I've got two questions for you, fellow martial arts movies nerds!
First: do you know of a pre-88 wuxia/kung-fu movie which featured the following final scene:
Two heroines were fighting the Big Bad Evil guy (who wasn't actually too big, and possibly had a minion/lieutenant...at the start) near some kind of structure. Maybe a wall? What matters is, they were occasionally jumping up and down on different levels of the wall.
Mostly they fought unarmed, or with short weapons. Possibly daggers were employed.
Maybe there was just a single heroine at the start? I seem to remember someone switching loyalties. Might be me mixing it with other movies, too.
Another thing I'm sure is, after they won, the heroines got to see a peasant/popular uprising. Against the emperor? Against some local official? Don't really remember.
The cast was all-Chinese. Unless they were Koreans or something? I was too young to know the difference.
Also, maybe there was a love interest of one of the heroines, but he got offed earlier? Or during the fight? The BBEG was very evil!
Yes, I'm trying to find a movie I watched when really young...and never managed to. Me being rather young (I suspect it might be a pre-85 production, even) doesn't help with me being a fountain of info, though.
But then we can restrict the possible time of its production.
And then I need a list of kids-friendly martial arts movies. I've got Karate Kid and The Three Little Ninja(s) on my list...
And that's all I can remember. Never was into kids-friendly stuff*, myself. But then I don't want to show the kids way too much bones-breaking, either. Not until I can be sure they wouldn't try it on each other.
*I used to consider Rocky "kids-friendly", because nobody was breaking hands nor using weapons, and actually, nobody even got killed! A rarity for my movies in those days.
As a result, applying what I'd seen in movies without checking the possible results first, was a mistake I'd only done once (and luckily, nobody died).
