- Synopsis:
One of the greatest action stars ever produced by the Hong Kong film industry, Angela Mao enjoyed a meteoric rise to fame in the 1970s following her leading roles in 'Hapkido', 'Lady Whirlwind' and 'When Taekwondo Strikes', as well as her appearance alongside Bruce Lee in the breakout kung fu hit 'Enter the Dragon'. Collected here are four standout films produced during the first decade of her careen 'The Angry River', 'Stoner', 'The Tournament' and 'The Himalayan'. In 'The Angry River' - one of the very first films produced by Golden Harvest - Mao plays the daughter of a nobleman who is mortally wounded by the evil Lunar Sect. To rescue her father, she must cross the Angry River and venture into the Sorrowful Ghost Valley, but in the process loses her martial powers and faces an even more perilous journey home. 'Stoner' (also released as The Shrine of Ultimate Bliss) sees Mao's secret agent team up with a tough Australian cop (George Lazenby) to bring down a drug trafficking ring. In 'The Tournament', Mao sets out to restore her family name after her brother and father are humiliated in a Thai boxing tournament. Finally, 'The Himalayan' casts Mao as a vengeful bride who masters a secret Tibetan fighting style after being falsely accused of adultery by her scheming brother-in-law. - Actors:
