This kung fu classic from the Shaw Brothers Studio is a departure from their usualmartial arts mayhem because it stars twowomen as the protagonists. that’s both a blessing and a curse. It’s great to see Pei-pei Cheng and Lieh Lo prove that you don’t have to be a guy to kick butt in an action movie, but director Meng Hua Ho is far less successful in proving that a story starring women doesn’t have to have a cheesy romantic subplot to make it ‘feminine.” All is forgiven, however, once the women take their final stand against the bad guys.
