"An action comedy starring the utterly charismatic Sibelle Hu and Cynthia Rothrock, this film follows a squad of female police officers fighting misogyny and bad guys. Produced by Jackie Chan, this film is a hilarious good time, with jaw-dropping action from the Golden Harvest team (Jeffrey Falcon fighting in monkey style Kung Fu is worth the ticket price alone). Hong Kong’s answer to Police Academy. Demands to be seen on the big screen. " - Nida Manzoor, Chicks, Kicks & Flicks season curator and director of Polite Society

After an incident involving a sheikh’s wife, the Hong Kong police decide to create a female SWAT team, with officer Wu (Sibelle Hu) in charge of training the new recruits. This crack squad of officers find themselves facing harassment and lack of respect from their male colleagues, despite tackling foes from terrorists to jewel thieves. An entertaining blend of slapstick comedy with high-impact action, this flick delivers a great twist on the Police Academy tradition.
