The Dragon Tamers, also known as Belles of Taekwondo (Chinese: 女子跆拳群英會), is a 1975 Hong Kong action film.
Long before his development of the "heroic bloodshed" gangster films genre, John Woo was a young director struggling to make it in the Hong Kong film industry. The Dragon Tamers was his second film as a director (his debut film was The Young Dragons (1974)).
This action picture from Golden Harvest was filmed in Korea. Stunt choreographer, Chuan Chen had been a recognized talent at Golden Harvest, having worked on many of their films. His assistant on this particular production was a very young and hungry, Jackie Chan.
