''Mission of Justice'' is a 1992 GirlsWithGuns action movie, starring girls-with-guns regulars Creator/MoonLee and Creator/YukariOshima, as well as Carrie Ng (from ''Film/NakedKiller'').

When a Hong Kong arms dealer only identified as Somi escapes to the Golden Triangle in South-East Asia to establish an alliance with a drug lord, two military agents from Hong Kong, Moon (Moon Lee) and Bullet (Yukari Oshima) are dispatched to assist with his arrest.

In a somewhat rare departure from their usual character archetypes, despite having Moon Lee and Yukari Oshima in the same movie, this time however Oshima is the one who plays the ditzy, klutzy valley girl partner to Moon Lee, unusual considering Oshima is generally considered the more tomboyish among the two.
