From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: The New One-Armed Swordsman is a 1971 Hong Kong wuxia film directed by Chang Cheh and produced by the Shaw Brothers Studio, starring David Chiang. Chiang replaced Jimmy Wang, the star of the two preceding films in the series, The One-Armed Swordsman and Return of the One-Armed Swordsman. More from me now: This is a fun movie, if not quite as epic as the original. The fights are a bit better, since the movies were headed that way. It is mostly swords, with one exception!That would be the three-sectional staff wielded by the villain. It helps that Lau Kar-leung was a strong proponent of said staff. The movie was retitled Triple Irons in the US, though you can see David Chiang in the trailer with only one arm.
