Zhong tai quan tan sheng si zhan

Jupp. As the title says, about 1½ hour of Angela Mao kicking the ass of one evil dude after an other. It is quite amazing to have such a powerfull feamale lead character FORTY FIVE YEARS AGO! If you like a strong female protagonist, you dont have to appreciate martial arts to like this movie. Fortunatly for me i like both :)

A movie worth watching more than one time.

After an unsanctioned match between a Chinese martial arts student and a Thai boxer results in disgrace for the Chinese, they determine to train and salvage their master's reputation.

Bruce Lee and his philosophy were obviously a huge influence on Mao's character here as she isn't arrogant and closed-minded in regards to other fighting styles. She goes to Thailand, studies Muay Thai fights, comparing it to other real-world fighting styles, analyzing their strengths and weaknesses, and coming up with strategies to defeat them.

This is a top-tier martial arts film with some superb fights; Angela Mao fights like a whirlwind, knocking down opponents like bowling pins. It's tightly-plotted, fast-paced, and the story is never drowned in endless fights - there's a great balance between action and narrative. Definitely on par with Hapkido - another Angela Mao classic.

A very difficult film to locate, I located one through a (ahem) bootleg company which shall stay anonymous. This really has to be Angela's best, better than Broken Oath or Hapkido. Sammo Hung's action is what makes the usual non martial artists look better than they ever have and that includes the often wooden Carter Wong! The plot line, as if anyone ever cares with these films revolves around a Chinese Kung Fu school who owe a great deal of dollars to a local mob. The Sifu gets desperate and takes his two best students which happen to be his sons to Thailand to compete, for money, full contact. Not a good idea as one is injured and one returns to kick up daisies back in Hong Kong. Instead of the Kung Fu elders throwing a massive wake for his loss they ridicule him, steal his students and forces him to hang himself! Enter Angela Mao! She decides that the only way to save face is to go to Thailand, learn Muay Thay and return with said face! The standout scene for me is when the association try to stop her and she goes through each student proving her worth. Look out for Sammo, Wilson Tong & Whang In Sik in this scene. Also, note the soundtrack used to introduce each student. It's a little snip-it taken, illegally no doubt, from the Electric Light Orchestra's B side & album track 'In Old England Town'. Am I sad or what???

Two Kungfu fighters take part in a fight against Thai boxers and lose because they are not prepared well enough, one of them is killed. The injured survivor (Carter Wong) and his sister (Angela Mao) now take a lot of time to study the style of their opponents, because on the second trip from Hong Kong to Bangkok, they don't want to lose again.

Good fighting with a variety of styles, but also a good story about a master who lost his face and is shunned by the others, even all students are leaving his school. I remember Carter Wong for his stare - eyes wide open like he is paying total attention. Practice that trick, children, it will help with the teachers at school. Angela Mao however gets the best part, furious and restless until the last enemy is kicked out of her house. Classic 70s flick that shouldn't be forgotten.

This is one of the best movie that features Angela Mao's kung fu action.

Golden Harvest really had original style when they came into existence in the early '70s, and this movie is different in its looks and feel from other kung fu movies of its time. There's more details to the story, and each character gets more character development. In this movie Angela Mao's character gets cornered into fight in Thailand to redeem the honor of her father, and the Chinese kung fu.

The movie's English title is "The Tournament". As the title indicates, Angela and her brother played by Carter Wong fights in a Thai kick boxing tournament. Angela Mao shows her amazing skills in this movie, and she's in her top form. The movie is also beautifully shot, and its quality is a notch or two above similar movies of the era.

Treat yourself to the breath taking skills of Angela Mao in this movie. You won't be disappointed.
