Although there's Flying Guillotines as part of the title of this movie, it has no connections to the original Flying Guillotines (1975) and its sequel Flying Guillotines II (1978). The two originals are masterpieces of kung-fu movie and still stands out as a classic. This is a much inferior copy of the original, and even as a regular kung-fu movie, it's below average.First of all, this movie doesn't have much acting. It's one senseless fight scene after another, and flying guillotine doesn't even play a major part in them. Story is about some Shaolin monks who are tracking down some villains who've took off with a sacred book, and an evil prince who owns part of this book is part of the plot. The same evil prince has plans to lure the monks in and use the flying guillotines on them.There are four movies with Flying Guillotine as part of its title. This in my opinion is of least quality. The design of the flying guillotine in this movie is different from the other three indicating that this movie was produced by a different entity from the other three.The movie has no chemistry asides from being unintentionally funny due to poor production. Best skip this and watch the two originals.

This movie had such a good concept to start with, however, in the end, it all falls apart. Between the evil prince trying to take over China, the son who wants to avenge his mothers death, and the Buddhist temple Monks wanting to stop the evil Shen, this story got very confusing. Believe me when I say that this movie has a few great fight scenes, however, they do NOT make up for the fact that it has such a terrible ending!

Carter Wong plays a noble hero on a quest for a book of healing which leads him seeking ultimate vengeance! The pacing is good in this film and there are a lot of fight scenes to keep the movie going. The flying guillotines look wicked and the main villain has no problems using them. Although the story isn't strong, the action is fun and draws you to the very end (which I felt could've had a sequel).Campy and dark, this is great ol skool kung fu!!

you got your bearded old guy, the laughing bad guy, you know the score, the classic old style kung fu film its got some great kung fu but the special effect that try to be modern don't come off as anything other than pants. This film is uninspiring and if the writers had been as inventive with the plot as they had been with the title, then they could have been onto a classic, as it is, this is just another old style martial arts flick
