Customer Reviews of The Flying Guillotine
5 STAR MOVIE/1 STAR DVD It's a shame that these classic Martial Arts films are not given a more appropriate presentation. This film is one of the best of the Shaw Brothers Classic Action flicks. It started a series with Master of the Flying Guillotine coming soon after. It's true that this Hong Kong franchise was just another shameless money-making enterprise, but it's influence on mainstream American filmmaking cannot be denied. Culturally, these films carried an impressive blend of folktale and proletarian values that are very near to the Chinese way of thinking. The bloody revenge seeking working-class heroes personified a kind of wish-fulfilment on the part of the Hong Kong movie-goer. With the British controlling the Chinese Port it became a characteristic of the populace to want to see Justice doled out aginst the odds. What better weapon to fight the Industrialisation of the European infestation but the ancient Martial Arts. A weapon from distant, traditional, near mythic times fed nostalgia and fueled the desires of a movie-going public that wanted to excorcise the bloodied changes brought about by the Hybrid British Colonisers by reflecting it in their forms of entertainment. One of those weapons is THE FLYING GUILLOTINE!!!!!!!
Dissappointed
Don't be fooled by the caption on the DVD box - "special wide screen edition "because it's full screen.An excellent Shaw Brothers early 70 movie,still has alot of action and is still very entertaining.However I feel conned because it's not wide screen as stated.This dvd must be the worst ever transfer from vhs.Eventhough it's a great movie,please wait for a better copy.
a robot with propellers
you have to be kiding me this movie is way to long and has very little action. a much better guillotine movie is " fatal flying guillotine" buy that one instead and enjoy.
