Both Michelle and Cynthia do a good job for first time headliners but must sadly give way for the comedy aspect throughout the movie. And the scenes involving John Shum, Meng Hoi, and Tsui Hark's characters take up a little too much screen time for my taste. But at least the awesome action makes up for it.

Director Yuen Kwai's super swift choreo really stretches the two girls' physical abilities to the utmost. And the fights and stuntwork are truly stuff that makes you go "DAAAAMN!" The end fight with the girls versus Dick Wei and Chung Fat is one of the classic showdowns of HK action cinema, one you can just watch over and over again.

This movie has everything that makes 80's HK action so damn enjoyable: cute girls, bad fashion, over the top villains, crazy stunts, and bad ass fights. If you dig "girls with guns" flicks, you can't go wrong with this good old classic.

This is possibly the Grandmaster and reigning champ of all bad ass chick flicks. Michelle Yoeh is mesmerizing and exibits the traditional fearless nature of a stunt performer at their peak. Her stunts and fights throughout this movie are second to no man.

We also get to see Cynthia Rothrock at arguably her finest. Everthing about her was so much better in her Hong Kong movies. Her kicks were sharper, her movements were more fluid, and then she came back home to unleash an endless string of B movies that would never even come close to capturing her amazing ability like her efforts that were "made in China". (Lead free.)

Then we got the man himself, Tsui Hark, who delivers a good performance as one of the main hoods who are clearly in over their heads.

This movie brings it all together and entertains on more than one level. The humor is pretty good and the action and fight/stunt choreography are all completely Hong Kong A-game stuff. This movie makes "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" look like playground antics. If you are about the tough chick flicks, this movie is a must-own.

Now I must be off to help old ladies in their eternal struggle to cross the street. They are usually so thankful that they don't notice that their purses are missing...
