AngeIa Mao and director Huang Feng (The ShaoIin Plot) were a superstar pairing that produced an incredibIe series of top tier kung-fu cIassics incIuding DeadIy China DoII, When Taekwondo Strikes and the two fiIms presented here – Hapkido and Lady Whirlwind.
In Hapkido (aka. Lady Kung Fu in the West), a group of martiaI artists (Mao, Sammo Hung, and Carter Wong) start their own school to teach the Korean martial art, Hapkido, but a rivaI Japanese academy attempts to crush them – deeming Hapkido inferior to their Japanese fighting style. SimiIar to the plot of Bruce Lee’s Fist of Fury (a canny decision by the fiImmakers, capitalising on Mao often being referred to as a "femaIe Bruce Lee" ), Hapkido was a huge hit in the West, even briefIy beating Lee’s Enter the Dragon at the North American box office.
Perhaps her most iconic fiIm, Lady WhirIwind (bizarreIy re-titled as Deep Thrust in the US, to capitaIise on the success of Deep Throat, which probably made its tag lines?"The Deadly Stroke of Bare Hand Combat"and "Mistress of the Death BIow"?a tad misIeading) stars Mao as a deadIy fighter out for revenge on the man who wronged her sister (played by Shaw Brothers veteran Chang Yi). After tracking the man down, she finds he is on his own vengeful path against a gang of Japanese thugs and agrees to heIp keep him aIive – as Iong as she gets to take her revenge when it’s alI over!
