'So Close' (2000) – Corey Yuen.

Martial arts wizard Corey Yuen's dazzlingly glossy action spectacular about three beautifully balletic pugilists is a breezy, bullet-paced, stylishly shot, high-tech female led action spectacular with sultry sibling assassins and a super svelte brainiac cop join their not inconsiderable forces to take on the increasingly murderous machinations of a sinister criminal organisation. This gleefully glamorous, sharpshooting, tantalizingly tough trio of sensuously sleek, ferociously fleet-fisted, fearlessly feisty femme fatales make Charlie's Angels look like rain drenched bagels, and the climatic, sword-slashingly savage fight with sensei Yasuaki Kurata is a martially majestic, synapse-swift knock-out to the reeling noggin! Oft imitated, but rarely matched, master Corey Yuen's genius, gravity defying, inventively insane action choreography reaches some next-level lunacy in 'So Close'! So, why drive a Vin Diesel when you can take a daredevil dive into a supersonic, head-knocking hurricane of adrenalized action with our vortex-inducing vixens of skull-smashing Kung Fu Shu Qi, Zhao Wei and Karen Mok! 'So Close' deliriously delivers aeronautically outrageous, super-slick action with a sublimely talented, steel-thewed trigger happy triumvirate of high-flying, hard-hitting heroines!

'The sultry, sublimely skilful sirens of five knuckle calamity Shu Qi, Zhao Wei and Karen Mok are whip-smart, deadly swift, and dangerously cool, if their dazzling beauty doesn't spark you out, then their lighting fast kicks will! - 'Tor Bronson @ 'The Heroic Blood Shed'
