In a scene that’s hilariously reminiscent of ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom'' (which came out ''after'' this movie, mind you) Chui-ping decides to cut the rope bridge while grabbing to its sides, causing the bridge to split from the middle and most of the mooks to fall to their deaths. Chui-ping even tries climbing upwards while mooks above her try to knock her off by [[HandStomp stomping her fingers]], much like what Mola Ram attempts on Indy!

''The Lady Hermit'' is a 1971 {{Wuxia}} film starring Creator/ChengPeiPei, Lo Lieh and Shih-szu, Taiwan's equivalent to Cheng Pei-pei as a new action actress, then a 19-year-old newcomer to the martial arts films industry.
The Black Demon and his gang are terrorizing a small town, and the only person who dares to oppose him is the mysterious Lady Hermit, a banshee-like avenger who occasionally shows up to stop his mooks from slaughtering the populace.
Young swordswoman Chui-ping (Shih-szu) has been idolizing the mysterious Lady Hermit and seeks to be the hermit's student, and as such decide to track down the hermit by killing off the Black Demon's minions too, attracting attention on herself. After a fateful run-in with chivalrous swordsman Chang-cun, both of them ends up meeting the elusive Lady Hermit in the midst of a battle against Black Demon's thugs.

!!''The Lady Hermit'' provides the following tropes:
* ActionGirl: Yu-shuang, the titular Lady Hermit, and Chui-ping, her budding successor.
* BackToBackBadasses: It’s either between [[StudentAndMasterTeam Yu-shuang and Chui-ping]], [[BattleCouple Chui-ping and Chang-cun]] or [[RedOniBlueOni Yu-shuang and Chang-cun]].
* BadassTeacher: Yu-shuang to Chui-ping.
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Averted, Chui-ping and Yu-shuang gets plenty of blood and scratches on their faces, which are even prominently displayed on [[https://musicart.xboxlive.com/7/3f4b4d00-0000-0000-0000-000000000002/504/image.jpg?w=1920&h=1080 DVD covers and posters]].
* BloodSplatteredWarrior: Yu-shuang in the climax, after a one-on-one epic final battle against the Black Demon.
* EliteMook: The disciples of the Black Demon are elite fighters clad in white, wearing black vests and red MartialArtsHeadband. They put up a better fight than the usual minions in brown robes, and if they attack in dozens they can actually pose a threat to the heroes.
* HoldTheLine: The climax of the movie had Yu-shuang, Chui-ping and Chang-cun battling the Black Demon’s entire legions of mooks at the foot of his pagoda. As the Black Demon made it to the top of the tower, Chang-cun decides to hold off the remaining EliteMook bodyguards so that Yu-shuang and Chui-ping can make their way up the tower.
* ImprovisedWeapon: Chang-cun managed to kill mooks by flinging bowls into their faces. Somehow (maybe the lowest-tier mooks are MadeOfPlasticine?).
* ItsAllUpstairsFromHere: The final showdown consists of Yu-shuang and Chui-ping pursuing the Black Demon through his pagoda lair, each level being guarded by his PraetorianGuard MookLieutenant, where both ladies have to kill their way to the top to confront him personally.
* KnifeNut: Yu-shuang carries a crossbelt full of daggers, which she can use for throwing or as a backuyp weapon. In fact [[spoiler: those daggers are crucial in helping her gain an upper hand in the final battle against the Black Demon]].

They also tend to be more acrobatic, puts up a better fight and can be seen ordering the usual mooks around.
* NiceHat: Yu-shuang’s wide hat, with a MysteriousVeil.
* OffWithHisHead: During Yu-shuang's flashback where she brutally kills three EliteMook which are terrorizing a restaurant, the last surviving mook had his head sliced off by her sword.
* OneManArmy: Yu-shuang, Chui-ping and Chang-cun at various points of the movie, taking on legions and legions of mooks alone or with either one or two of the other. By the end of the film each protagonist has slain enough of the Black Demon’s minions to fill an empty morgue, and Yu-shuang herself easily leads the onscreen kill-tally.
* ProtagonistTitle: Subverted, Chui-ping is the DecoyProtagonist where the movie is allegedly focused more on her, but Yu-shuang '''The Lady Hermit''' is the one with the most amount of development throughout the movie.
* RedBaron: The BigBad of the movie is simply [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname nicknamed]] the Black Demon, but given what he’s called by everyone else, including his own mooks, its pretty clear [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast he’s not really jolly guy to hang out with]].
* RasputinianDeath: [[spoiler: The Black Demon gets slashed through the gut, stabbed in the forehead by two daggers, have four more daggers shoved into his midsection, and somehow soldiers through his injuries trying to finish off Yu-shuang in a last-ditch move until she strikes him down before he can succeed]].
