Note de neoprene
No, it's not one of Hong Kong's best films. But yes, it's watchable, although the plot goes downhill the very same second the girls in their makeshift boot camp grow up.
There are interesting fight scenes, with decent wire work. But that's pretty much all the film has going for it - the fight scenes, and the boot camp before the girls grow up and the plot line goes absurd.
If you must watch it, avoid the cheesy, badly translated, and mutilated script of the English dubbed version. Watch it in Cantonese with English subtitles. The English dub isn't the least bit watchable. In Cantonese with subtitles, it's at least bearable.

I thought I'd stumbled upon another cheesy movie. But no, this is one of the good ones. As a matter of fact, I'm surprised why it's getting such a low rating.
Sam Simms (Sinbad) is hired to be the personal Secret Service agent of the President's son Luke Davenport (Brock Pierce), after the current agent got fired. No wonder, too, because Luke is a pain in the neck who pulls all kinds of stunts and practical jokes - for fun or for attention? You'll find out.
Sinbad and Brock Pierce work wonderfully together, and the scenes with the two of them are good. The scenes with them and Dash (Blake Boyd) are even better. I must say that I particularly liked Dash's (however brief) dancing outside the school hall - seem familiar? Oh, yes.
They could have left out the kidnapping plot, but it does make for an interesting addition.
A great movie. Worth the rental.

I caught this movie on TV, and in the opening credits, with all the Chinese names, I thought, "Ooh, excellent, a Chinese martial-arts movie."
And, yes, it is a Chinese martial-arts movie, but with an added twist - it's filmed in Rome! The grandson of the president of a petroleum company is kidnapped, and the kidnappers want 10 million dollars worth of ransom money. The boy's grandfather wants his grandson back, but he doesn't want to pay up. So, he hires detectives to get the boy back.
Three Western detectives have a go at it - and fail miserably, with comedy. After the third fails, they go have a meal at a Chinese restaurant, lamenting at how they failed to get the boy back. Then suddenly they see two of the young waiters playfully throwing lethal-looking martial arts moves at each other, and sign the elder one up to "make some money" - in other words, get the boy back before his ear gets cut off.
The movie is excellent, with action and comedy thrown in together very well. But I would have liked the Western actors' speech to have been retained with subtitles, rather than dubbed over in Cantonese.
Excellent, but not necessarily mind-blowingly terrific. Quite worth my time.
