Movie Info

This novel fusion of action and romantic drama is a good example of the kind of vehicle Cheng Pei-Pei starred in during the late 1960's and early 1970's. In The Lady Hermit, Cheng Pei-Pei stars as the title character, a legendary martial artist who is living incognito as a maid while trying to heal from an injurious battle with the villain Black Demon (Wong Hap). Unfortunately, Black Demon wants to finish what he started and terrorizes the countryside as he searches for her. Things get more

The Lady Hermit is an exemplary wuxia and one that deserves to find an audience for the way its quirks affirm its genre's unique preoccupations.

Audience Reviews for Zhong kui niang zi (The Lady Hermit)

Highly underrated work from China, one of many it seems, of a young villager who becomes fascinated with an eldor, due to her mysterious background. She witnesses her ability to fight off sword bandits that invade the village and becomes entranced by her techniques in fending off enemies. The villager than begins to stock the older villager and is in demand of wanting to learn to fight like her. The older woman also has her own goal, to take down the vicious, violent "Black Demon." Exciting, entertaining pic that contains a fair amount of violence and well done story.
