History Film / OneArmedBoxer

Jimmy Wang-yu stars as Tien Lung, the best martial artist of his school, who out of chivalry, stopped a gang of bullies from the Hook Gang - a rival martial arts school secretly involved with opium dealing and trafficking - from terrorizing a restaurant. In retaliation, Master Chao of the Hook Gang hired the best and most sadistic fighters from Shanghai to go on a killing spree, leaving Tien Lung the sole survivor of his school and losing his arm to a Japanese fighter in the process. After being rescued by a herbalist, Tien swears to avenge his defeat and have the Hook Gang put to justice.
