Synopsis: The floor manager at a cabaret unsuccessfully attempts to control a group of drunk and disorderly hoodlums. They are evicted by security, but the five gang rape the woman as she walks home. Turns out these are the very same thugs that murdered her father, blinded her sister, and crippled her brother-in-law. And they gave her a vicious venereal disease.  She sets out for revenge.

Her Vengeance is very similar in plot to the earlier Kiss Of Death. The tone is very grim and bleak, there is very little humor to be found (especially for a Golden Harvest production). Pauline Wong (Mr. Vampire, Blue Jean Monster) is excellent as the lead, and Ching-Ying Lam (Mr. Vampire) is winning as a wheelchair bound martial artist who runs a bar. The bad guys are all excellent, with Fui-On Shing (Blue Jean Monster) hamming it up a tad as the most psychotic of the bunch.

It would be best if you stopped here and watched the film. So go away and come back when that has been achieved (it might take a while to secure a copy).

Welcome back. Now that you have experienced the film, it can be revealed that there are two very distinct versions: the Cat III version (78 min) and the Cat IIb version (85 min).  Assuming you viewed the Joy Sales DVD or the Deltamac VCD as opposed to the OOP Megastar VCD, you have witnessed the IIb version. Seems rather tame for a film from the director of Story Of Ricky, Erotic Ghost Story, and Seventh Curse? Well it is, because all nudity and most gore have been cut. Ahhh, but how can the uncut version be shorter? These are completely different edits, and the IIb has numerous scenes that help build characterization and tension, and help the plot make more sense (like the first version of The Big Sleep). That said, it really could use the missing ultra violence contained in the shorter version. So, a ‘director’s cut’ would be manna from heaven, but would require a completely new score (like Payback did).
