Viewing Notes
Holy smokes this is a fun flick heavy on the action with two terrific female leads in Cheung Ching-Ching and Wu Min-Hsia (in apparently her only film, which is unfortunate). Literally one action sequence after another. Also some crazy wire work for this 1971 movie as well as some wacky weaponry. Really feels like a late 70s / early 80s kung fu film. I have to investigate to see if there is an earlier example of this kind gadgetry on display.
Sadly the streaming version on Amazon Prime is horrendous. Super pixelated viewing on TV. Would be much better on the phone. I’d love to find a home video release with much better PQ.
