Two crippled brothers, one indestructible force. Revenge against all odds.
The Crippled Masters (1979) follows two devoted martial‑arts disciples who are betrayed by their master and brutally mutilated — one losing both arms, the other rendered legless — and cast out to die. As they rediscover each other and undergo rigorous training under a secret teacher, they transform their disabilities into unorthodox fighting strengths and forge a bond of vengeance. This martial-arts exploitation thriller blends raw physicality and grim determination in a striking study of survival, resilience, and brutal retribution.
