This rare title is very difficult to get hold off. I saw this almost 18 years ago on tape. "Iron Angels 3" belongs to the "Girls with Guns" genre. Typical HK action flicks in which women kick ass big time! Wonderful shootouts and excellent martial arts. Pay special attention to the scene in the train that obvious is a tribute to the famous fight scene in "From Russia with Love". But personally I liked this better because you have the pretty Moon Lee fighting this other beautiful(killer) woman. As with most of the movies in this genre the plot is simple and not very important. It is all about the action and which you get plenty off. "Iron Angels 3" is without a doubt one of the best titles that this genre has to offer! That's why it is very strange that they did not mass produced this on DVD. Warning: Do not confuse this movie with "Charlie's Angels". "Iron Angels 3" also consists of humor but the action scenes are definitely hardcore.
It was Ok, with the humor scenes missing by a mile while the action scenes were well done.The leading man was well dubbed, but his side kick was such a relentless pain in the backside that it almost ruined the movie. Definitively an upgrade from the Godfrey Ho films coming out at that time. There are a few excellent battles and a couple of Kung Foo scenes that go on too long of course, but it is definitely worth watching with the lady's being so so at best.
I had higher expectations for this film after reading some of the good reviews, unfortunately it was a big letdown for me.
For those of you, like me, that like classic fu movies, you probably won't especially like this. I should have paid more attention to some of the other reviewers comments about "scenes taken from Bond movies" and "jetpacks with endless ammo machine guns".
Surprising to me, this movie has a higher rating than Lady Whirlwind and other female lead role fu films. I would rather watch The Lady Constables...
I would give this 3 stars just for making it all the way through. Then again... I doubt I would ever watch it again. I found it boring.

In this third installment of Teresa Woo's seminal Girls with Guns franchise, only Moon Lee, Alex Fong and Kharina Sa return from the previous film (with only the former two having starred in all three films) as the titular 'Angels', an elite task force that rids the world of assassins, dictators and terrorists. This time, Moon has to infiltrate a terrorist organization bent on starting a war between Thailand and Vietnam. She succeeds but has to leave her tracking device behind, so that Alex & Kharina, assisted by Thai agent Kwai (Ralph Chen) and a bony gweilo nicknamed Computer, are left running across Bangkok trying to locate her.
Moon Lee is oddly sidelined in this sequel, but with whatever scenes there are of her, she lays waste to countless machete or fan-dab sword-wielding opponents with her bare hands or a nunchaku. She's a particularly fast-mover, and Alex Fong is no slouch in that score - there's an arresting yet protracted Muay Thai fight in the ring. The plot itself is simple, a little weak, and it's not too engaging, but it's still passable enough. Check out the finale, it's really OTT with so much carnage and the heroes coming down via jet pack indicates it's oddness.

'Iron Angels III: The Return of the Iron Angels' (1989) - Teresa Woo.
The indomitable iron-fisted trio of Kung Fu fabulous crime fighters once again display their pugilistic prowess in exotic Thailand, forcefully tackling yet another bloodthirsty despot. These preternaturally agile screen heroes are uncommonly likable characters, with Moon Lee being a personal favourite. She is a devilishly cute, fiendishly gifted screen-fighter, a charismatic,incredibly versatile actor who is never less than a delight to behold! Moon Lee fans can rejoice as Iron Angels 3's thrilling opening act gives the luminous Moon plenty of room to shine as she infiltrates said terrorist cabal, assuming the covert identity of a notorious Japanese assassin! The gorgeously sun-dappled Thai locations are quite lovely, our super-athletic agents prove more than a match for the boggle-eyed villainy, and Moon Lee's dazzlingly quicksilver fights are spectacular! This is another top notch installment of the hugely entertaining HK action franchise, highlights include Alex Fong's hard-won battle with ferocious Thai Kick-boxing legend (Panna Rittikrai), and the kinetic, wildly OTT,motocross riding, jet-pack jetting, bullet-shredded climax is sublimely hectic!
