This film is an example of Hong Kong [[Wuxia]], [[Wire Fu]], and [[Heroic Bloodshed]]. The three main characters form a [[Power Trio]] of [[Action Girl|Action Girls]]. The [[Rule of Cool]] helps to excuse some of the more over-the-top action sequences. The fight scenes are all highly choreographed [[Unnecessary Combat Roll|whirling mayhem]] filmed with sweeping tracking shots and plenty of ringing and swishing sound effects. |
