Old kung-fu or wu xia flick(maybe).Trouble is I do not remember anything about plot,who starred etc..just 2 lines henchman is asking mercy from hero and says "save me I have 80 years old grandmother to take care of"..hero kills him and says "why always 80,not 79"...
Any help will be appreciated.

Damn! I just saw this within the last two months or so, and I remember laughing really hard at that line. If I can't remember which one is was, it'll drive me crazy(er)! :l
Could it be from... Which Ti Lung movie is it where he's a loner, and when the guys attack him he pitches one dude into a fire? Later he stops a wagon that's rolled onto a little kid. Was it in that?
I just remembered the movie I was talking about is KING EAGLE, but I'm not 100% it's the one you're talking about. But I'm almost certain it was a Shaw Brothers film that had that line in it.

Watched this reasonably recently too, but can't quite place it now - don't remember it being King Eagle (haven't watched that for a while, sure I saw this more recently, but could be wrong), I'm remembering David Chiang saying it for some reason... to some guy at swordpoint against the side of a cart, or something... Man, my short term memory is foggy. This one's bothering me now.

You are likely correct itīs Shaw film.I have not seen many that many indie movies in last few years...
Been staring my collection but can`t figure out what it could be.Leave obvious out,there is still dozens possibilities and far too lazy to start searching it...
I thought it could be from Jimmy Wang Yu movie but after reconsider even as Jimmy does not show any mercy,he neither drop lines like those during business:monkey10

I got a feeling it's Invincible Fist... possibly, without checking.

Nope. I haven't watched this yet, and I definitely remember this line in something I just saw because it made me laugh really hard. :l

Still no hit?Assuming Peringaten is right it`s Chiang who says that line I guess it has to be in have sword will travel,murder plot or wandering swordsman.Unfortunately my friend borrowed those I cannot check it out and it takes few weeks before I get them back:(.

Aha! The reason I couldn't place it is because I haven't seen THE WANDERING SWORDSMAN. But I did see the trailer for it while I was on my Shaw kick at the time! No wonder I knew I saw it, but couldn't place the film.
Thanks Kwok Choi, that was really driving me nuts.

I'm sure this line is said in more than one movie, TBH I don't remember it used in Wandering Swordsman but my sketchy memory seems to recall an indie film using this line as well.
