Kid with the Golden Arm (original title: 金臂童, pinyin: Jīn bì tóng) is a 1979 Shaw Brothers kung fu film directed by Chang Cheh and produced by Mona Fong.
The government asks Yang Hu Yun (Sun Chien) to escort a cargo of gold to a famine stricken area.
To protect the gold, Yang hires swordsman Li Chin Ming (Wei Pai), Ming's girlfriend Miss Leng Feng (Helen Poon), Long Axe Yang Jiu (Shu Pei Sun), Short Axe Fang Shih (Chiang Sheng), and drunken master Agent Hai Tao (Kuo Chui).
Before meeting with Yang, Leng encounters Iron Robe; Hai Tao appears and defeats her attackers, though he disappears once again before she can thank him.
When Leng meets with Ming at a winery, the employees, which are Silver Spear, Brass Head, and several Chi Sha gang members in disguise, attack them.
As Leng protests, the heat revives and cures Ming, though he is ungrateful and annoyed to owe his life to Hai Tao.
Two of Yang's men die as they attempt to steal the gold, making Hai Tao suspicious, as he reasons the Chi Sha gang could not foresee this.
In the morning, he leaves for another town, where he confronts Silver Spear, who is confused when Hai Tao questions him about poisoning the gold.
In their review, they wrote, "Honestly, Kid With the Golden Arm isn't particularly complex or even all that original, but it's pure, unadulterated old-school kung fu fun.
"[1] Stan Hall of The Oregonian called it a "surreal, action-packed period piece" with impressive fights, highlighting Silver Spear's final battle.
