Haunted Madam (1986)

This is one of those weird little Hong Kong horror flicks from the 1980's (Haunted Madam @HKMDB) that seemed to be quite popular in that era. The first half hour of the movie deals with some superpowered evil guy who is eventually killed and from then on possesses the police woman shown in the pics, granting her superpowers and turning her into an unstoppable killing machine.

She does wreak a bit of havoc when being possessed, but as you might have guessed, the movie is really cheesy. In the scene shown in the pics she kills one of the people our evil guy wants to take revenge on -- by kicking and throwing her around a bit and finally stabbing her with the fingers and then triumphantly lifting her overhead, accompanied by some evil manical laughter.

Regarding her powers: She seems more or less indestructible: Bullets don't harm her, blades get bent when someone tries to stab her etc.; she has superstrength and kicks people around like rag dolls, breaks out of some chains people tie her up with ... Eventually her possession ends and the final fight in the last 5 minutes or so features the male villain again, who has come back.

Cheesy but funny nonetheless. I might post the scenes to my board in the near future ...
