I believe one of the fighters in Bronson Lee: Champion used a whip. I think one of the fighters in Bloodsport 3 did also.

I don't think this movie was ever discussed here and it's rather subpar (poor comedy mixed with average fighting), but Young Avengeress (1969) have Bad Guy using whip in the final fight.

Plus modern Wuxia/War Chinese Dramas are using it quite often. This is the most recent clip I've watched, no idea about the tile though
 


EDIT: Also, Dilmurat Dilraba, who is a very popular C-drama modern actress, uses Whip a lot in this year' "The Legend of Anle" series (available on YT), her first WuXia main role.

Now that you say that, it seems to be that the whip is also used in Bamboo house of dolls. Can anyone confirm ?

It seems that Revengeful Swordswoman (1979) also have Whip in action - one of the Bad Guys use it in a rather complicated 2 on 2 Final Fight, including his duel against Chia Ling.

There's a little bit of a whip use in Killer darts, 1968

Fang Mien uses a kind of whip with a weapon at the end in The invincible fist 1969

If I'm not mistaken, during the fight in the inn, there is a use of a whip in Dragon Swamp 1969

If I recall correctly it was, but then that's not a martial arts movie.

It's been years since I saw but don't the villains in Golden Ninja Warrior use a whip to beat a woman who won't work as a prostitute?

I think Ninja Terminator also has a similar torture scene with a whip.

Do you want me to do a title consolidation post?

I'm not sure to understand what you mean, but if you think that it will help, you can do it, thanks.
