Hsiu Wen

The One-Armed Swordsman (1967):
Plays, in a flashback sequence, the nameless mother of Xiaoman (Lisa Chiao Chiao), who burned the martial arts manual her husband died protecting, then tried to make sure that her daughter wouldn’t fall in love with a swordsman.

Chui Chung-Hok

The One-Armed Swordsman (1967):
Plays one of the Law brothers, the band of ruffians who are employed by Smiling Tiger (Tang Ti) to help kill the disciples of Qi Rufeng (Tien Feng). He’s the only one who differentiates himself from this group, by being the one who speaks, and who has his topknot cut off by Fang Gang (Wang Yu) before he kills them all at the roadside tavern.

Chieh Yuen

The One-Armed Swordsman (1967):
Plays Lu Zhen, a former student of Qi Rufeng (Tien Feng). Traveling to his master’s birthday party with Deng Chong (Cheng Lui) is fatally wounded by the villains, but manages to live long enough to tell Fang Gang (Wang Yu) what’s happening.

Cheng Lui

Square, solid early Shaw Brothers star who appeared in many of their best films in the 60s. He reminds me of a Western actor, but I haven’t been able to figure out which one.

The One-Armed Swordsman (1967):
Plays Deng Chong, apparently the toughest and most-respected of the former students of Qi Rufeng (Tien Feng). Knowing that someone is following him and Lu Zhen (Chieh Yuen) on the way to their master’s birthday, intentionally slows down to let them catch him at the inn, in hopes of learning their identities and tactics. Is the only person besides Qi and Fang Gang (Wang Yu) to put up a fight against the villains, but is ultimately killed when Long-Armed Devil (Yeung Chi-Hing) decides to step in and help his followers (Liu Chia-Liang and Tong Gaai).

Lau Gong
