Kitty (Chingmy Yau) has just killed the man (Ken Lo) who has killed her
father after having had sex with her stepmother, but now she's on the run
from the deceased's security and badly injured. But when she finally
collapses, she is saved by Sister Cindy (Kelly Yao), who later turns out
to be a professional hitwoman who wants to make Kitty her successor. Before
having turned killer, Kitty was in a relationship with cop Tinam (Simon
Yam), incidently the man who now investigates several murders she and
Sister Cindy have committed as hitwomen. Tinam has also never stopped
looking for Kitty, and now he finds her again while on the job. Thing is,
she claims not to be who she is and has papers to prove it, and her
fingerprints don't match those of Kitty either (they were surgically
altered) - yet all this doesn't keep Tinam from believing she is Kitty
despite everything. Enter Princess (Carrie Ng), lesbian hitwoman and
former student of Sister Cindy, who has now been hired to kill her. Much
to the dismay of her sidekick Baby (Madoka Sugawara), Princess also wants
to make Kitty her new partner once Sister Cindy is out of the way. Sister
Cindy couldn't help noticing Kitty has just fallen in love with Tinam
again, so she sends her away before Princess attacks and manages to kill
her, but when Kitty realizes what has been going on, she fights it out
with Princess and Baby head-on, with Tinam guarding her back, and she and
Tinam take out all the baddies. When the police arrives to arrest them
though, they prefer to blow themselves up to be together for all eternity.
By many, this film is considered a Hong Kong classic, which it simply
is not, as the film is rather blandly directed, its action setpieces are
competently staged but lack even a spark of originality, and its plot
continuously borders the ridiculous. What the film is though is high
gloss sleaze, and despite the relative lack of nudity considering the
title a puerile wet dream come to life - and as such, the film is pretty
funny (and intentionally so it seems), to a point where the ridiculousness
of the plot becomes one of its key qualities: Everything is so far-fetched
and over-the-top here that within its very own logic the film makes sense
again. All of this still doesn't make the film a classic of course, but
at least great fun to watch ...
