Believing the princess to be cursed, the king then orders to have her set adrift down a river, where she is then discovered by a group of dwarves who raised her to adulthood. 17 years later, the Princess fell in love with a prince who then takes her back to his kingdom, just as the king's evil advisor, who worships a demon in exchange for sorcery powers, plots to usurp the throne. There's also a cyclops, a nine-headed dragon, a group of living statues, a fairy, a genie in a silver box, and the talking skeleton of a deceased warrior whom the prince must seek for advice during his adventure.Nope, this movie doesn't make any attempt to explain any of these.The Thrilling Sword is a 1981 Taiwanese Heroic Fantasy film directed by Cheung San-Yee. Made during the boom of fantasy films in the early 1980s, the film combines elements from Snow White, classic Wuxia, wireworks and high-flying action from Shaw Brothers (appropriately enough, the film's villain is portrayed by Shaw Brothers alumni Chang Yi, during that part of his career where he started taking antagonistic roles) with enough random plot twists and Mind Screw to make audiences question their sanity. Accompanied by trippy-as-hell visual effects (due to the film's limited budget and slapping everything together in the last minute in an attempt to cash in on the 80s fantasy craze), the movie...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })... is awesome. Yes, really.

Arch-Enemy: Not only is Lord Hsieh is this to Prince Jun, but also to the Magic Master, because he tricked and imprisoned the Magic Master in a silver box centuries ago.

Attack Its Weak Point: For the Four Immortals, they are Nigh-Invulnerable to all of the Prince's attacks except for one specific weak spot on each. In order, the armpit, the waist, the mouth and for their leader, the anus.

And I Must Scream: The Magic Master is trapped in an enchanted silver box by Lord Hsieh 500 years ago. At the end of the movie, karma kicks in, with Lord Hsieh and Lady Gi ending up sealed in that same silver box, which the Magic Master ensuring it will never be re-opened this time.

Ass Shove: This is the only vulnerable weak spot of the final immortal, which the Prince Jun's fairy companion couldn't immediately spot until the Immortal bends over in an attempt to attack the Prince.
