A one-armed martial arts master is being stalked by an Imperial assassin, the master of two fighters killed in the previous film. When the One-Armed Boxer is invited to attend a martial arts tournament, his efforts to lay low are unsuccessful, and the assassin soon tracks him down with the help of his three subordinates: a Thai boxer, a yoga master, and a kobojutsu user.

It was in parts funny due to its absurdity. All in all I was, however pretty board; I can see what Quentin Tarantino used for his movie, and he did it to perfection; the original is however not perfect at all.
And it's not because it is a B-Movie; I do enjoy these. But for this movie, the story is weak, the action is somewhat fun, but after watching 20 Minutes of constant fighting, it just get's boring - and out of 93 minutes, we have about 20 minutes of story, and the rest is just fighting, be it for demonstration purposes (beginning), or the tournament (main part), or the final showdowns...
Not my cup of tea. :(
And the funny ideas inbetween are simply just not enough (I did laugh about the Guillotine, or the Yoga Master with his absurd growing arms, and of course the daughter whos fighting move is undressing the opponent :D).
