The Flying Killer (1967)

First Scope
Directed by Liu Chun
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Crash Cinema)

A leopard-skin wearing woman and her young daughter live on a jungle island with an old hermit. One day they fish a man out of the lagoon and revive him. In flashbacks we find out how he escaped from bandits living in a "manor" on the mainland. The girls decide to help him rescue his kidnapped sister at the manor. This leads to many complications and sword fights. Eventually, the old hermit turns out to be quite a fighter and has some secrets to reveal. The "flying" is nothing more than obvious wire work, accompanied by an annoying whirring sound.
