Featured review
I remember having this on video tape in the mid 90's, when it was released in the UK during the height of the Hong Kong film craze. While I was still a young teen and only getting access to so many great titles due to labels like Made In Hong Kong, Eastern Heroes, and MIA (of which this was on), I still recognised some faces and names on the cover - and regardless, I just wanted every possible Hong Kong film I could get my hands on!
While Angel Enforcers is far from being at the top of any HK film fans list, I thoroughly enjoyed it (wearing out the aforementioned video tape eventually), and think its one of Godfrey Ho's best films. Yes, you read that right! The infamous hack n' paste director does deliver some fully fledged productions, and this fast paced, action thriller is one of them.
Feeding from the success of the popular Angel/Iron Angels series, Angel Enforcers may be more of the same, but what wasn't in the late 80's/early 90's of the Hong Kong film industry? Gilrs with guns, kicking ass was big business, and I loved the most of them that came out of it all. Ho delivers a pretty slick film, and although working off a basic plot-line of cops versus gangsters, it looks great with nice, clean cinematography and a great cast led by kung-fu queen, Sharon Yeung Pan Pan who is just brilliant.
In the bad corner is the fantastic Philip Ko and ultimate HK film bad guy, Dick Wei who are led by femme-fatale Ha Chi Jan (Eastern Condors). A host of other popular faces from that era join the ranks in the shape of Mark Houghton, Dion Lam, Paul Wong, Mike Abbott and Charlie Cho (Police Story 1 & 2) to name but a few!
Philip Ko also provides the films action choreography, mixing a healthy dose of double gun-play with tons of fight action, along with some incredible stunt work that fans expect from this period of Hong Kong action. While its not constant, its no less than what Iron Angels had offered, allowing for plenty of story and drama to move things along which all leads to the brilliantly dark, and explosive final 20 minutes of the girls versus Dick Wei (with a little bit of music from The Exorcist backing them up)...
Good production values, tight direction and decent performances from its main players makes Angel Enforcers an underrated classic of the Battling Babes genre, and of Hong Kong cinema!
Overall: A dark and action-packed thriller, Angel Enforcers is one of Godfrey Ho's finest...
