By the time the end credits start to run, there is the definite feeling that strong potential has been wasted.

‘The Lady Hermit’ still manages to stand up well decades on as an extremely entertaining, if not extremely gory, example of the Shaw Brothers armed combat films in their prime.

Strong performances, intelligently filmed action and an all round aura of quality mean that this comfortably hits a four star rating.
