YMMV / The Sword of Swords

• Complete Monster: Fang Shih-Hsiung starts off by regularly bullying hero Lin Jen-shiau, but turns out to have ulterior motives to claim the titular powerful sword for his own selfish purposes. In the aftermath of a duel with Lin for the Sword's ownership, Fang pretends to accept defeat, only to turn around, steal the sword instead and attempt to hold his mentor, Master Mui, as a hostage. Returning later with a legion of bandits, Fang has Master Mui killed; personally executes Master Mui's wife right in front of Lin; and later forces Lin and his wife to go on the run to protect the Sword from falling into the wrong hands. Fang eventually abducts Bai-feng; has Lin blinded via darts thrown into his eyes and left for dead with his baby in the wilderness; and upon finding out Lin is still alive, has his henchmen kidnap numerous innocent villagers—including several children—to be used as human shields and tricks Lin into slaughtering all his friends, while Fang watches gleefully with a sadistic, satisfied smile on his face.
• Moral Event Horizon: When Fang and his minions kidnaps multiple innocent villagers and tricks Lin into killing them while blind.
• The Woobie: Lin Jen-shiau is probably the woobiest character ever played by Wang Yu. The amount of crap he sat through for the entirety of this film is astounding.
