The How About Project Part 19 (of 26)

Lots of girls-with-guns films these days (ie. Colombiana, Hanna, etc). Some of them sexy and all of them filled with revenge. Turns out they're part of a tradition, generally believed to have started during the blossoming of the Hong Kong action film industry in the 60s. Yes, my eyebrow arched something awful as well.

Here is a good mixed lot released before 1980:

3) The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)
2) Cleopatra Jones (1973)
1) Zero Woman: Red Handcuffs (1974)

Any you can recommend?
