I did a couple of written articles for my blog a couple of years ago about the evolution of women in Martial Arts.

Nora Maio is not on that picture, I cant comment on Tien Ni, Polly is the only lady I know on that image. Though the woman on the far right is familiar for some reason.

they are indeed, i must admit Sun Chia Lin is starting to grow on me, i didnt appreciate but i do of later years her capabilities, are we both talking about the lady in hot the cool and viscious amongst other films? My favourite heroines are Chia Ling (judy lee),Angela mao, Gwok Siu-Chong (not in enough films),Polly Shan Kwan (have you seen Polly in modern day setting film "Seven to One" ?, i think its very entertaining and always gets repeated), in some films Doris Lung Chun-Erh is outstanding....and quite a few others these are just the old school fighters. New wave actresses along with Cynthia Rothrock i will like to discuss and see your thoughts, if you are into that genre?

 

[ShawAngela]

I haven't watched hot, cool and vicious, but I saw Sun Chia Lin in The big fellow, Gecko kung fu, Tiger, Ever victorious hall, Heinous fiend, and some other ones and she was excellent for me !;

I'm more old school than new wave, but Ii know some new wave actresses too...

on reflection i take back my  comments concerning Sun Chia Lin, looking at her directory of films and from what i can remember she deserves all credit due....what was i thinking ?
