Not once through-out the movie does anyone call him out for his dickery.

''The New One-Armed Swordsman'' is a 1971 [[{{wuxia}} wuxia movie]] starring Creator/DavidChiang as the titular OneArmedWarrior. This is the first ''Film/OneArmedSwordsman'' movie not to star Creator/JimmyWangYu, who played Fang Kang in the previous movies: ''One-Armed Swordsman'', ''Film/ReturnOfTheOneArmedSwordsman'', and ''Film/ZatoichiMeetsTheOneArmedSwordsman''.
Lei Li is a young warrior who duels Hero Fung under one condition: the loser has to chop off his right arm. Lei loses and willingly mutiliates his right arm. Three years later, Lei has adapted to using his left hand and is now ready to take on Hero Fung again.
----
!!Tropes applying to The New One-Armed Swordsman:
* {{Almighty Janitor}}: Lei Li three years after losing his arm, becomes the teaboy in a teahouse.
* CoolOldGuy: Hero Fung, who, while the {{Big Bad}}, is able to put up a hell of a good fight towards Lei in both their first and last battles.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: Feng Cheng-Chung, who many people have also felt takes up the role of the protagonist in the middle of the film before his death.
* EliteMook: Fung's acolytes, a dozen of his "best students and trainees", whom are clad entirely in black and red and are frequently shown following Fung.

* MookLieutenant: The four generals of Tiger Hall, whom are often seen leading the lesser mooks around and putting up a much better fight than the regular mooks. One of them gets killed by Feng during the night ambush to kidnap Pao Chiao, and later in the climax when Lei-li storms the Tiger Hall all by himself, he battles the remaining three generals and kills '''all''' of them, one at a time.
* OneHitKill: The CurbStompBattle in the beginning and the one in the end have Lei kill every single minion with one blow.
* OneManArmy: Lei-li in the finale, where his bodycount skyrockets as he massacres his way through a graveyard, pagoda, bridge and the Tiger Hall's mansion, leaving behind a field of dead bodies from the Tiger Hall's mansion.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After Lei-li kills off Chief Chan, the leader of Tiger Hall, the remaining 15 or so mooks quickly scrams. Wise move, since they just witnessed Lei-li kill more than 80 of their members and [[KnowWhenToFoldEm they'll very likely fare no better than their dead comrades]].
* TakeItToTheBridge: The climax have an extended battle scene on a bridge, where Lei fights off wave after wave of enemies while making his way across. He later confronts (and defeats) Fung on that very same bridge.
* TimeSkip: After Lei impales his mutilated arm to a tree in the forest, we see the banners and arm, then the next shot is still in the area three years later, but we see it stormy and the arm now decomposed to the point where it's just bone. It's only through dialogue later on that we discover three years have passed.
