Hey, does anyone remember these two movies? It’s killing me, old channel 5 karate movies late 70’s I guess, Saturday afternoons in New York.
One was where they had this flying guiliteen (sp?), they would throw it on a rope, it would go around the victims head and they’d yank the rope and off with his head.

The other one and my favorite one from a kid was where 3-5 guys went off to different parts of the forest to train, one had a bo staff, one had this contraption where it was a few chain links together with a knife on the end that he’d whip around, then at the end, they all face off against individuals in a one on one fight against whoever they were pissed about, the bo staff I believe fought in the water and swung the staff back and forth to make the water splash around, and I believe it was like 5 deadly venoms, but they would be called something like Earth, Wind, fire, something else and something else.

Third one I need to know, old karate movie channel 5 saturdays back in the late 70's early 80's I guess, I remember monks, and they had these contraptions on their arms where they had buckets of water on each end and had to hold their arms out perpendicular and they couldn't let their arms drop or else the knives that they had on their contraption would cut into their sides and had to climb stairs and dump the buckets of water, that's all I remember on this one but would love to remember the name of the movie.

Can ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE, it’s been killing me.

It is undeniable that Master of the Flying Guillotine is one of the greatest movies ever.

WOW you are THE MAN, to come up with that movie and the scene from YouTube, I am impressed BIGTIME!

O.K. guys, here's the hard par then I guess, to figure out the last movie.
I'm pretty sure 3 guys, they train individually in the forest before they all fight one on one battles against their rivals, one had the bo staff, the other had what I can best describe as roughly 5 metal pieces, about the size of a rule for each one, and linked together with loops so it can swing around, and it had a knife on the end of it, I remember when he was training with it, he'd whip it around and then put it under his foot and the flick it forward and it would go through the bamboo tree or what not.

I am trying to remember, was SO LONG AGO about the last guy, could have been 5 guys, I'm thinking it might have been just 3 guys though.
Can't think of the weapon the last guy used.
The bo staff guy during the fight in which they fought what I believe was a small stream with a couple inches of water and he swuung the staff left and right and made the water come up like a wave, and I am 99.9% sure they all had different parts of earthor what not, like one was called earth, the other wind, and the other water, or something along those lines, it's the last and only movie in my life I am trying to figure out from my childhood memories, if ANYONE can remember this I'd love it.

Typo, the weapon was a metal like contraption with about 4-5 pieces ofmetal the size of a RULER on each one, was about 5' long the overall weapon with a straight knife blade on the end of it.

I think I found the weapon, it's called a CHAIN WHIP that comes in 3-5-7-9 chain linked pieces of steel with what I thought was a knife on the end, but it's like a spear if that helps anyone out.
