Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Assassin is a 1967 martial arts epic from Shaw Brothers, starring Jimmy Wang Yu, Lisa Chiao, Tien Feng and directed by Chang Cheh, who in the very same year collaborated with Wang Yu and Lisa Chiao in One-Armed Swordsman.A historical epic set in the twilight of the Ming Dynasty, Wang-yu plays Nie-zheng, a rebel leader and former warrior betrayed by a rival, where he ends up renouncing his past as a killer to live the rest of his life with his lover, Xia-ying. But when the past catches up with him, Nie-zheng - despite Xia-ying's pleas - decides to rejoin his former rebel legion to assassinate the Han Emperor and put an end to an age of tyranny, despite knowing he very well wouldn't live to see the aftermath of his success.If One-Armed Swordsman is the film that establish Jimmy as a megastar, then The Assassin would be the film that typecasts Jimmy as a nigh-invincible, indestructible killing machine of martial arts cinema. This movie, and Golden Swallow, are the first two (of maybe a dozen) movies where Jimmy clearly kills more than a hundred people onscreen, making him the indisputable badass of 70s wuxia cinema.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Better to Die than Be Killed | |
| The Assassin (1967) / int_99298c71 | comment |
Better to Die than Be Killed: After killing the Emperor and finding himself surrounded by scores and scores of Imperial guards, intending to capture him alive and interrogate him to uncover the La Résistance leaders' hideout, Nie-zheng instead opts to commit Seppuku. He managed to kill a dozen more guards before he finally expires to his own self-inflicted injury. | |
