(American title)
Ah, finally I get to see Angela Mao in action. She is legendary of course
as one of the first and best of the female fighters. After seeing this film,
I can certainly see her appeal. She is very attractive and yet has a tough,
determined look about her. I will certainly be trying to track down more
of her films. In this one, Angela comes to town looking for
Ling Shou Hou (Chang Yi), the man who three years ago deserted and dishonored
her sister. In the meantime though, Ling has turned his life around and is
seeking revenge of his own against some really villainous types.
So Angela goes into the town’s casino and
proceeds to clean them out. On her way out the door she is stopped by one
of the bad guy’s henchman. He looks vaguely familiar . . . it’s … yes a very
young Sammo Hung. Angela proceeds to kick Sammo and his gang all over the
casino. Something she does later in the film as well.
She soon tracks down Ling, but he begs her
to let him live one more day so that he can complete his own revenge. She
lets him go, but promises to kill him later.
Pai Ying the real bad guy in this one and
shows up in a number of her films.
Pretty good film with a lot of fighting.
The fighting scenes are divided equally between Angela and those of Chang
Yi.
