#The Flying Guillotine

[chernobog13]

ONE-ARMED BOXER VS. THE FLYING GUILLOTINE (1976), aka MASTER OF THE FLYING GUILLOTINE.

Yet another Jimmy Wang Yu film where he is the one-armed protagonist (he also had a series of One-Armed Swordsman films).

In this one (which I believe is the second One-Armed Boxer flick) he battles fighters from various countries with their own unique styles, including this Plastic Man-wannabe.

Only then does he get to take on the nigh-indefeatable big bad guy, armed with the titular Flying Guillotine (basically a hat box with saw blade teeth on a chain), who's been decapitating people left and right throughout the film.

I consider this to be the best of all the films that I've seen that used the flying guillotine motif.

though after that one argument about how the revolutionaries were all Super Gross And Evil that said Marat never bathed I do feel like. like I got a good idea of the History-Channel-doc level of knowledge here.

"Good morning!"

The External steps from behind a pillar.

Immediately, Khonshu's temple takes on that hint of fecundity: rodents stir in their dens, outside. The air smells of wet earth. The "dunes" of sand blown in over the decades firm beneath them. Yeah, it appears his floor is deciding whether it wants to stay a floor or take a walk on the wild side and join up with the desert.

Shar beams, holding up the big white pumpkin in her arms so he can get a good look. "Look! It matches your color scheme." She glances between the pumpkin at him before wrinkling her nose. "Monochrome as it is." With a little shrug, she 'dances' the huge gourd in front of his face. Dah-dah-dah-dah-dah! Look at it, Khonshu!

"I remembered our little talk about holidays over brunch and decided to stop by a pumpkin patch." Which she now owns. Also, this implies there are more pumpkins waiting.

Dah-dah-dah-dah. Look at the pumpkin!

"Do you want to cut first or shall I?" [externalconceit]

He swears, every time Shar shows up, she gets a bit more bold with decorating his temple. At least the changes seem to undo themselves (with a bit of convincing) once she leaves. While the thought of his temple acting as an oasis for lost travelers is an appealing one, making the air damp and attracting rats didn't quite fit the definition.

In any case, it would seem she'd brought him another offering. (She was smart not to do so right away, or Khonshu would've just eaten it.)

"You are here to carve it?" Khonshu asked, though he didn't really need an answer. Plenty familiar with human customs to know the history of jack-o'-lanterns, back when turnips were the vegetable of choice instead of pumpkins. Despite her immortality, Shar seemed invested in Halloween traditions, between this and her mysterious party.

"Hold it still," Khonshu requested flatly, lifting his staff from the ground, positioning the crescent blade against the top of the pumpkin to lock-in where he needed to aim. Then he reeled back like a baseball bat, and swung.

i'd seen only the first season back when it debuted and i wasn't very involved in the fandom beyond passively reblogging stuff, but there's a whole chapter in maureen ryan's "burn it down" that's dedicated to what happened behind the scenes of sleepy hollow over the years and nicole beharie's treatment on that show and holy shit i didn't realize how bad it was.

«1-5-81, Dayton - The Sherwood had a screen that had a couple of Kung Fu classics with SONNY CHIBA'S DRAGON PRINCESS and MASTER OF THE FLYING GUILLOTINE. On third was Fred Williamson in MEAN JOHNNY BURROWS.»

Chris: Master of the Flying Guillotine is a Japanese action film involving a blind warrior attempting to get revenge using a bizarre weapon that decapitates, noteworthy for music by Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream, but I think I saw a chicken killed for real in this film, which makes it ethically substandard, so Avoid.
