my friends were talkin about a movie last night that I had never seen. But they couldn't remember the name of it so I thought I'd try and find it. But its a little vague. All I know about it is theirs some old guy and his weapon is a paper lantern. He throws it out and it lands on someones head and he pulls their head off or something. That ring any bells for anyone? Its an old kung fu flick.

I believe that it's called Master of the Flying Guillotine and there's a sequal also.

"The One Armed Boxer vs. the Flying Guillotine" is one of the most entertaining Kung-Fu flicks i've ever seen, I couldn't look away my eyes were glued to the screen.

It's over-the-top and entertaining but the fight scenes come off as a little hokey. I personally wouldn't rank it up there as one of the greatest offerings of the genre.

Yeah it's Master of the Flying' and Knight is right about the fight scenes.
I wish I could catch the hilarious Prince of the Sun again. Shit had me laughing my ass off when I was a kid.
One of the better reviews for it at IMDB.
'Funniest film I've seen in a while'
"Prince of the Sun has to be one of the funniest films I've seen in a while. From the horrendous special effects, to the horribly done attempts at comedy ("I'm invisible, you can't see me!"), to how everyone has a quaint grasp of the Queen's English despite never quite matching the mouth movements...it's silly, and it's a pity MST3K never got a hold of this thing.
I can't rate it a one. Oh no. It's too entertaining for that. But don't expect it to win any awards, unless they have "Raspberry" somewhere in the title. Prince of the Sun is so bad, it gives a whole new meaning to trash cinema - so rent it if you can! "
