Female Assassin (Shanghai Grand)

An unnamed Female Assassin (Almen Wong) is a secondary antagonist in the 1996 Hong Kong crime drama film Shanghai Grand (also known as Shanghai Grand 1996).
== Biography ==
Almen Wong plays a sadistic Japanese assassin working for 1930s Shanghai crime boss Fung King-yiu (Wu Hsing-kuo), and is first seen interrogating and torturing the protagonist, Taiwanese patriot Hui Man-keung (Leslie Cheung) for a list of names of his comrades. Keung is able to cause a commotion by headbutting her and he escapes, but not before she executes his fellow prisoners.
She displays psychopathic and sexually sadistic tendencies throughout the film, showing enjoyment in her victim's pain ("You will not die comfortably" she tells fellow protagonist Ting Lik later on), and a lack of mercy and when she coldly murders the remainder of Keung's comrades with a machine gun as he escapes her.
She later reappears when Keung's partner, Triad Ting Lik (Andy Lau), tracks the pattern on the cheongsam dress she wore at the beginning of the film to a shop in Shanghai, where she attempts to murder him. She first knocks him unconscious before, dressed only in her lingerie, tying him to a bed and unleashing her pet - an enormous python, on him.
As she watches, laughing cruelly as our protagonist struggles helplessly against the python's coils, Ting manages to get the upper hand when he uses a lamp to electrocute the beast, which is sent flying backwards - right onto its shocked and unsuspecting mistress. The assassin screams in horror as the enraged creature wraps itself around her neck and she falls back onto the bed as Ting makes his escape. 
She is last seen desperately fighting to free herself from the rogue python, and is presumably left to her hellish fate of being devoured whole and digested alive by her own pet.
