Cast

Critical reception

Brian Orndorf of Blu-ray.com called the film "a jarring viewing experience", and wrote that it "has no substance or dramatics, just a random assortment of poses from actors who don't have martial arts training". [4] He concluded: "It should be fun, but it's a little too dark for comfort, with sex scenes more about domination than pleasure [...] It's all a big goof, and one that could use 100% less rape to be taken seriously as something light." [4]

Home media

In July 2013, The Vixens of Kung Fu was released on DVD by Vinegar Syndrome as a double feature with another 1975 film, Oriental Blue, also directed by Bill Milling. [5] [6] In 2018, Vinegar Syndrome released the film on Blu-ray as part of a five-disc collection titled 5 Films 5 Years - Volume #3. [7] [8]
