She is so awesome and great at kung fu. Why no DVD distributor love for her action flicks in the West ?
shareI remember there was a seller on Ebay or Ioffer who was selling a bunch of her films. Not sure if he's still around anymore.

Good call. I didn't think about iOffer to be honest, but that might be the best place to check, thanks !
shareGot lucky this evening and happened across a youtube channel that appears to feature almost all of her films ! Either dubbed in English or subtitled !
Watching her kick two antagonist's asses in Killer Angels right now :)
Hilariously, (this is dubbed into English, so I guess that it's the Western distributors' idea) one of the male characters is called Jackie Chan and they keep mentioning his name a LOT. I guess trying to cash in on his films of the time !
By the way. Most seem to be listed on iOffer at only about £7.99 each ( minus shipping ) which is about only $10.US so when i'm a bit more flush I'm going to snap some up. Only thing is, they're bootlegs and they don't come with any covers so I might need to seek out and print those for myself. They being bootlegs is inevitable i guess, as it's highly unlikely that they ever got any meaningful distribution in the West, especially not the UK, when at the time, all kinds of kung fu films were either heavily censored or simply not released at all. The 1980s weren't a great time for avid foreign film collectors in the UK ! 😓
Sweet! It's nice to have some of their movies on YouTube for viewing.
Here are a few cool montages:

On Amazon Prime Instant in the UK they have quite a few classic kung fu films including Midnite Angels 3 starring Moon Lee. I agree that bootlegs for these movies is the way to go as there is no official legal release, either that or watch them on YouTube.

Moon Lee is one of my favs also, I was fortunate to purchased a substantial amount of her films when they had limited US releases on VHS and have since transferred them to DVD. Another favorite of mine is Yukari Oshima aka Cynthia Luster, man can that woman fight! Her films are also hard to find, some can be watched on you tube though.
