Audience Member Great Martial arts with a grand gymnastic approach! Director Simon Chung (End of Love) and Lin Yi-Hsiu take this talented Martial Artist Chi Dan Dan and showcases her to the max in "the unseen lost treasure" that will leave you acrobatically astonished. Synopsis: Shao Wa (Chi Dan Dan) happily trains with others trying to learn a thing or two about Martial Arts while a disapproving father keeps her away from the barbaric lifestyle. One day he is murdered and thus Shao sets her mind upon seeking revenge by training with a new found master that teaches her Kung Fu in order to bring peace to herself. This is a very low budget Martial Arts flick that was made in 1976 carrying poor cinematic quality, unfortunate lack of acting, an annoying reverberation for sound sampling and seeming as if the film was shot in and around the same locations at all times of the movie. Furthermore, it adds a great deal of strangeness to the characters and is short of a unique plot. So what other reason to give this film a try? Well, it's real simple...Chi Dan Dan. The Martial Arts executed by the actors make Chi Dan Dan's Kung Fu style stand out in a remarkable way as she delivers a rhythmic performance that should keep an audience enlightened threw the whole vengeful tale. Although there are shots created in the editing room to give extra strength to a fighting character, you could easily tell what Chi Dan Dan is doing for real and raw. Most of her action sequences seemed to have no props at all when choreographing (action director and actor Tai Liang Wong) fight scenes on the bare earthly base, and even the training session's were just as good leading you up to an unforgettable finale. This carries some cool comedy elements with a taste of some uncanny characteristics, but something about it may keep you interested in watching it again and again, perhaps Chi Dan Dan is that something...Special. Unfortunately, there is not much internet information to this incredible and beautiful Martial Arts actress accept to say that "Ye mao ba fan" aka 8 Strikes of the Wildcat was her first film in 1976 and had happened to do only one more afterwards in 1981 titled "The Flower, the killer" whom wasn't so much credited for. However, those who loved the classic chop-socky flicks should not forget what she had contributed to the cinema as it was.
