It can't be Blind swordswoman since Cheung Ching Ching doesn't play in it.

It looks rather like the movie Extreme enemy, with Cheung Ching Ching in white clothes and Hung Chin Lien in blue clothes.

Thanks for this superb poster.

All the best to the group of women behind this project, looking forward to seeing the finnished product.

I'm looking forward to seeing what these ladies deliver, enjoyed the short trialer they posted online.

 

Its perfect timing, for a documentary like this one, that focus's on female Asian action heroes. Which have always been decaeds ahead, of their Western counterparts, with the rare excpetion.
