Member Yihetuan Posted October 17, 2020 Member Share Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) Not a Shaw film but I like the weapon that the evil eunuch in Dynasty uses against Dorian Tan & David Tang, where he turns his golden armor into a flying bladed weapon. It will be nice when 3D film archive finally releases the 3D blu ray of this movie next year! Edited October 17, 2020 by Yihetuan 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tan Tao Liang used a metal umbrella against that spinning armor. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This right here is my favorite weapon! Have to find a picture... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't remember anyone using an actual statue, but Wang Lung Wei wields the weird, elongated "swimmer" figure looking thing in Ten Tigers of Kwantung... but I think that was already mentioned. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure it's a weird weapon. You can drop a big one to block the way or throw a smaller one at opponents to make them fall or inconvenience them. At most you can use one with a spear or something to impale an opponent I guess. But using it like in the picture posted by @TibetanWhiteCrane seems kinda weird. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Cognoscente Posted May 17, 2021 Member Share Posted May 17, 2021 I like the ring chains that Lau Wing used in The Dragon Missile. It inspired Wong Jing when he wrote the script to Shaolin Prince, and later when he wrote Royal Tramp II. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Chu Liu Hsiang Posted June 16, 2021 Member Share Posted June 16, 2021 Wong Lik wears these connected 7 rings like a bracelet until he uses them against Hsia Yu in TEN TIGERS OF KWANTUNG. I think I saw something similar in another movie. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argh ! I was about to mention this one as a "iron siren" weapon, but you won me... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member FightingFool Posted June 27, 2021 Member Share Posted June 27, 2021 While not that weird, not usual concept either when Ti Lung attachs 2 small memorial marks to pole and defeats villains with his new weapon in the end of Opium and the kung fu master. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Chu Liu Hsiang Posted September 26, 2023 Member Share Posted September 26, 2023 Not a good screenshot but I was too lazy to try again. LION VS LION has two fighters using an overlarge shaving razor (half-hidden) as well as the corresponding overlarge razor strop. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fate of Lo Mang came as surprise. Might be I remember wrong but recall there was night scene with ghosts or something, that felt unnecessary and was bit dire but otherwise fine flick which rarely gets discussed about. should view it again to refresh memory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Lo Meng was the real main character for once in a movie, and his fate made me angry ! Yang Pan Pan's fate as well ! Yes, there was a kind of haunted house at the end. The scenes were very dark and it was difficult to see something, but it was a enjoying movie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DragonClaws Posted October 21, 2023 Member Share Posted October 21, 2023 As far out and wacky as some of these weapons may appear, not all of them were simply created for the movies. Some are variations of real weapons, while others are exact replicas. Then there are those which were just there to entertain the audiences of the era. I'm by no means a weapons expert when it comes to Martial Arts cinema. However, after looking into the history of Asian weapons, I was surprised to find that their screen counterparts, were not just the creative ideas of the prop team. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard the flying guillotine was actually produced but was not feasible. Imagine if it was. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
