 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Iron Buddha is a 1970 Shaw Brothers wuxia film starring Ling Yun.When Xiao Tian-zhun, a murderer and rapist, is caught red-handed in the act by Master Liu Peng, a benevolent martial arts school leader who knew Xiao's father, Xiao promised he will turn over a new leaf if Master Liu accepts him as a student and teach him new skills in kung fu, for him to serve the Imperial Court. Due to owing a favour to Xiao's father, Master Liu accepts Xiao Tian-zhun's request.Turns out that he shouldn't. Three years later, Xiao Tian-zhun reveals his true colours as he intends to use his newly-attained skills in martial arts to rob, pillage, rape, and commit all sorts of atrocities, one of the first things he did which is to commit a complete massacre of Master Liu's school and family. And it's up to Master Liu's best disciple, Luo Han - a revered swordsman known as the Iron Buddha, returning from a quest of his own, to stop Xiao Tian-zhun.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Described by its director as Shaw Brothers' attempt to reconstruct the "Heroic Swordsman" wuxia archetype, for once with the spotlight on the opposing side, this film explores how attaining ultimate power in the jiang hu can bring out the true, dark nature in the blackest of hearts...

 Carved Mark: At the start of the film, in order to remind Xiao Tian-zhun, an arrested rapist who promised he will change himself for the better, that he will be a better man, Master Liu then carves a cross-shaped mark on Xiao's shoulder. This ends up backfiring when Xiao, upon revealing his true nature, then kills Master Liu in an insanely brutal manner by hacking twenty cross-shaped scars all over Liu's body, torso, and face.
