This movie comes out two years before Film/HardBoiled, by the way. John Woo is probably a fan of this film.

* HateSink: James’ unnamed brother-in-law, a lousy, pathetic scum of a person. He is a racecar driver who neglects and [[DomesticAbuser abuses his wife]], which James finds out when realizing his little sister have bruises on her face. Being an irresponsible husband and pretty much TheMillstone, this asshole willingly loans his vehicle for drug trafficking for a quick profit, while keeping all his illegal activities a secret, and when he failed to deliver the drugs as promised, he instead tried making a run for it, causing his poor wife to become the scapegoat when gangsters after him ends up abducting '''her''' instead. While far from the BigBad, he is unquestionably the character easiest to hate in the film.

!!This movie contains examples of:

* ActionGirl: Inspector Tequila, played by Yukari Oshima, who delivers asskickings in spades.
* BackToBackBadasses: James and Tequila when fighting hordes of mooks.
* {{BFS}}: One of Miego’s CoDragons uses a giant Chinese ''dao'' as his WeaponOfChoice.
* BigBad: Miego, played by Oshima’s fellow Japanese 90s ActionGirl icon and frequent asskicker, Michiko Nishiwaki.
* BigBrotherInstinct: James, who stalks and threatens to beat up his brother-in-law when realizing his little sister is a victim of domestic abuse.
* BoundAndGagged: Miego’s eventual fate after being defeated and arrested by the police. Tequila forgot to bring her handcuffs.
* CombatHandFan: Miego’s [[TheDragon dragon]] uses a metal fan as his WeaponOfChoice. In his final confrontation with Tequila, she managed to hijack this weapon and use it to [[HoistByHisOwnPetard stab his own throat instead]].
* CowboyCop: A rare female example with Inspector Tequila.
* HateSink: James’ unnamed brother-in-law, a lousy, pathetic scum of a person. He is a racecar driver who neglects and [[DomesticAbuser abuses his wife]], which James finds out when realizing his little sister have bruises on her face. Being an irresponsible husband and pretty much TheMillstone, this asshole willingly loans his vehicle for drug trafficking for a quick profit, while keeping all his illegal activities a secret, and when he failed to deliver the drugs as promised, he instead tried making a run for it, causing his poor wife to become the scapegoat when gangsters after him ends up abducting '''her''' instead. While far from the BigBad, he is unquestionably the character easiest to hate in the film.
* IHaveYourWife: More like I Have Your Sister. When James’ younger sister (no thanks to her husband, the aforementioned human-shaped piece of filth above) ends up being abducted by Miego and her mooks, its up to James and Tequila to go on a RoaringRampageOfRescue.
* ImprovisedWeapon: In the final brawl, James uses a broom to defend himself against the BFS-wielding henchman. And wins!
* LadderTipping: Briefly in the final fight. Tequila, on a higher platform, briefly kicks over a ladder that a thug is using to climb towards her knocking out said thug.
* MasterOfUnlocking: James, who unlocks a door at one point using a safety pin and screwdriver combo.
* PunnyName: James and Bond? [[Film/JamesBond *insert Bond theme here*]]
* RuleOfPool: Initially averted during the mansion fight, where there is a swimming pool in the courtyard where Tequila and James are fighting off mooks. But quickly played straight after the fight, when James accidentally caused Tequila to end up in the pool.
* SheCleansUpNicely: Tequila, who looks absolutely stunning in a low-cleavage long dress when not in ass-kicking mode.
* SkewedPriorities: In the middle of an intense fight against a bunch of machete-wielding mooks, Tequila and James ends up stumbling into each other… and Tequila briefly scolds James for accidentally touching her boobs.
* SlapSlapKiss: Happens constantly between Tequila and James, but eventually at the beach scene James pretty much stopped retaliating and let Tequila use him as a punching bag.
* WaifFu: Tequila and Miego both uses this style in their fight scenes.
* WorkoutFanservice: A rather sweaty Yukari Oshima in [[https://i2.kknews.cc/SIG=pod5eo/61690005p5nqps7515n7.jpg sports bra, yoga pants and covered in sweat]]. Aw yeah!
** In fact a later Yukari Oshima movie, ''Framed'' , would also feature her in this sort of attire. These Hong Kong action movies '''really''' knows how to entertain an audience…
