n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

As an early Taiwanese kung fu film, A GIRL CALLED TIGRESS isn't too bad at all. Polly Shang Kwan headlines the cast and is at her physical prime in this one. She plays a dual role here as two sisters, one of whom has been kidnapped by persons unknown; the fighting Polly goes searching for her sister and teams up with a youthful Kam Kong before he was typecast as a villain in kung fu movies. Inevitably their hunt leads them up against a criminal gang busy buying up land and terrorising everybody around.The real villain is, of course, Yasuaki Kurata, which is a given as soon as you see his name featured in the cast list. Kurata is on strong form too and the good news is that A GIRL CALLED TIGRESS has plenty of action to see it through. It needs to have, given that the plot is very straightforward and not really in-depth enough to sustain a feature film, which is why the running time on this one is so short.
