    This is a hard film to really comment on. So much of it is badly done - like the script, editing and most of the acting. Yet it is worth watching for Chi Kuan Chun (who played in many Shaw's classics) playing a unsympathetic character who of course comes good in the end. Kong Ching Ha plays the mistress of the troupe of travelling herbal medicine sellers who also practice kung fu and is always a good actress. But the strange star of the film is Phoenix Yue Shing Fung who only seems to have made this film. She looks very young which makes the villains lusting after her even more distasteful. But even allowing for some obvious trickery she was / is an amazing acrobat. She plays the part as dumb but her character comes strongly through and its a pity she seems not to have been offered more parts. The storyline is very average but Bai Ying (playing the evil Doctor Chang) plays it well and the final three on one fight is well done with an unusual ending. It also contains the classic lines when Phoenix orders her companions not to die as 'what will women do, if men die'. I leave others to answer that! So, not a great film but an interesting curiosity and I will never understand how she managed some of the contortions.
