[Hide] (123.9KB, 1080x608) I'm trying to compile a list of different kung fu movie "fads" I suppose you would call them. The Bronzemen sequence wasn't that hard but I'm running into difficulty cataloguing all the movies featuring guillotines.
Trying to list all the Brucesploitation is probably a near impossibility.
Bronzemen
>18 Bronzemen
>Return of the 18 Bronzemen
>The Blazing Temple
>18 Bronze Girls of Shaolin
>18 Shaolin Golden Boys
>Rivals of Silver Fox
>The Best of Shaolin Kung Fu
>Bruce and the Shaolin Bronzemen
<18 Gold Destroyers (Godfrey Ho)
(The two bolded movies are in direct continuity with each other, where as the rest are basically conceptual "sequels" that just feature bronze metallic coated martial artists.
Flying Guillotine
>The Flying Guillotine
>Palace Carnage
>Fatal Flying Guillotines
>One Armed Boxer
>Master of the Flying Guillotine
>The Guillotines
(This is the loose Flying Guillotine sequence. One Armed Boxer doesn't feature a guillotine but it is a direct prequel to Master so I'm including it. The Guillotines is either a remake or it's suppose to be basically Ɐ Flying Guillotine)
movies featuring guillotine like weapons
>Bandits, Prostitutes, and Silver
>The Golden Mask? (not sure about if this one should count)
>Fourth Madam Lu Thrashes the Flying Guillotine (Not actually seen it but it is the earliest movie listed on IMDB tagged with "flying guillotine", which surprised me because I thought the concept was largely created whole cloth for The Flying Guillotine.)

This is all I've got so far. Thankfully I've discovered, just as I'm typing this up in fact, that a hkdmb page on flying guillotines exists. I'm still going to have to at minimum search out and skim through those movies to see if it's accurately tagged or if it's notable enough to include.
