Shaw Brothers cult classic - The Flying Guillotine!

Today’s episode spotlights the 1975 Shaw Brothers cult classic, The Flying Guillotine! This is one of the studio's most bizarre and unforgettable Kung Fu movies—it doesn’t always make logical sense, but it is incredibly fun to watch. Set during the Qing Dynasty, the paranoid Yongzheng Emperor orders his chief spy to create a stealthy weapon to eliminate rebels, leading to the birth of the titular Flying Guillotine: a lethal, chain-linked device that decapitates victims. Directed by prolific Shaw Brothers director Ho Meng Hua (known for Oily Maniac and The Mighty Peking Man), the movie stars Chen Kuan Tai and Wang Yu. It features one of the most inventive weapons in cinema history, even garnering mainstream attention when Mythbusters tested its feasibility on S9E17. While the film is light on traditional, complex hand-to-hand combat, it delivers on outrageous decapitations. If you love bizarre cult cinema, high-stakes drama, and out-of-this-world killer weapons, this is the movie for you.
