Summary: Boring and uninteresting..

This is an awful, badly written early 90's action comedy starring the beautiful Joyce Mina Godenzi, Yuen Biao, Billy Chow, and Richard Ng. Someone mentioned that this was Biao's best work since Righting Wrongs(1986), and whoever said that was way off. The action is well choreographed, but really uninteresting, and the final fight with Godenzi and Alvina Kong Yan Yin is too soft and uninteresting. To note, the former President of the Phillipines' daughter, Agnes Aurelio, stars in the movie. Biao, Chow, and Richard Ng save this movie from complete boredom. The fact that Joyce Mina Godenzi comes out of jail looking like a butch doesn't help this movie either. 2/5

I just got this movie in the mail few days ago and I have to say this is one of the best film I have seen! Ngai Sing as a good guy for once too. The basic story is Joyce Gozdenzi is a thief and has to get this disc back from a traitor, Agnes Aurelio. The fights and the rest of the action in the film is very well done and the camera was really good as well. Yuen Biao makes an appearance as Richard Ng's nephew and probably the craziest person in the whole movie! Watch for the fight in the parking lot. I haven't seen anything like this before. Yuen Biao takes on Billy Chow while Ngai Sing fights Billy Tang. I recommand this to everyone who loves modern action films.

Good action movie about some rivaling female thieves; a bitlike Once a Thief. Yuen Biao makes an appearance as the country boy obsessed with Swordsman-novels and justice; pretty funny.
