Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Death Duel, also known as The Peerless Swordsman, is a 1977 Wuxia film from Shaw Brothers directed by Chor Yuen, based on Gu-long's martial arts epic novel of the same name, starring Derek Yee Tung-sing, the half-brother of David Chiang, in his feature film debut.In the martial arts world, a legendary warrior known as the Third Master has abandoned his clan after earning the title of "The Number One Swordsman in the World". The Third Master, leaving his past behind, have since became a lowly servant and waiter in a whorehouse, but challengers from everywhere are looking for him, hoping to kill the Third Master and earn the number one title for themselves. Among those being Yen Shi-san, currently the second greatest warrior in the world, who will stop at nothing to challenge the Third Master to a Death Duel.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Derek Yee notably earns himself the Best Actor Awards for Hong Kong films in 1977, and would subsequently star in numerous wuxia epics for Shaw Brothers in the 80s. By the 90s, he shifted his career to directing instead, and nowadays he's better known as a director instead of an actor.NOT to be confused with Duel to the Death or the obscure 1992 Sega Genesis game Death Duel.

The "Mad Brother" of the Mu-yung family, Mu-yung Chien-lung, is played by David Chiang. He's in the movie for a few minutes, and doesn't have even a single line of dialogue.

Anti-Villain: Yen Shih-san, due to his noble methods of seeking challenges and playing fair in combat compared to most other challengers seeking Third Master Chi.
