Challenge of the Lady Ninja

女忍者

This martial arts sexploitation film is about Lovely Lady Ninja Wong Siu Wai (Elsa Yeung) who has been in Japan training in the art of the ninjitsu. Able to fly, vanish in the blink of an eye, split into duplicate selves, and cause explosions of multicolored smoke, Siu-Wai dazzles her opponents by spinning out of her clothes and fighting in her pink bikini. Returning to China due to the death of her father, she discovers that her fiancée Lee Tung (Chen Kuan-Tai) is to blame. She gathers a gang of sexy female warriors, and puts them through some rigorous ninjitsu training before leading a rebellion against rock transvestite samurai warriors in miniskirts and go-go boots.
