A
brilliant - yet conscientious - scientist develops the deadliest
explosive the world has ever known but soon it falls into the
hands of a criminal organization headed by the evil Bruto. The five
angels assist the International police organization to stop the potential
reign of terror. This Indonesian film, obviously inspired by Charlie's
Angels and the numerous Asian spinoffs (ie,CHAI-LAI
ANGELS, DEADLY
ANGELS, SO
CLOSE, et al) features an elite group of female fighters
with a secret identity and great knowledge of martial arts.
The
film also answers the question: 'Are you happy to see me or do you have
a crocodile in your pocket?"
