Yes! Love this!

The details don't mention an English dub. But as the old Columbia DVD had one I'm sure this will also be added to the Blu-ray.

GlacierTuba · 11-16-2023, 12:02 PM

Oh my!

Yep, this is a Day 1 for me. I have this already but only on a Japanese import DTS Superbit DVD. Time to upgrade it. Love this film.

Nice seeing the poster art on this release!

Another day 1 must-buy...

dex14 · 11-16-2023, 01:50 PM

Yes!

levcore · 11-16-2023, 02:22 PM

I only remember terrible CG.

MLAM · 11-16-2023, 02:26 PM

I remember this film, day one for me.

What I'd like to see is a hybrid track on this as I believe Shu Qi and Zhao Wei speak Mandarin and the Mandarin track has their voices, however they are dubbed in Cantonese and vice versa for the rest of the cast.

A movie with sexy women kicking butt and CG is what you remember?

It has that bland clinical look (and terrible CG) of its time, but it's a Cory Yuen film with a good looking cast so it gets a pass from me. Refresh your memory:

This is the case for so many films, it would be a very cool thing to do.

Hey MLAM, nice to see you on here

How's things?
I never saw this movie but remember reading about it on the old BnB many years ago, was it a Charlie's Angels type movie?

Markgway · 11-16-2023, 08:16 PM

Shu Qi!

Jompa · 11-16-2023, 08:43 PM

Vicky Zhao is hot. I love those big eyes. Looks sexy on the cover.

Hey grim_tales, like wise

Good to see some of the old names here.

Anyone else from BnB days apart from you and Markgway?

All good here thanks, just adulthood making life busy!
How about yourself?

Not quite, from memory, the girls parents get killed by contract killers, by chance another killer of some sort turns up and rescues the girls and in turn trains them up to be hit women.

Fast forward to them being adults, one of them wants out but is finding it hard to do so.

Plenty of gun action and a nice cover version of "Close to You" is used.

Good to see 88 films are using the nicer cover art, I purposely bought the Korean DVD back in the day as I preferred that cover compared to the Hong Kong version.

GreatUncleBaal · 11-16-2023, 10:48 PM

Never heard of this,
but you guys and the cover, have sold me.

backslashio · 11-17-2023, 11:42 AM

I've tried twice to finish this movie, not sure why as its an amazing cast. Can stream it locally except I can't stand pixelation

Also, this search result amuses me

Things feel busier for me now I'm an adult (or trying to be)

I still try and make time for some movies though

I think it's just me and Mark on here usually but also saw Knetan now and then I think?
