The Synopsis
Fu Pui-yu directs this low-budget, critically panned Hong Kong knockoff of Charlie's Angels, about a shadowy figure named Charlie who dictates over a trio of voluptuous crime-fighters named Sunny (Jade Leung Ching), Moony (Christine Ng Wing-mei), and Starry (Paulyn Suen Kai-kwun). While being followed by nebbish journalist Bob (Michael Chow Man-kin) and coping with their own personal issues, the three are being targeted by Andy, a crazed arms-dealer who is seeking vengeance on Charlie for the death of his wife following a particularly ugly FBI raid years previous. Since Charlie's a hard man to find, the villain takes his wrath out on his friends and employees -- especially his three angels.
