The Film:
Michelle stars in this swordplay fantasy drama as Sister Ko, the leader of a group of martial artists (named Happy Forest), who directs her men to destroy their rival.
Ko is beautiful, capable, and determined. She dominates everything and everyone in the Happy Forest except for one person: the man she's in love with, who loves someone else. Loving and being loved, Ko seems strong on the surface but is in fact unhappy deep down inside. At one point in the film, she reveals that: 'I've never laughed since the day I was born'. This overwhelming emotion makes hers a tragic character.
Impressive action scenes. See beautiful Michelle using scarf as weapon and effectively turning into a human bow... Don't miss the end title song -- it's performed by Princess Michelle herself! (Is there anything she can't do?)
** The story is an adaptation of a martial arts novel by Gu Long (1936-1985).
