[[caption-width-right:350:His fist is invincible.]]
''The Invincible Fist'' is a 1969 Creator/ShawBrothers {{Wuxia}} film directed by Chang Cheh, starring Creator/LoLieh and Creator/DavidChiang, notable for being director Chang Cheh's ''last'' collaboration with Lo Lieh, and ''first'' with David Chiang - the latter which will form an "Iron Triangle" with Chang and another veteran badass, Ti Lung, starring together in multiple films for the next 8 years.
Lo Lieh and David Chiang are the brothers Tieh Wu-ching and Tieh Er-lang, a pair of swordsmen and imperial investigators hired to track down a legion of bandits who had stolen a cache of treasure belonging to the government, but their quest is delayed when Tieh Wu-ching falls for a blind girl in a tavern who ends up being the bandit leader's daughter.
----
!!The Invincible Tropers:
* BattleInTheRain: Tieh Wu-ching and Tieh Er-lang gets to fight a legion of bandits in a rain-soaked paddy field, right in the middle of a storm.
* CoDragons: Iron Bat Tso Yin-Chung and Golden Abascus Lee Bu-Lok, two elite martial artists directly serving Ma Wai-jia and providing a tougher Boss fight for the Tieh brothers.
* CombatHandFan: A folding fan is Golden Abacus Lee's preferred weapon, which he used to launch projectiles from his abacus and then slice up challengers.
* DisabledLoveInterest: Tieh Wu-qing ends up falling for the nice, blind serving-girl in the tavern he stays in, where they quickly starts a relationship. Too bad that blind girl turns out to be the daughter of the BigBad Ma Wai-jia.
* EpicFlail: One of the weapons used by the CoDragons, is an edged dart on a wire which can target victims from a great distance away.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Ma Wai-jia, despite being the BigBad bandit leader, does genuinely love his blind daughter and wanted her to be happy. [[spoiler: In the aftermath of his duel where Ma is killed by Tieh Wu-qing, his LastRequest is for Tieh to take care of his daughter]].
* EvilParentsWantGoodKids: Ma Wai-jia deliberately hides the fact that he's a ruthless murderer and bandit leader to his daughter, wanting her to grow up happy and not end up a villain like him.
* ExtremelyShortTimespan: The major events of the film takes place in a single day and night, ending on the following dawn.
* {{Eyedscreen}}: Multiple shots right before big fights tends to focus on the eyes of named characters. NAmely, either the TIeh brothers, the CoDragons or the BigBad.
* ForgottenFallenFriend: [[spoiler: The death of Tieh Er-lang, the younger brother of Tieh Wu-ching]], is quickly swept aside for the final battle. The movie goes on for more than half an hour after his death and isn't further referenced in any way for the rest of the film.
* HypercompetentSidekick: Tieh Er-lang, the hero's younger brother, spends much of the movie playing second fiddle and barely gets any proper character development, but when it comes to fight scenes he's pretty damn good at it. He probably collected a higher onscreen kill-tally than his elder brother due to having a big fight scene in a tavewrn swarming with bandits where he kills almost everyone single-handedly until [[spoiler: he get himself killed by Ma Wai-jia]], and by the time Tieh Wu-qing confronts Ma, the bandit leader barely have any mooks left.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler: David Chiang's Tieh Er-lang is on the receiving end of this, by the metallic tip of Ma Wai-jia's umbrella]].
* ImprobableWeaponUser: How many movies are there featuring an ''abacus'' as a killing weapon? Besides this one?
* InstrumentOfMurder: Southern Geese Peng Yun-chiang, who uses a ''pipa'' as his weapon. The instrument's strings are made of RazorFloss and it contains hidden projectile launchers on it's front.
* MasterSwordsman: Tieh Wu-ching and Tieh Er-lang are both expert sword-fighters capable of taking plenty of names in big fight scenes.
* NonIndicativeTitle: Despite the title, at no point is there a fist fight or martial arts brawl in the entire film. Every action scene here is a SwordFight or otherwise invovles weapons.
* ParasolOfPain: Ma Wai-jia the BigBad uses an umbrella as his preferred weapon. One with a spiked, metallic tip (used to kill off [[spoiler: Er-lang]]) and razor-sharp blades sticking out of its edges.
* ParentsAsPeople: Ma Wai-jia may be a dangerous villain and a bandit leader, but the scenes between him and his blind daughter established that this BigBad is genuinely a good father who wants the best for his only child.
* ParentalObliviousness:
** Inverted with Ma Wai-jia and his blind daughter, the daughter is completely oblivious to the fact that her father is a villainous bandit leader and murderer who is wanted, dead or alive, by the authorities.
** Played straight with Ma Wai-jia not knowing his daughter had fallen in love with his enemy, Tieh Wu-ching, until late in the film.
* SiblingTeam: The two heroes, Tieh Wu-ching TheHero and Tieh Er-lang TheLancer, are brothers.
* SpottingTheThread: After the tavern massacre, Ma Wai-jia and his surviving bandits quickly have the bodies disposed and the floors wiped clean to lure the Tieh brothers into a trap. However, Tieh Wu-ching noticed the blood in between the floor tiles, and quickly responds to an ambush.
