Action actress Kara Hui Ying Hung stars as “Jing Dai-nan”, the titular young auntie. Kara Hui got her big break in 1976’s “Challenge of the Masters”, going on to appear in many Shaw Brothers classics including “Invincible Shaolin”, “Mad Monkey Kung Fu”, “Dirty Ho”, “Legendary Weapons of China“, “Clan of the White Lotus” and “Return to the 36th Cham...
Honest and faithful servant Jing Dai-nan marries her elderly master so the old man can keep his estate from falling into the greedy and unscrupulous hands of his brother, Yu Yung-sheng. When the old master passes away, Dai-nan inherits his estate and travels to Guangzhou, to pass it on to his favourite nephew, Yu Cheng-chuan, and his son Yu Tao. Hi...
The opening titles, replete with dramatic theme music, play over Lau Kar-leung looking as sharp and powerful as ever, as he busts out a kung fu fist form. It proves to be a red herring, as the usually very serious master filmmaker, embarks on a comedy-of-errors, as he tries to establish contact with Kara Hui as Auntie.
Kara Hui quickly establishes her own kung fu credentials when she teaches a gang of rude hooligans a lesson. Directed by Lau Kar-leung, her strikes look authentic and hard-hitting, as you would expect. What is more remarkable is that Hui was recovering from an operation when this scene was filmed, with much of the action performed whilst she was se...
Hsiao Ho gets an acrobatic introduction in a “kung fu-off” with Kara Hui. Both stars demonstrate a variety of impressive traditional martial arts skills, whilst being doubled for some amusing gymnastic elements. When the naïve young country girl gets into a scrape in the city, the pair team up to great effect in an entertaining street fight. Althou...
Even so, as with the fighting, the choreography is very energetic and precise. Featuring a bewigged, guest-starring Gordon Liu, the fancy dress ball soon descends into a brawl. There are some Errol Flynn-style sword antics, before Kara Hui brings in her more traditional Chinese kung fu skills to take on the troublemakers. There are moments of truly...
Once inside the mansion, they encounter Ah Tak and his henchmen. The ensuing brawl brings with it some excellent trademark Lau Kar-leung choreography, embracing strikes, kicks, acrobatics, swords and spears. The pace is breathtaking and the long takes don’t even cut between fighters, with the camera instead fast-panning to each sequence. The grand ...
Kar-leung’s choreography, particularly with the weapons, is versatile and spectacular, and yet retains the authentic application of each technique on display. It is a genuine marvel for traditional martial artists who practice the styles on display to enjoy.
A film I haven’t seen since the days of VHS, it was a genuine treat to revisit this classic. Kara Hui is absolutely delightful as the pretty country girl who, despite her naivety, can hold her own against her male peers. That’s not to say this film isn’t without its misogynistic moments, but viewed through 21stcentury “woke” lenses, it could be arg...
