(Synopsis) The Pink Squad is comprised of four strong, tough women (Sandra Ng, Ann Bridgewater, Suki Kwan in her film debut, and Elsie Chan) who do their police work efficiently and successfully. As a result, their chauvinistic superiors in the police department are always scheming to try and get them fired.

One of their ideas is to arrange for the Pink Squad to maintain surveillance on a blind musician suspected of being an accomplice in a diamond robbery. The chief suspect (a deadly female criminal) and the musician were both injured in an auto accident in the aftermath of the robbery. The musician was blinded and the woman was left in a coma. She has recently awakened, though, and escaped from the hospital. The cowed male cops think that they can sabotage the Pink Squad and then be rid of them forever.

This is a real blast from the past by director Jeff Lau. It's only the fourth film he directed (before All for the Winner, The Eagle Shooting Heroes, and the Chinese Odyssey films) and it's uneven and filled with rough edges. Still, if you approach it with lowered expectations you may be pleasantly surprised by the winning combination of comedy and action (more comedy in the first half, more action in the second half).
