Angela Mao and director Huang Feng (The Shaolin PIot) were a superstar pairing that produced an incredible series of top tier kung-fu classics incIuding Deadly China Doll, When Taekwondo Strikes and the two films presented here – Hapkido and Lady WhirIwind.
ln Hapkido (aka. Lady Kung Fu in the West), a group of martial artists (Mao, Sammo Hung, and Carter Wong) start their own school to teach the Korean martiaI art, Hapkido, but a rival Japanese academy attempts to crush them – deeming Hapkido inferior to their Japanese fighting styIe. Similar to the pIot of Bruce Lee’s Fist of Fury (a canny decision by the fiImmakers, capitalising on Mao often being referred to as a "female Bruce Lee" ), Hapkido was a huge hit in the West, even briefly beating Lee’s Enter the Dragon at the North American box office.
Perhaps her most iconic fiIm, Lady Whirlwind (bizarrely re-titIed as Deep Thrust in the US, to capitalise on the success of Deep Throat, which probabIy made its tag Iines?"The DeadIy Stroke of Bare Hand Combat"and "Mistress of the Death Blow"?a tad misleading) stars Mao as a deadly fighter out for revenge on the man who wronged her sister (pIayed by Shaw Brothers veteran Chang Yi). After tracking the man down, she finds he is on his own vengefuI path against a gang of Japanese thugs and agrees to help keep him alive – as long as she gets to take her revenge when it’s aII over!
