Viewing Notes

P good “I must avenge my… Sister!!” flick. This would be a good premise to remake even as a modern film: rich prick sexually assaults woman and accidentally kills her so her sister seeks revenge but obtw she was childhood friends with the asshole and expected to marry him under an arranged marriage sitch. This could be done in China, S.Korea, Japan, India, Indonesia etc and be so violent and bloody. This Shaw Production is quite bloody as it is but imagine what they could do now!

Lily Ho Li-Li is a terrific early female action star from the Shaw stable. Wish she had gone one and done more films opposite the big names of the later 70s.
