Lady Whirlwind... Mao Ying

 

From Wiki- Lady Whirlwind a.k.a. Deep Thrust (Chinese: 鐵掌旋風腿) is a 1972 Hong Kong martial arts film written and directed by Huang Feng, starring Angela Mao.[2][3][4].  A young man Ling Shih-hua (Chang Yi) is severely beaten by Japanese mobsters and left for dead on the beach. He is nursed back to health by a pretty young girl, and he vows to take revenge on the criminals. Meanwhile, Miss Tien Li-Chun (Angela Mao) comes to town with a score to settle with Ling.  Back to me now!

Angela Mao Ying is not the top-billed star here. Chang Yu - Ling Shi-hua is credited first, then Mao Ying.  That would change in a hurry.  The fights here are still of the "basher" variety, though actual kung fu is present.  This would change in a hurry!  It is a pretty good movie.  The US title was Deep Thrust.  Clever.  Not.
