1977, Chinese. Directed by Hsiao Mu.
The setting for this tale is an inn where people come from all corners of China every 5 years to witness and participate in a prestigious horse race. However, the inn is also swarming with thieves and con-men looking to score. Angela Mao plays the innkeepers daughter and she sends the villains back to where they came from in a series of great fights. Angela Mao using the Snake fist is a must see.
