| Sibelle Hu and Cynthia Rothrock are helping guard an important politician and of course without them everyone would have died. Then Rothrock disappears and the movie dissolves into fifth grade pranks and stupidity as the trainees are supposed to be, well, training. Very nice barracks/accommodations though, but they are not there much. Just as you think the utter childish ridiculous behavior could get no worse there is a... excuse me...gag..scene that can only be explained by the director's loved ones being held captive unless this nauseating piece were put in the movie. Suddenly we have a song and dance that comes out of no where and the girls and the guys and anyone else they could round up join in on the fun and everyone is merry. Did I mention they were wearing rolling skates?
The last few minutes everything changes when the guys get captured the women come out of their timidity and start kicking ass and save the day. It was with great consternation I grudingly classified this as a three star. Rothrock actually looks competent and in good form. With Jackie footing the bill the sets were rather nice and there were a few different sets. Jackie also "donated" his stunt team to the betterment of the training and fight scenes. Although some might not agree. What really bogged down the film was the Sammo - esque "humour". Poor Sibelle must have been having awful flashbacks to the "StarS" movies, I know I was.
SURPRISE ENDING SPOILER********************** Okay if you don't want to know read no further
Well we all know how Jackie's guys are, uhm, well enthusiastic. Those stunt guys are amazing and they do like to blow shit up. I sincerely hope no one was injured in the "run from the fire" training scene but in the out takes that is one serious conflagration! People are being doused with water and other things and seen rolling on the ground to the far viewer's left. I think the news would have spread if anyone was seriously hurt. |
Michelle Yeoh kicks ass in this film. And the female fight scenes are some of the best--unlike some movies.

| N | Michelle Yeoh? I think you have made a mistake. She is not in this movie. I doubt she would have taken a role if begged. | JH15017 |
Beautiful women, funny comedy, great action scenes--a must-see for any Girls-With-Guns fan.
Amusing comedy that mixes elements of the "Police Academy" series, "Private School For Girls" and the HK Girls-with-Guns police movies. It's about the misadventures of a diverse squad of women cadets in the RHKP academy, led by strict instructors Sibelle Hu and Cynthia Rothrock. There is a bit of rivalry and romance between the women cadets and the men at the neighboring police academy for men, and in the end, as expected, they get involved in a "real" adventure.

Here is a fast paced "Police Academy" style action-comedy. Policewoman Cynthia and her team are responsible for protecting a powerful and famous politician. Sibelle is a tough drill instructor assigned to form a "Top Squad." Meanwhile, the male S.W.A.T trainees in the camp have noticed their female counterparts. A martial arts tournament is staged between the two groups, with women coming out victorious. The initial conflicts are eventually resolved as the "Top Squad" and the S.W.A.T. team join forces to round up a gang of notorious thieves. Meanwhile, it is inevitable that romances develop. A fine example of Jackie Chan's work as a producer.
