Rape Of The Sword (Hong Kong Version) DVD Region 3

Li Ching, a Hong Kong legendary actress, first rose to fame in 1965 when her The Mermaid earned her the Best Actress award at the 12th Asian Film Festival, crowning this 16-year-old girl as the youngest winner in history. As the top Shaw Brothers actress in the late 1960s, she made quite a few romantic dramas before switching to swordplay films such as Rape of The Sword , directed by the equally famous Yueh Feng.

A rare film focusing on female fighters, regarded by some fans as the forerunner of the Oscar-winning Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Rape of The Sword sees Li Ching as a general's daughter who learns martial arts from a maid (Li Li Hua) in her father's residence. Actually wife of a famous swordsman who gets killed for possessing the sharpest blade "Green Sword", she disguised as a maid and waits for a chance to revenge. But to her surprise, her long-awaited revenge plan turns out to be the General's daughter fighting against the villain...

韓九重(唐迪 飾)為奪削鐵如泥的青霜劍，誘殺師弟談鶴鳴；談妻耿六娘(李麗華 飾)隱姓埋名在將軍府為傭，伺機奪劍報仇。將軍女兒嬌龍(李菁 飾)拜六娘為師，練成一身武藝，並與六娘師姪羅翼虎(喬莊 飾)相戀。翼虎順嬌龍之意，深夜到親王府盜劍，然而寡不敵眾，失手被擒；嬌龍率眾營救，與韓九重等人展開連場激戰……

Thirty year film veteran Yueh Feng cast almost equally experienced heroine Li Li-hua as a swordswoman out to reclaim her murdered husband's "Green Sword," the sharpest blade in the world. Li Ching, a lovely new star, plays the role of Li Li-hua's student, who must take up the fight when her teacher falters. Action fans and art film lovers alike will appreciate this "woman warrior" epic, which premiered more than thirty years before the Oscar-winning Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon resurrected the same themes.
