Kun is the second in command of a triad gang and loyal to the Big Boss who is in hiding in Taiwan. Another member of the gang - Cripple Ho - but don't call him that to his face - sees this as an opportunity to take over the gang. But he needs a list of the members and only Kun has it on his Wang computer. So Cripple Ho breaks into Kun's apartment and brutalizes him and his wife to get the list - but Kun has given the list and his 16 year old daughter Ling Ling to the girlfriend of the Big Boss to safeguard. Ho figures this out and most of the rest of the film is him and his gang tracking them down and the film turns into a Perils of Pauline scenario as they escape time after time. It gets off to a rip roaring start but settles into a slow jog in the second half before it picks up with a big finish in which barrels of oil just happen to be strategically positioned for a whole lot of explosions leaving a room full of dead bad guys.



This low budget fairly obscure film from Hong Kong has a few well-known names in cameo plus roles but the two main female leads are not headliners. The Boss's girlfriend is Ching played by Mondy Yau who was in a bunch of films in the first half of the 90's before she sort of faded out and she never shied away from some passionate love scenes - two here. She is fine as a hard bitten gangster moll in a tight black mini-skirt who refuses to give in and give up the girl and the names. In one scene a man exposes himself to Ling Ling and Mondy beats the crap out of him and screams at him as he runs away "Don't you ever show me your little thing again".


Cripple Ho is portrayed by perennial bad guy Lung Fong and in small roles are Lo Lieh as Ling Ling's father, Wu Ma as Ching's uncle and William Ho who has played his share of psychos and triad bosses is the taxi driver. It is not a film I would go out of my way to see but if you trip it over why not. Hong Kong has made a few excellent Women on the Run films and this one isn't bad. The writer of the script is Carol Lai who later went on to direct two good films - Glass Tears and The Floating Landscape.
