    Misleading title and poster
    The movie starts in a karate school with some demonstrations and fights. The story turns to a guy and his gang who seem to be in business procuring virgins for brothels. The boss goes out for revenge on a guy who beat up a friend and postpones the revenge for some murder and rape. Pai Ying enters as the son of the dead woman and brother of the blind rape victim. He is a former police man, fired for rashness, a common personality defect in these movies. The bad guy feels safe that the blind girl doesn't know what he looks like but fate steps in. Out of all the restaurants in Hong Kong the rapist ends up in the same one as the victim and she recognizes his voice. It's a small world, no?

    The original title of this movie is "Hei dai chou qiu" which translates to "and on behalf of pumping the ball". Obviously. much is lost in that translation. The movie poster is totally misleading. There is no "karate tigress" in the movie as well as the other people pictured. I also suspect the karate school scene was added to make money off the 1970s martial arts craze in America. Despite the totally fake packaging the fights were good enough.
