 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Eunuch is a 1971 Shaw Brothers martial arts movie starring Chung Wa and Lisa Chiao, and long-time villain actor Jason Pai as the titular character.Lord Kuei Teh Hai, an Imperial Eunuch bestowed full authority by the court, intends to usurp the throne and eliminate every member of the ruling family that potentially gets in his way. A young prince, Zhu-jin (Chung Wa) finds himself targeted for death by Lord Kuei and his soldiers, and must team up with the righteous swordswoman Yen Yen (Lisa) to defeat Lord Kuei.Somewhat unusual for a movie of its type, for most of the running time the film is told from the eponymous eunuch's perspective, to the point where he's a Villain Protagonist and central character for the audience to follow.

 Cool Old Guy: Master Man, the Badass Teacher to Zhu-jin and Madam Kun-erh, who provides a Secret Test of Character later in the film. Both of them are elderly, but capable of kicking plenty of ass and fighting faceless mooks.
