Ling narrates as the daughter of a master sword-maker. She pines after the affection of two workers Ding On and Iron Head, but soon events take a violent turn as rogues start to cause trouble in the local village. Once Ding On discovers who murdered his father he sets off on a quest for revenge, which includes saving Ling, losing his arm and renouncing violence to live a quiet rural life.

Reviews
A whirlwind of blood, dust and psychedelic colour
Tsui Hark's 90s reimagining of the classic Shaw Brothers One-Armed Swordsman series, The Blade is a whirlwind of blood, dust and psychedelic colour. Beneath its rough, brutal appearance lies an uncompromising and technically evolved offering that takes a simple tale of vengeful perseverance and gives it the nihilistic gritty art-house treatment offering new twists on old conventions. Although seemingly frantic, it's never random, Hark brings such meticulous attention to everything it's hard not to be impressed.Was this review helpful to you?
