A manual written by the King of the Martial World, containing the ultimate knowledge of becoming a supreme and invincible fighter, has been revealed to the public. To prevent the manual from falling into the wrong hands, the King had it [[DismantledMcGuffin separated into halves]], consisting of odd and even numbered pages; and the Flying Hero Guo Jiou Ru is determined to track down both halves before a ruthless warlord named the King of Hades can retrieve them.

''The Winged Tiger'' is a 1971 Creator/ShawBrothers martial arts film starring Chan Hung-lit.

A manual written by the King of the Martial World, containing the ultimate knowledge of becoming a supreme and invincible fighter, has been revealed to the public. To prevent the manual from falling into the wrong hands, the King had it [[DismantledMcGuffin separated into halves]], consisting of odd and even numbered pages; and the Flying Hero Guo Jiou Ru is determined to track down both halves before a ruthless warlord named the King of Hades can retrieve them.

Creator/DavidChiang, fresh off the height of his career in the critically acclaimed ''Film/Vengeance1970'' and the box office hit ''Film/TheHeroicOnes'', shows up in this film, surprisingly as a bit henchman who opposes the hero, a rarity at that point of his career.

!! Contains Examples of:

* CapeWings: Flying Hero Guo Jiou Ru got his name from the capes built in his robes, which allows him to glide after leaping into the air.
* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: In the final battle, Flying Hero Guo is the only one who wears white, while King of Hades and his mooks all wears black or dark brown. Subverted when Flying Hero Guo duels Golden Face and Jade Face, with all of them wearing white.
* DecoyProtagonist: The film begins with an ActionPrologue featuring the first Winged Tiger, Teng Fei, effortlessly killing a band of challengers, setting him up to be the titular hero. Only that's not the case, shortly afterwards Flying Hero Guo Jiou Ru comes over to challenge him. Soon afterwards, Teng Fei is dead, and Flying Hero Guo is the new Winged Tiger.
* DualWielding: Both Winged Tigers wield twin daggers in their fights, easily taking names every time.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: While the film's prominent characters all have names, they simply go by their nicknames most of the time instead. Not only does this apply to the film's hero, but also to Jade Face Bai Yun-sheng, Iron Hand Zhao Bi, Golden Face Liu Kun and the first Winged Tiger, Teng Fei.
* FakeUltimateMook: Jade Face, played by David Chiang, who gets plenty of screentime, is shown having plenty of authority among the King of Hades' minions, is hyped up to be a dangerous opponent... [[spoiler: and in the final battle, he gets run through the midsection by Flying Hero Guo's sword without putting up much of a fight]].
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[Golden Face Liu Kun and Jade Face Bai Yun-sheng]] by Flying Hero Guo.
* InASingleBound: Another ''wuxia'' film that follows this trope to a T, although this one is justified by Flying Hero Guo having a hidden cape in his golden robes which catches air for him, allowing him to glide after jumping off a great height.
* LightIsNotGood: Played straight with Jade Face, TheDragon, who is dressed in white robes, an albino, and frequently carries a white folding fan.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: The BigBad is called Master Yin, the ''KIng of Hades''.
* ProtagonistTitle: Flying Hero Guo Jiou Ru is the titular Winged Tiger.
* SingleStrokeBattle: The finale when Flying Hero Guo and the King of Hades stares down at each other after a lengthy fight, each holding a sword, and charges ahead. [[spoiler: Flying Hero Guo wins by impaling the King of Hades fatally]].
* SwordCane: One of the King of Hades' henchman, You Ming, uses his walking stick which hides an extendable blade as a weapon in the final battle.
* WhipItGood: The King of Hades uses a whip in the final battle, nearly strangling Flying Hero Guo with it.
* {{Wuxia}}
* YouKillItYouBoughtIt: Flying Hero Guo becomes the new legendary Winged Tiger after killing the former holder of the title.
