Bat Girl: Hong Kong-style Part 2

If you were wondering why Josephine Siao's The Lady Killer was also known as Bat Girl, just check out her crime-fighting outfit in this detail from the movie flyer. Here are the entire front and back of the flyer. BTW, the film's director was Wong Fung, who was screenwriter for the prolific 1950s Wong Fei Hung film series. Besides Bat Girl and the previously mentioned Blue Falcon, he made one other "Jane Bond" film with Josephine, called Golden Skeleton (1967), which I'm happy to report has survived and is viewable at the Hong Kong Film Archive. But if you're not planning on going to Hong Kong any time soon, then do yourself a favor and watch a fun film he made in 1962 with a young Connie Chan, called The Blonde Hair Monster.

Bat Girl: Hong Kong-style Part 1

For my inaugural post, I thought I'd do a tie-in with Todd Stadtman's latest posting of some of my Blue Falcon lobby cards. Here is the EP cover for another one of Josephine Siao's "Jane Bond" films: The Lady Killer (1967), also known as Bat Girl. I love Josephine's flamenco six-shooter look and the blood squib graphic! Sadly, this film, like Blue Falcon, is missing in action.
