Action Girl: Ma Jin-ling, played by Shaw Brothers' "Deadly Doll" Li Ching. Unlike Li Ching's other roles like in Have Sword, Will Travel and The Anonymous Heroes where she plays second fiddle as a supporting player to the (mostly male) protagonists, here she managed to fend herself well enough against hordes and hordes of mooks, takes plenty of names (even more so than her earlier parts), can hold her own against Elite Mooks note  In her other films she usually only fight faceless randoes before getting defeated by named villains, at which point she's out of action while other protagonists takes on prominent baddies , and even killing the powerful Bandit Lord Jin Tiao-ling which is The Dreaded.
