The Final Master
#1
'Hao bingqi' - its a line towards the end of the film that means 'good cold arms.'  This is a wonderful wuxia tale of duels, betrayal and martial etiquette set in Tianjin around the ROC period. Lush costumes and ornate sets with a funky overplayed soundtrack, but a decent plot parsed by nice weapon fights. Lots of Push knives - like push hands but with blades. The final alley gauntlet is great fun. Not too sanguineous and a tad over sentimental, but very enjoyable. Wuxia films are really classy now.  

Netflixable & DOOM recommended.
