A Hong Kong take on Japan’s Lady Snowblood, Broken Oath is an action-packed tale of righteous vengeance directed by Jeong Chang-hwa and starring the first lady of kung fu cinema: the inimitable Angela Mao! Orphaned and angry, Lotus (Mao) is raised by Buddhist nuns before she is exiled for her violent ways - and skipping classes to improve her martial arts skills. Finding herself alone in the world, she quickly comes to discover the truth of her past: that her father was once a respected member of the Imperial Court who was murdered in cold blood, and that her mother gave birth to her in a jail cell after being unjustly imprisoned for killing one of the culprits. With revenge on her mind and a newfound accomplice in tow (Bruce Leung), she sets out to track down the men responsible for tearing her family apart - armed with both her considerable martial arts prowess and a nest of scorpions with which to poison her enemies.
