The Bastard

The incomparable Lily Li was considered an actress with an attitude, which was perfect for her becoming a bad-girl fighter. In The Bastard, she plays a beggar girl that becomes a target for evil men plotting to make The Bastard a scapegoat for murder because he happens to like the son of a jailed dignitary's son accused of murder. The Bastard is actually a new take on an old Western classic, Alexandre Dumas' Man in the Iron Mask where epee' and foil fencing is replaced tornados of hands and feet.
