts a new life, complete with wife, but can't escape his past forever. His enemies come looking for him, and he must find a way to defeat the dreaded hatbox with teeth. Reviews: Some people think it is stupid. I sort of like it. Not a lot of kung-fu, but plenty of decapitation and blood- letting.
