Overview
During China’s 1920s Republican Period, warlords carve out personal fiefdoms across the country and impose self-serving laws with the barrel of a gun. Into this anarchy rides a masked feminine Zorro, nom de guerre Violet, to do battle, right wrongs and foment rebellion against the most corrupt and brutal warlord of all, Tung Ta-Chou. Unbeknownst to Tung, however, Violet is his own daughter. Tung orders his psycho enforcer Master Wu to track down and dispose of this pesky rebel queen. Meanwhile, Violet begins a flirtation with an attractive stranger who comes to town with the other half of a treasure map held by Tung. Ultimately, Master Wu betrays the warlord on the lure of the complete treasure map, enabling Violet and the stranger to apprehend Master Wu and beat the warlord at his own game.

Viewing Notes
I own this as a German media book release under the title KUNG FU ZOMBIES, but apparently it has many different titles it was released under. A pretty standard Taiwanese kung fu movie but the dubbing made it unintentionally hilarious at times. It has a slight tinge of horror to it in that the bad guy uses a poisoned weapon that horribly disfigures and kills whomever gets cut or stabbed with it, but we’re only treated to that happening twice so it’s not much of a factor.
But hey, Angela Mao and Lo Lieh!
