 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Supreme Swordsman, also known as The Eagle's Sword, is a 1984 Wuxia film from Shaw Brothers starring Jason Pai Piao and Derek Yee, notable for being one of the studio's last efforts in wuxia cinema, as interest in old-school swordplay fantasy are waning near the mid-80s.Venerable villain actor Jason Pai plays Qin Wu-Xin, a master swordsman who is seeking to build for himself the "Ultimate Shrine of Swords", a shrine made from 100 swords collected from various swordsmen and warriors he had slain in multiple challenges, to establish his dominance in the world of martial arts. With 99 swords in his collection, his last target is the Master Blacksmith Xie, who had given the best weapon to his son, Xie Yan-bei (Derek Yee), a young warrior with potential of becoming the next greatest warrior in existence. Of course, Qin Wu-xin wouldn't allow that.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

 Ambition Is Evil: Qin Wu-Xin is willing to hunt down, and kill 100 of the best swordsmen and warriors in the martial arts world and collect their swords as proof of his superiority, despite those swordsmen having done absolutely nothing to him.

 Cool Sword: There are 99 swords adorning Qin Wu-xin's "Shrine of Swords", each one looking cooler and deadlier than the next. Keep in mind those weapons are retrieved from the numerous victims Qin had slain in swordfights prior to the movie's events. Qin's own weapon also counts, as does Xie's sword.

 Battle Trophy: After killing each swordsman, Qin Wu-Xin will keep their weapons to be added to his collection. His "Shrine of Swords" has 98 of these, and he's seeking the 99th to make his collection "complete".
