''Dreaming the Reality'' is a 1991 Hong Kong GirlsWithGuns action film, starring Moon Lee (''Film/IronAngels''), Yukari Oshima (''Film/RikiOhTheStoryOfRicky'') and Sibelle Hu. An unusually deep crime thriller, the movie touches on topics like amnesia, moralities, code of honor among assassins and criminals, and of course, action starring ass-kicking girls of action cinema.
Silver Fox (Moon Lee) and Kat (Yukari Oshima) are sisters raised in a triad by their adoptive father Master Fuk (Eddie Ko, ''Film/HeroesShedNoTears''), where ever since they are children they are trained to be killers. Raised to be murder-machines, the girls' first assassination goes horribly wrong when an explosive trap meant for their targets ends up destroying a bus full of children, at which point Fox develops a conscience.

The plot starts off in a rather complicated way, but as the film approaches its final act, the action starts piling up with its explosive-laden finale. So, so, so much explosions.
----
!!''Dreaming the Reality'' contains examples of:
* AccidentalMurder: The ActionPrologue have Kat and Fox setting up a BoobyTrap for assassinating their target, by taking out a car full of triad bodyguards and shooting up the second car with their subsequent ambush. Unfortunately, a school bus full of children suddenly turns up from an adjacent junction and activates their explosive trap. Whoops.
* ActionGirl: This is a Girl-with-guns film, after all. We have assassins Fox and Kat, and ex-cop Sister Lan.
* BatmanInMyBasement: Sister Yan and Rocky had to let Fox, an assassin and killing machine who had amnesia, stay in their home while Fox tries to regain her memory. Including hiding her from the police whom are hunting the assassins responsible for the airport shootout and preventing Kat from finding them or risk getting killed by Kat.
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Averted, Kat, Fox and Sister Lan gets roughed up several times in the direct, hand-to-hand action scenes. Calling [[UnkemptBeauty Sibelle Hu’s Sister Lan]] beauty is a bit of a stretch though, but she does get beaten up rather badly when she tries taking on another kickboxer and can be seen with bruises on her face afterwards.
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Master Fuk’s syndicate has been overthrown, the deaths of Kat and Rocky is avenged, but Fox and Sister Lan ends up being arrested for the murders they’ve committed in the ending shootout]]. Cue credits, the movie just ends at that point.
* BoobyTrap: Fox’s specialty, which allows her to install explosive traps in various corners. While her first trap in the ActionPrologue GoneHorriblyWrong, later in the finale her traps (with Sister Lan’s assistance) have improved considerably and takes out mooks by the dozens.
* BringMeMyBrownPants: A drug trade gone wrong halfway have a thug intimidating the dealer by firing a pistol near where his crotch is. Cue waterfall of piss.
* CeilingCling: Kat, getting the drop on some rival drug dealers by sneaking upon them while hanging from the ceiling.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: In the airport scene depicting Kat and Fox arriving in Thailand from Hong Kong, both ladies are in BadassLongcoat and CoolShades, but Kat’s longcoat is entirely black, while Fox’s is completely white. [[spoiler: It subtly foreshadows Fox still having some goodness in her, which facilitates her eventual HeelFaceTurn, while Kat on the other hand remains a cold-blooded assassin and ends up dying a villain]].
* DestinationDefenestration: As expected from these kinds of films. Extras gets kicked and punched into objects, from furniture to glass panels and windows.
* DueToTheDead: Before the climax, there is a funeral scene dedicated to [[spoiler: Kat and Rocky, attended by Fox and Sister Lan, complete with crosses erect on their graves. His grave is marked by his boxing gloves, while hers is marked by the pendant she always wears]].
* DyingDeclarationOfLove: [[spoiler: Rocky’s last words to Fox, while succumbing from a gunshot injury, is to confess his true feelings to Fox. He dies soon after]].
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: Master Fok, the triad leader and adoptive father of Kat and Fox, is frequently seen smoking a large stogie. Meanwhile, Sister Lan, the ex-cop who took Fox in and help her regain her humanity, is also a smoker, although she uses more conventional Malboros.
* GroinAttack: In her first scene, Sister Lan is shown arm-wrestling a bigger and stronger opponent in a bar, where the surrounding crowd is betting ''against'' her. Being a CombatPragmatist, Sister Lan instead decides to kick her opponent's nuts from below the table and win the match.
** [[spoiler: Fox briefly did this to Kat, in the inevitable scene where they are forced to fight each other]].
* HandcuffedBriefcase: Kat and Fox in the airport assassination scene had to recover a valuable BriefcaseFullOfMoney which is handcuffed to their target. After the assassination, Kat removes the target’s arm from the wrist (by shooting it, which somehow unlocks the cuffs) and Fox retrieves it, handcuffing the case to herself while fleeing the authorities on motorcycles.
* IdentityAmnesia: Fox, after the airport assassination goes awry and she gets flung into a river, hitting her head and forgetting she is an assassin in the process. [[spoiler: She [[EasyAmnesia regains her memory]] just in time for the final shootout]].
* IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim: In the final shootout, [[spoiler: Sister Lan and Fox have killed off every one of Master Fuk’s henchmen, including TheDragon, and have wounded Master Fuk. Fuk prepares to FaceDeathWithDignity, but Fox simply tells him he’s NotWorthKilling and convince Sister Lan to spare him instead, just in time as the police arrive to arrest him for his crimes]].
* InfantImmortality: Averted to hell and back in the opening scene, see AccidentalMurder.
* ItsPersonalWithTheDragon: Well, for Fox, it certainly is, [[spoiler: because TheDragon is responsible for Rocky’s death]]. Subverted that [[spoiler: in the end, its Sister Lan who ultimately kills him, not Fox]].
* LeapAndFire: Fox does this frequently, especially after [[spoiler: regaining her memory]] and leaping out to gun down some mooks threatening Sister Lan. It was at this point Lan realizing she’s harboring a killing machine in her house.
* AMinorKidroduction: The opening scene depicts Fox and Kat, as little girls, shooting glass bottles while being tutored by Master Fuk. And AgeCut later segues them into young women in a ShootingGallery prepping for their first assassination mission.
* MotorMouth: Sister Lan, when attempting to question Fox (who just regained consciousness but still amnesiac after falling into a river) on her identity.
--> '''Sister Lan''': "Let’s not beat around the bush here. What’s your name? How old are you? What are you? How did you get wounded? Why are the police after you? Say it!"
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Fox’s reaction in the opening scene, realizing her trap had accidentally killed off a bus full of children. But Kat on the other hand [[EmotionlessGirl doesn’t even flinch]] and continues her killing spree as usual.
* NiceGuy: Rocky, a pretty chill guy who insists for Sister Lan to allow the amnesiac Fox to stay at their place and acts friendly with her while she’s trying to regain her memory. [[spoiler: Too bad theis is where the trope NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished kicks in]]…
* NothingLeftToDoButDie: Invoked before the final shootout. [[spoiler: After Kat and Rocky’s deaths, Fox and Sister Lan contemplates on what else they should do next. Sister Lan reveals that her family is entirely dead, and Rocky, much like Kat to Fox, is her only living relative, so with nothing else left to lose they ultimately decide to confront Master Fuk for their final RoaringRampageOfRevenge]].
* OneHitPolykill: Happens constantly in the final shootout. Sister Lan and Fox can kill up to three mooks at a time, despite firing only one shot.
* ParentalSubstitute: Sister Lan to her brother Rocky, a kickboxer, whom she is a caretaker, agent and representative for.
* PineappleSurprise: Sister Lan, after being intimidated by a group of thugs which she is sorely outnumbered, suddenly reveals she had a grenade whose pin is removed, and is threatening to throw if they do not back off. It works.
** [[spoiler: She did it again in the finale, during her personal confrontation with TheDragon, where she avenged Rocky’s death by shoving a grenade into her opponent’s coat without the pin. Cue LudicrousGibs]].
* RedOniBlueOni: Kat being the red, Fox being blue.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler: What sets off the climax for Fox and Sister Lan to attack Master Fuk and his mooks directly, to avenge those closest to them. Fox for her sister Kat, and Sister Lan for her brother Rocky]].
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Sister Lan tries to go on a boxing rink fight on behalf of Rocky to convince him to get his boxing contract cancelled for his own good, only to find out Rocky’s opponent is a hulking, plus-sized foreigner with loads and loads of {{Kevlard}}. After a minute of fighting she promptly jumps out of the ring, but the opponent fighter chases her through the crowd while shouting for her to get back.
* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: Sister Lan's preferred weapon in the climax, which she used to mow down lots of baddies.
* ShootingGallery: Happens in the opening scene where Kat and Fox, now adults, are practicing their shooting on targets before carrying their first hit.
* StaircaseTumble: Happens during the airport hit, when Fox assassinates two bodyguards on top of an escalator where both of them ends up rolling down all the way.
** [[spoiler: Fox herself suffers this fate after revealing that she no longer desires to be an assassin, when she gets shot non-fatally and tumbles down a long flight of stairs of a temple]].
* TheseHandsHaveKilled: [[spoiler: Fox, after expertly killing several mooks and regaining her memory, suddenly questions what had she become as a murderer, while confessing to Rocky and Sister Lan who she really is]].
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Yukari Oshima’s Kat is the tomboy; Moon Lee’s Fox is the feminine girl. They both kick tons of ass though.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Inevitably, the DesignatedGirlFight of the movie turns out to be [[spoiler: between Kat and Fox, the former trying to kill the latter, whom had just recovered from her amnesia, for defecting from the assassination syndicate]].
* WouldHitAGirl: Sister Lan’s hulking opponent in the boxing ring. He even swears as her ("Bitch!") while delivering a MegatonPunch at her face, but she gets back soon enough. [[spoiler: And wins]].
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Goodbye, [[spoiler: Kat]]. What’s even worse is that its Master Fuk, her own adoptive father, who is responsible for her demise!
