Brigitte and Yuen Biao are orphans whose parents are killed by leaders of the 6 respectable sects.  Yuen Biao is ignorant of the situation as the whole dreadful matter happened when he was too young to remember.  Brigitte remembered and swore vengence.  But Brigitte was separated from Yuen Biao and she only realised he was her brother in the middle of the show because he has a birthmark on his chest.  There is a showdown where Brigitte and Yuen Biao meet the wicked sect leaders.  Of course, Brigitte was the best fighter in the whole show and her weapon is a lyre. Click for the conclusion of Deadful Melody.

A pleasant show with a fairly simple plot.  A rather nice show to watch on a lazy afternoon.  This show doesn't make sense when Brigitte dresses up as a man but it just capitalize on her Asia the Invincible fame.  A rare movie where Brigitte has no romantic interest.  A lot of exploding bodies with lots of varied coloured smoke.
