About
This top ten box office hit reunites the star duo from Come Drink With Me in another classic action adventure.

Whether single-handedly fighting sixteen bandits or avenging her father's brutal death, she demonstrates why she was Hong Kong's number one swordswoman and no slouch with the whip either!
