Wiki.

The Fastest Sword (天下第一劍) is a 1968 Shaw Brothers wu xia film directed and written by Pan Lei and starring Liu Ping as the eponymous "Fastest Sword", a possibly unbeatable sword fighter. It is noted for comparisons drawn between it and the Hollywood Western The Gunfighter although such comparisons are exaggerated, its cinematography which is atypical for Hong Kong fight scenes of the time, and a dramatic final fight scene.
