  2. Apr 21, 2022 · Jimmy Wang Yu, who in the 1960s, in movies like “The One-Armed Swordsman,” became the biggest star of Asian martial arts cinema until the emergence of Bruce Lee, died on April 5 in Taipei, Taiwan.

    • One-Armed Swordsman (1967) Wang found fame as the eponymous star of Chang Cheh’s 1967 action spectacular, the first local film to top HK$1 million at the Hong Kong box office.
    • Golden Swallow (1968) Praised and condemned in equal measure for its graphic violence, Chang Cheh’s loose sequel to King Hu’s 1966 hit Come Drink With Me was another early box office hit for Wang.

    • Zatoichi meets the One Armed Swordsman (1971) Japanese studio Daiei Film’s Zatoichi franchise had been one of the most prolific of the 1960s, with Shintaro Katsu appearing as the blind samurai more than 20 times.
