The Challenge of the Lady Ninja
New York Asian Film Festival 2013
June 28 - July 11, 2013
Lovely Lady Ninja Wong Siu Wai returns to China after the death of her father, where she discovers her fiancé has betrayed her and must gather a gang of female warriors to seek vengeance.
This martial arts sexploitation film is about Lovely Lady Ninja Wong Siu Wai (Elsa Yeung) who has been training in Japan in the art of the ninjitsu. Able to fly, vanish in seconds, split into double-exposed duplicates, and create explosions of multicolored smoke, Siu-Wai dazzles her opponents by spinning out of her clothes and even fighting in her pink bikini. She returns to China due to the death of her father, and discovers that her fiancé Lee Tung (Chen Kuan-Tai) is to blame and has betrayed her. She gathers a gang of sexy female warriors and puts them through some rigorous ninjitsu training before leading a rebellion against rock transvestite samurai warriors in miniskirts and go-go boots.
