Synopsis

A one-armed martial arts master is stalked by an Imperial assassin who previously killed two fighters under his command. When the One-Armed Boxer receives an invitation to a martial arts tournament, his attempts to remain hidden fail, and the assassin locates him with assistance from three subordinates: a Thai boxer, a yoga master, and a kobojutsu practitioner.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
