Broken Oath (Joy Sales Version) (Hong Kong Version) VCD

Angela Mao left her mark on kung fu movie history as Golden Harvest's top female action star of the 1970s, turning in memorable performances in films like Lady Whirlwind and Hapkido (both 1972). Although 1977's Broken Oath would be one of her last martial arts movies before her retirement in 1980, Mao was still at the top of her game. A grindhouse favorite in the West, the film showcases Mao's amazing pole fighting ability as well as the intense onscreen charisma that earned her the nickname "the female Bruce Lee."

Born a child of vengeance and hatred, young Lotus (Mao) exists for one purpose: to avenge the rape and wrongful imprisonment of her late mother at the hands of a vicious band of thugs. Ignorant of the facts surrounding her birth, Lotus is raised in the Shaolin temple, where she masters the martial arts but is eventually expelled for her wrathful nature - and her penchant for using poisonous scorpions as weapons. After learning the truth of her origins, Lotus sets out to find her mother's tormentors and exact bloody revenge. Broken Oath plays like a kung fu version of the 1973 Japanese chambara classic Lady Snowblood, and - like that film - was a big influence on Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill. Watch for the final fight between Mao and a ball-and-chain wielding Sammo Hung, which Tarantino duplicated nearly shot-for-shot in Kill Bill: Volume 1.
