The Inspector wear skirts

Tough commando Madam Hu (Sibelle Hu, My Lucky Stars) is recruited to train a hand-picked squad of policewomen to become specialists in diffusing hostage situations. Faced with the task of turning a group of pretty girls, narcissists, and nervous nellies into ideal law enforcers, she enlists the help of her comrade Madam Law (Rothrock, Above the Law) to teach the giggling girls the ropes of apprehending terrorists; it will take their combined efforts to prepare them to take on a pack of deadly jewel thieves looking to steal one of Hong Kong's most precious diamonds.

An enjoyable HK Kung-fu film, though don't expect wall-to-wall action. There's one in the beginning featuring Cynthia Rothrock, and where Sibelle and Cynthia thwart a suicide bomber with a flagpole, a three-on-one weapons encounter involving a staff, sword, and three-section nunchaku, and a daredevil stunt featuring dropkick delivered from 15 feet off the ground. Phew! In the middle of the mayhem is a typical undisciplined girls joining a Commando academy, then through trials and tribulations they become disciplined. It's quite fun with some good comic moments.
