Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Deadly Breaking Sword is a 1979 Shaw Brothers wuxia movie directed by Sun Chung, starring Ti Lung and Alexander Fu Sheng, being the trio's next collaboration after the previous year's The Avenging Eagle, although the film itself is comparatively more light-hearted and comical.The warrior and assassin, Duan Chang-qing (Ti Lung), is known in the martial world as "The Deadly Breaking Sword", because with every challenger he kills, he leaves a fragment broken from his sword in their corpses. So when Duan meets brothel ourtesan Liu Yinxi (Shih Szu) who convince Duan to perform an assassination for her to avenge her fiancée, Duan agrees. But a run-in with local gambler and frequent casino-hanger, the spunky young fighter Xiao Dao, had Xiao tagging along Duan's mission — whether he likes it or not.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Chairman of the Brawl: During his first fight scene in the casino, Xiao Dao, attacked by armed thugs while bare-handed, picks up stools as Improvised Weapons. Either as shields, or as clubs. He ends up destroying three chairs as well as numerous tables in the process.
