Get ready for heads to fly this August when Visual Vengeance releases the 1977 kung fu gem Fatal Flying Guillotine on Special Collector’s Blu-Ray!

Deep in the forbidding Valley of No Return, a reclusive master, driven to madness by his own obsessive training, perfects a nightmarish weapon – the “Lightning Strike,” a savage evolution of the flying guillotine with twin, whirling blades designed for maximum carnage. Any intruder who dares cross into his domain faces instant decapitation with ruthless precision. But when a vengeance-driven fighter sets his sights on the valley, seeking justice for his mother’s death, he must confront both the master’s deadly invention and the head-chopping chaos it leaves in its wake.

Carter Wong, Chan Sing, and Chan Siu-Pang star in the film, co-written and directed by Raymond Lui Shing-Gung.
