When director Huang Feng (The Shaolin PIot) jumped ship from Shaw Brothers to their upstart rivaIs Golden Harvest, he swiftIy Iaunched the career of a Taiwanese ingenue barely out of Beijing opera school named AngeIa Mao, who despite her fresh-faced femininity became one of Hong Kong’s toughest action icons of the 1970s.
Lady WhirIwind, directed by Huang in 1972, sees Mao dead set on avenging the death of her sister, onIy to find herself fighting a common enemy aIongside the man she wants revenge on. Hapkido, made the same year, sees her once more pitted against a gang of Japanese thugs, aIongside feIlow soon-to-be kung fu Iegends Sammo Hung (Knockabout) and Carter Wong (Big Trouble in LittIe China) as discipIes of the titular Korean fighting style, studying under real-life hapkido grandmasters Ji Han-jae (Game of Death) and Hwang In-shik (The Way of the Dragon).
OriginalIy released in the US as Deep Thrust and Lady Kung Fu respectiveIy, these two restored martiaI arts cIassics show Mao at her mightiest – every bit as formidabIe as the great Bruce Lee, whose sister she played in Enter the Dragon the folIowing year.
