Veteran action actor Lu Chun-ku appreciated strong female stars. He had already made Ambitious Kung-fu Girl when he set his sights on this tale of Ching Dynasty royal intrigue. It's all just an excuse for him to hire his favorite action stars, gather three choreographers, and film one fight-filled conspiracy after another. Liu Hsueh-hua, star of Holy Flame Of The Martial World, is the title character, caught between princes lusting for the throne. The award-winning actor Ku Feng (Peking Opera Blues) is her uncle, a noble author who threatens to expose the fourth prince's scandals. Mok Siu-chung, co-star of Once Upon A Time In China II, is the rival fourteenth prince. Then there's "Bastard Swordsman" Hsu Shao-chiang, "King of Shaw Brothers' Screen Villains" Wang Lung-wei, "Venom" Sun Chien, and even the director shows up to get his kicks in this danger-fraught adventure.
