Set during the Jin invasion of China in the Southern Song Dynasty, Iron Mistress tell the story of the eponymous heroine who rises up in this turbulent time to lead a rebellion against their tyrannical enemy with her upstanding character and masterful kung fu. Under the constant pursuit of Jin general SAN Ke-Ning, Iron Mistress hides out in the depths of the mountains with her subordinates, never imagining that the Jin would take advantage of her kind-heartedness by manipulating her emotions and creating distrust as part of a scheme to crack her inner circle.
Iron Mistress is one of the earlier works of filmmaker SUNG Tsun-Shou, director of Outside the Window. It is a response to the martial arts film wave triggered by Dragon Gate Inn. The tale of the Iron Mistress depicts not only a warrior’s heroic spirit and the deceptive scheming between enemies, but also the inherent weakness and devotion of the human heart.
