 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Heads for Sale is a 1970 Shaw Brothers wuxia martial arts film starring Lisa Chiao-chiao (who previously played the title character's Love Interest, Xiaoman, in One-Armed Swordsman) and Chan Leung. Somewhat a rarity for Lisa, whose roles are mostly as love interests and damsels who needed saving by the heroes, this time Lisa commandeers the lead role, as an asskicking Action Girl heroine who takes down hordes and hordes of mooks on her own.Lisa Chiao plays Hua Bi-Lian, the daughter of a former swordsman and expert thief, Hua Chen-Fang, who had retired from a life of fighting and killing. While travelling around the city seeking adventures, and attempting to win over the heart of Luo Hongxun, a swordsman and legendary knight Hua Bi-Lian had feelings for, she ends up stumbling across an old enemy of her father, who is back seeking revenge.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })And yes, people do lose their heads in this film. It's in the title (and the poster and DVD cover).

 Decapitation Presentation: See the DVD cover above? This scene is taken directly from the movie itself, after Hua defeats the Co-Dragons and decide to show their heads to the public announcing the bandit boss' deaths.

 Arch-Enemy: Huang Lun considers the Hua family as his sworn enemies, because Hua Chen-Fang, father of Hua Bi-Lian, defeated him in a duel once and left a nasty scar on his cheek.

 Action Girl: Hua Pi-Lian the wuxia swordswoman heroine. With a satisfyingly sizeable on-screen death count, to satisfy Shaw fans who enjoys seeing female wuxia swordswomen taking names.
