Holy monkey jebus, where to start:
-Ching Tun Sung (i'm spelling it bad for sure) is the action director here, so fast and wild fights are a safe bet
-Anthony Wong plays the bad guy sidekick. He uses none other than a flying guillotine as main weapon, and his entire role consists of him growling and doing crazy poses
-Not since Hard Boiled so many babies were used as props for action sequences
-There is a fight sequence involving the 3 main actresses and a skeleton doll. I shit you not.
-Rad theme song
-Jhonnie To was the director, way before he started to develope his now trademark style
-Do i even need to mention that Yeoh, Mui and Cheung look boing-tastic trough tthe whole movie?
-Did i mention that i'm still hard?
In other words, this movie shouldn't even exist at all, probably ended up here from some strange bizarro dimension where kick-assness is part of everyone's daily meal. That this movie hasn't made our universe implode is a damn miracle.
Damn, i miss the good ol days of the HK movie industry, where things like this were the bread and butter of every day. So, in other words, this movie is camp+cheese+radness+hot women+political criticism (women saving male babies in China!) all role into one brain-smasher cocktail. You either drink it or it drinks you.
