Broken Oath Limited Edition Blu-Ray
The parentless and angry Lotus (Mao) is raised by Buddhist nuns before being expelled for her violent ways—and for skipping school to improve her martial arts skills. When she finds herself alone in the world, she quickly discovers the truth about her past: that her father was once a respected member of the imperial court who was cold-bloodedly murdered, and that her mother gave birth to her in a prison cell after being unjustly imprisoned for killing one of the guilty parties. With revenge on her mind and a newfound accomplice in tow (Bruce Leung, Magnificent Bodyguards), she sets out to track down the men responsible for tearing her family apart - armed with both her considerable martial arts skills and a nest of scorpions with which she can poison her enemies. Broken Oath was made when she was at the height of her fame after roles in Hapkido, Lady Whirlwind, Enter the Dragon, and When Taekwondo Strikes, and is one of Angela Mao's very best films—with action choreography by Hsia Hsu (Drunken Master) and Yuen Woo-ping, one of the most respected stunt coordinators in both Hong Kong (The Magnificent Butcher) and Hollywood (The Matrix). Eureka Classics is proud to present the film on Blu-ray for the first time anywhere in the world from a brand new 2K restoration.
