Talk:Master of the Flying Guillotine

Nine Inch Nails / Closer
I did not write the text above, ie the section with the headline "Stupidity", but I did want to ask if there's a reference pertaining to Nine Inch Nails borrowing the music for the track "Closer." When I saw the film, the soundtrack really reminded me of Closer, but I had no idea they borrowed it. References? tharsaile 04:28, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Liu Chia Yung isn't Liu Chia Liang
Liu Chia Yung (Lau Kar Wing) was the choreographer of this film, not Liu Chia Liang (Lau Kar Leung).

They are real life brothers, but please correct the info, and also the links and info for this film on Lau Kar Leung's page.

Cheers.

Trivia section
I'm moving this to the talk page until sources can be found. The information has sat at the article without a single reference since even before the 2009 tag was placed on it:

Influence/Trivia


 * Master of the Flying Guillotine is considered a classic martial arts movie and has influenced many films of the genre that followed.


 * It was paid homage in Quentin Tarantino's film Kill Bill, which briefly used the film's droning theme music, an excerpt of the song "Super 16" by Neu!, during the House of Blue Leaves sequence.


 * The Street Fighter character Dhalsim's abilities also resemble those of an Indian fighter that appears in the film, with both characters using a yoga-based fighting style and having an unnatural ability to extend their limbs to attack.


 * The band From First to Last references this movie on their album Dear Diary, My Teen Angst Has a Body Count, titling a song "The One Armed Boxer vs. The Flying Guillotine."


 * The album Master of the Flying Guillotine, released by Jumpsteady in 2005 features sound selections from the film. The main title track was featured in the cult film Mad Cowgirl.


 * In the video game Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura, it is possible to find a weapon similar to that of the flying guillotine. When the player enters the location he finds himself in front of the master while he is decapitating a chicken, and the phrase "I dont care who he was" is heard (a footing from the actual film). If defeated, the player can loot the body and get an Aerial Decapitator, identical to the Flying guillotine from the movie.


 * Also The Boondocks tv show had one of Stinkmeaner's crew use a weapon very similar to the flying guillotine. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 18:24, 28 July 2010 (UTC)


 * I can cite the reference to Arcanum. Here is a link detailing the area where the Old Blind Master is found. And here is a link detailing the Aerial Decapitator weapon itself. (It's at the very top of the list.) I can't find a screenshot of the weapon "equipped", but it looks just like the Flying Guillotine in it's "armed/hat" position. predcon (talk) 23:22, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
 * To say that a weapon in a movie is "similar" to a weapon in a video game is still trivia that should not be included in the article. If the weapon in Arcanum is actually based on the weapon in MotFG, that's not trivia, but we would need a reliable source to verify such a claim. Doniago (talk) 14:01, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Like I said, the appearance of the weapon and some sounds were ripped straight out of the movie. I just gave you a link to a verifiable source. predcon (talk) 12:33, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
