The
diva cast (Moon Lee, Yukari Oshima and Sibelle Hu) makes this one of
the best girls-n-guns Hong Kong films. The plot deals with two sisters,
Fox and Cat, who work as hitwomen for their gangster father. While traveling
to Thailand on assignment, Fox (Moon Lee) has an accident and suffers
from amnesia. She is befriended by Lan-Fa (Sibelle Hu) who introduces
her to a 'normal life.' Thinking that his daughter has betrayed him,
the ruthless father sends Cat (Yukari * Oshima) to find and eliminate
her. When she can't pull the trigger on her sister, dad retaliates by
ordering her stepbrother to snuff Cat. This is the final straw. The
two sisters join forces to eliminate the patriarch and his Triad empire.
Filmmaker
Lu Chin-Ku is no stranger to the Gun Diva genre, having directed
the legendary Moon Lee actioner KILLER
ANGELS in 1989. Director Lu spent 20+ years in the Hong Kong
motion picture business, working both as an actor (30 films) and director
(24 movies) between 1973-1994. His work in front of the camera - usually
under the alias Chun Lu - consisted mostly of action films and martial
arts movies. As a filmmaker, under a variety of pseudonyms [ranging
from Tommy Loo to Simon Yuen Ching to Lo Chun-Cook],
he drifted to girl gun action and horror. One of his first projects
in the director's chair was BLACK
MAGIC CURSE in 1975; he is best known for HOLY
VIRGIN VS THE EVIL DEAD, the first CAT III
film PROSTITUTES
LOVE POLICE and the lesbian revenge flickLADY
PUNISHER. He announced his retirement in 1994 due to health
problems but continued to write screenplays for another decade - usually
under the name Zhenyang Wang - and would take minor television acting
jobs for a few more years after that.
