Viewing Notes

Lily Ho is great as the title character, out for revenge against the four scumbags who sexually assaulted and killed her older sister. Skillful fight choreography and solid directing with some non-formulaic shots bumps this up a bit. The director, Kao Pao-shu, was the rare female director working for Shaw Brothers that directed wuxia films. This was her first outing as a director. She was primarily an actor but has about eleven directing credits from 1971 to 1981.
