Lady Whirlwind, directed by Huang in 1972, sees Mao dead set on avenging the death of her sister, only to find herself fighting a common enemy alongside the man she wants revenge on. Hapkido, made the same year, sees her once more pitted against a gang of Japanese thugs, alongside fellow soon-to-be kung fu legends Sammo Hung (Knockabout) and Carter Wong (Big Trouble in Little China) as disciples of the titular Korean fighting style, studying under real-life hapkido grandmasters Ji Han-jae (Game of Death) and Hwang In-shik (The Way of the Dragon). Originally released in the US as Deep Thrust and Lady Kung Fu respectively, these two restored martial arts classics show Mao at her mightiest - every bit as formidable as the great Bruce Lee, whose sister she played in Enter the Dragon the following year.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBonus Materials\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new 2K restorations by Fortune Star\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentations of both films\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal lossless Mandarin mono audio for both films, plus lossless English dubbed mono audio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional newly translated English subtitles for both films\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Ilan Sheady\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDISC ONE – LADY WHIRLWIND\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommentary by Frank Djeng \u0026amp; Robert “Bobby” Samuels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommentary by Frank Djeng \u0026amp; Michael Worth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommentary by Samm Deighan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLady Whirlwind Speaks, the first part of a newly filmed interview with Angela Mao\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKung Fu Cooking, a newly filmed conversation with Mao’s son Thomas King\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlternate English credits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHong Kong theatrical trailer, plus US theatrical trailer and radio spot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImage gallery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDISC TWO – HAPKIDO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree options of English dub: vintage “kung fu” and “hapkido” dubs in lossless mono, plus 2006 DVD dub in 5.1 surround\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommentary by Frank Djeng \u0026amp; Robert “Bobby” Samuels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommentary by Frank Djeng \u0026amp; Michael Worth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLady Kung Fu Speaks, the second part of a newly filmed interview with Angela Mao\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArchive interviews with Angela Mao, Carter Wong and Sammo Hung \u0026amp; Yuen Biao\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal vintage featurette showing Ji Han-jae teaching the lead actors hapkido, newly restored in 2K by Fortune Star\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree alternate opening credits sequences (textless, English and US)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHong Kong theatrical trailers plus US theatrical trailer and TV spot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImage gallery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFIRST PRESSING ONLY: Illustrated collectors' booklet featuring new writing on the films by critic James Oliver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MVD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40891573010476,"sku":"760137115465","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0359\/2201\/8348\/products\/lady-whirlwind-hapkido-wslip-new-blu-ray-760137115465-7984387.jpg?v=1772393832","url":"https:\/\/www.orbitdvd.com\/products\/lady-whirlwind-hapkido-w-slip","provider":"Orbit DVD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
