Grindhouse Grinds Down With Angela Mao

As the Grindhouse Film Festival finishes off this week, let's take this moment to remember the Queen of Seventies Martial Arts Glory, Angela Mao.

Not all of us forgot your star turns in Return of the Tiger, where you teamed with Bruce Li(!) in order to coolly-demolish an entire yakuza gang with pre-Chun Li flying birdkicks and a vengeance not before seen, even in Hong Kong cinema, all the while wearing a perfectly-fitting silver lame bodysuit. Later, in Tie jin gang da po zi yang guan, aka Stoner, you showed George Lazenby whose film it truly was, besting the former James Bond at every turn through your intense combination of sensuality and heroism.

We also remember you leaving film in 1982, in the midst of your fame, to raise a family, leaving all your bitterly-disappointed fans with celluloid memories filtered through the spectrum of weekend and late-night syndication.

Thanks for bringing her back, Grindhouse Film Festival.
