The Magnificent Swordsman is a 1968 Shaw Brothers movie, loosely based on the Yojimbo formula, where the plot revolves around a lone, wandering warrior entering a town besieged by two bandit gangs.Jiang Dan Feng is a drifter and wandering warrior, travelling from one town to another vanquishing evil men everywhere he goes. After killing a legion of bandits attempting to rob him, the last bandit, in his dying words, begs Jiang for one last request: to deliver his letter to his only surviving relative, his beloved sister Xiu xiu, who lives a village away. Jiang agrees, but upon his arrival, Jiang discovers said village to be occupied by a powerful bandit gang, led by the ruthless Lord Huang. And himself being a swordsman, Jiang is not welcomed by the locals... | |

One-Man Army | |
| The Magnificent Swordsman / int_9e943076 | comment |
One-Man Army: Jiang Dan Feng can take names with ease with his expert swordsmanship, killing armies of bandits single-handedly. The final battle is just a 12-minute sequence of Jiang killing as many of Bandit Lord Huang's mooks as he can before he finally gets overpowered by Huang. | |

Chronic Hero Syndrome | |
| The Magnificent Swordsman / int_ab68c5cc | comment |
Chronic Hero Syndrome: Jiang Dan Feng had no reason to fulfil the last wish of a villain who tried to rob him, other than feeling guilty over killing him. It's part of his schtick for being a noble swordsman, after all. | |

| The Magnificent Swordsman / int_d6618014 | comment |
Last Request: What ultimately kicks off the plot of the film, when a dying bandit mook begs for Jiang Dan Feng to deliver a pouch containing his last letter to his sister, before he succumbs. Feeling the guilt over killing him (despite being an act of self-defense) Jiang Dan Feng obliged to his wishes. | |
