Disc 2 of this Arrow Video Shawscope box set has two more One-Armed Swordsman films, Return of the One Armed Swordsman (1969) and New One-Armed Swordsman (1971).

Return of the One-Armed Swordsman –
This sequel carries on where the original film finished with one armed swordsman Fang Gang now living a peaceful farming life with his wife. But that does not last as the Eight Sword Kings challenge the masters of all rival schools to take over the martial arts community.
The Eight Kings deliver an ultimatum; all the rival schools’ students must cut off their sword arms and surrender the severed limbs to the Eight Kings, or the students’ beloved teachers will all die. They turn to Fang Gang for help but he tells them that he is now retired from the martial world.
But after some fateful events and the kidnapping of his wife, he decides again to pick up his sword and fight for justice.
This sequel is a lot more enjoyable than the original, it has much more action, which is better choreographed and a lot more blood and gore. The weapons on display are varied and the sword action does not stop throughout the entire film.

The New One-Armed Swordsman –
By 1971 Jimmy Wang Yu had left the Shaw studio and now David Chiang was asked to take up the role of a new One-armed swordsman Lei Lei in an unrelated sequel.
Chiang portrays a proud and cocky swordsman who is tricked into severing his own arm after losing to a corrupt rival. Humbled, he hides in an inn, but the death of his blood brother forces him to pick up his blade once again to seek revenge.
I think, and agree with Tony Rayns in the audio commentary on the first disc, that this is the best film of the three. David Chiang is a better actor than Wang Yu and can show emotional content much more realistically. Ti lung also shines as his blood brother and again the choreography is excellent especially the climactic battle on a bridge.
Both films are sourced from a new 2K remaster and look great, with bold colours and solid blacks. Audio gives you a choice of original Mandarin with English subtitles or the classic English dubs.
Extras are less this time but you do get a brand new audio commentary on Return of the One-Armed Swordsman by critic Samm Deighan and also a new commentary on The New One-Armed Swordsman by martial arts cinema expert Brian Bankston.
You also get a selection of trailers for both films.
Another great disc to add to your Shaw Brothers collection.
