Lady Whirlwind a.k.a. Deep Thrust (Chinese: 鐵掌旋風腿) is a 1972 Hong Kong martial arts film directed by Huang Feng, starring Angela Mao.
A young man (Chang Yi in a rare good guy role) is severely beaten by Japanese mobsters and left for dead on the beach. He is nursed back to health by a pretty young girl, and he vows to take revenge on the criminals. Meanwhile, Miss Tien (Angela Mao) comes to town with a score to settle with Chang Yi. Apparently, her sister was jilted by Chang Yi and she killed herself, so Angela must avenge her by taking his life. Chang Yi begs her to spare him until after he gets his revenge, to which she reluctantly agrees, only to save his life after he gets mercilessly beaten by his enemies.
As Angela waits for Chang Yi to recover so she can beat him, he runs into an old man who teaches him the art of t'ai chi. This gives him the edge he needs, and he finally destroys the leader of the gang. Angela finally jumps in to take her revenge, but Chang Yi's girlfriend throws herself between them and begs for mercy. Angela surprisingly spares their lives and storms off into the distance, presumably to find someone else to take out her aggression.
