Bastard Swordsman

In this 1983 Hong Kong wuxia film, "Bastard Swordsman" (also known as Reincarnate Swordsman), a viciously bullied orphan named Yun Fei Yang takes on unpleasant tasks at a formidable kung-fu school, constantly mocked by his peers until he finds solace in the daughter of the resident master. When a swordsman from a rival clan reminds the master of an impending duel, Yun's life is further complicated by the arrival of a wandering swordsman who joins forces with him against their common foe. As Yun navigates this treacherous landscape, he uncovers secrets about his own past and clan's 'Silkworm Technique', transforming himself to take on nearly superhuman foes in a quest for revenge and respect.
