I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Wu Ma certainly paid attention working with Chang Cheh at Shaw Brothers and shows his competence in his second movie as director. Helen Ma is the title character and with little or no explanation she fights bandits and takes the loot of precious pearls. Many people are after her and the pearls but the worst is Shirley Wong Sa-Lee.Shirley plays the hot kung fu chick and shows a bit of skin at the dice table in the casino. Did I mention she was hot? She was hot. All around good guy Tang Ching plays the all around good guy here but without any martial arts skills. The plot is needlessly complicated by more people showing up to get the pearls or revenge. The fights are good and the action is plentiful. Overall above average for the year and genre.
