Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Wandering Swordsman is a 1970 Shaw Brothers Wuxia movie directed by Chang Cheh, starring David Chiang, then fresh off Have Sword, Will Travel and now cast in his first starring role as a titular main character.In a plot that's lifted mostly from Yojimbo, David Chiang plays You Xia-er, a Wandering Swordsman who enters a small town occupied by two feuding bandit gangs fighting each other for territorial control. When one of the gangs intend to rob a government convoy carrying treasure passing through the village, You Xia-er decides to infiltrate the gang to seek a chance to destroy both gangs from within.David Chiang will eventually become a household name in martial arts cinema with his next major release, Vengeance! (1970) just a few months later.

Blood Is the New Black: In the climatic final battle, due to having an Agonizing Stomach Wound that is mostly exposed, You Xia-er ends up having most of his body covered in his own blood that continuously flows as he fights.

Conveniently Placed Sharp Thing: Jiang-ning gets captured alive by the bandits and thrown into a cell with her hands tied behind her back, but there just happens to be a half-broken bowl tucked in the bales of hay in her cell which she used to cut her ropes.

Action Girl: Jiang-ning, despite a brief Damsel in Distress moment, isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty and kill a bunch of bandits during the (small) handful of fight scenes she’s involved in.
