Mao trained in hapkido, wushu, taekwondo, and other forms of martial arts during her film career to prepare for her roles. Angela is my all time favorite female kung fu star, the real deal. She retired from films in 1992 to devote herself to her family. In the 80’s she would appear in a few movies, the most famous one being “Snake Deadly Act” (A great movie by the way). This story was to make it to the national newspapers and also made tv headlines. Angela, of course knew her stuff and landed a few kicks on her attacker before he fled the scene. One new years day, when she was coming home from her god fathers house, a guy attacked Angela in the street. In that movie, she would use lots of back-flips and somersaults, something Jackie could relate to, also starting off in the Peking Opera school. Two years later, she made a movie called “Dance Of Death”, which was choreographed by Jackie Chan. In 1977, she made the movie “Broken Oath”, which co-starred Chan Wai Man and Chiu Hung and action by Yuen Woo Ping. In the few years that went by, she went to appear in other movies for Golden Harvest such as, “The Tournament”, “Stoner”, “A Queen’s Ransom” and “The Himalayan”. ![]() In the movie, she would play Bruce Lees sister who was killed after being chased down by a gang at the start of the movie in the flashback scene. Then she was approached by Bruce Lee and director Robert Clouse the same year, to have a small role in the international movie “Enter The Dragon”. In 1973, Angela appeared in a few movies such as “When Taekwondo Strikes”, “Thunderbolt” and “The Fate Of Lee Khan” (Directed by legend KIng Hu). This led them to come back to Hong Kong and start work on there next movie, titled “Hapkido”, which also starred Carter Wong, Wang In Sik and Ji Han Jae. Whilst they were in Korea they studied Hapkido, training very hard every day and in the end they were both awarded 3rd Dan Black belts. After making her first movie with Golden Harvest “The Angry River”, she went to make a movie with fellow kung fu star Sammo Hung called “Lady Whirlwind”, the movie was filmed in Korea. At the time, Raymond heard about Angela from Peking Opera and that she was a good performer on the stage, at the time they needed a female leading role for a upcoming movie “The Angry River”.Īngela Mao’s ability had met Raymond Chow’s expectations and that’s how she became involved with Golden Harvest. In 1970, Golden Harvest boss Raymond Chow, went to Hong Kong in search of new actors, where she was introduced to him by a friend. When attending Opera school, she and the others would wake up around 5am to learn Gymnastics, mid day she would learn singing, which then went onto reading books and more acrobatics in the evening. Around the same time, she also attended Ballet lessons, which is why in time she would be so flexible and show these movements in some of the movies. Angela Mao, nicknamed “Lady Whirlwind” and “Lady Kung Fu” by her fans, started of in Chinese opera, like most others at the time before making her way into the movie business.
