Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Dragon Missile is a 1976 Martial Arts Movie produced by Shaw Brothers, directed by Ho Meng-hwa (of Flying Guillotine fame) starring Anthony Lau-wing and Lo Lieh.A ruthless tyrant in the late Qin Dynasty, Lord Qin Quan, is diagnosed with a deadly disease (called 100 Birds Worshiping the Phoenix, what?) which will claim his life in seven days. Lord Qin decides to send his personal assassin and champion hitman, Sima Jun (Lo Lieh) to locate the herb, but the only person with knowledge of where the herb is grown is a herbalist named Tieh Er-long who is reluctant to save a brutal dictator and tyrant.It is worth noting that the movie is released on the very same day as Master of the Flying Guillotine, directed by and starring Shaw Brothers' previous megastar, Jimmy Wang Yu, who had jumped ship and started his own production company, and yes, this film is pretty much Shaw Brothers' attempts to steal business from their former star. It... didn't work.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Idiot Ball | |
| The Dragon Missile / int_7286e96d | comment |
Idiot Ball: Fang Song, after subduing Sima Jun, ties him right up and proceeds to flee on his horse… without bothering to remove the titular dragon missiles, which are still strapped to Sima Jun’s back. Sure enough, a few seconds later Sima Jun has freed himself, where he then reaches for the missiles and uses them to remove Fang Song’s arm. The true Big Bad of the film, Lord Qin, grabs the villainous version when he decides to double cross Sima Jun, who is on his way to retrieve the herb that can cure Lord Qin of his disease… before Sima Jun can return to the Lord’s mansion. Ultimately Sima Jun ends up fleeing and dying at the end of the film, and with nobody else capable of retrieving the herb for him within the seven-day limit, Lord Qin is doomed to die slowly and painfully of his infection. | |
