Viewing Notes
From the director of SNAKE AND CRANE ARTS OF SHAOLIN. I watched what was available on Youtube which is a 16x9 pan and scan from VHS, dubbed. Pretty dodgy quality at times but I doubt the various DVD versions are any better.
This is one of only two movies that Gam Fung-Ling (Chin Fung-Ling) appears in, but she does a capable job in the title role. This is pretty goofy at times, especially at the beginning. The final battle is pretty great though. I’d love to see a good quality print of this in its original language.
Weird to see Lo Lieh show up in a small role as an assassin.
