Too many fans seem to be blown away

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Low-budget and rather sloppy Asian actioner, about a gorgeous woman cop on the run with the gorgeous hooker she has made into an informant, evading both the crooks and the corrupt cops who have betrayed them. The numerous Jackie Chan-styled action scenes are great, benefiting from Corey Yuen's experience as action director for Jet Li and others, and the two girls who kick ass throughout the film and wonderful to watch. It's a worthwhile entertainment for this sort of film, but doesn't try to add anything new to the formula, and the direction (by Corey Yuen, co-directing for the first time, with David Lai) doesn't really lend itself to coherency either.

While there is much to be desired in terms of plot, 'Women on the Run' delivers plenty of action, good performances from the female leads and enough violence and nudity to deserve it's category III rating. It concerns the plight of two women who both find themselves betrayed by the men they love. It's a violent female 'buddy' movie, with two mismatched heroines, a policewoman (Cheung) & a drug addicted prostitute(Guo) joining forces to gain revenge. It was nice though to see the women given the bulk of the action as no male 'love interest' appears halfway through the movie to protect the leads and hog the action. The fights themselves are plentiful & very well done. Cheung is an effective fighter & Tamara Guo briefly fights naked twice, firstly handing a short beating out to a disrespectful client and later as she unsuccessfully fights off a horde of rapists. One thing which can be disliked about Cat III movies is the rape of women seems to a standard plot device however lethal the women may be. Cheung & Guo defeat legions of guys before and after the gang rape but become weak victims as soon as the guys unzip their pants (thankfully the rape is not shown). Despite the proficiency of Cheung & Guo, the standout performer is the villain 'King Kong', played by Jeung Yuen, who is incredible in a fight with the female leads.Now available on DVD, 'Women on the Run' is trashy, sleazy late night fare, but highly recommended!.

Perfect example of a bad Hong Kong film: cheap & trashy. Boosts one cool stunt at the beginning and a nice fight scene at the end, but the rest is terrible. Some ridiculous attempts to add a feminist touch to the film.

I Saw this movie in an outdoor theatre in Bobo-Diaolassou (that's in West Africa) It was dubbed into English with French subtitles going from left to right and Arabic from right to left. The most entertaining part was comparing the English to the French. At one point the Chief laments "They shot your d*** off!!" While the French subtitle reads "I'm so sorry!"
