DEAD TARGET-1991-A young woman (Sharon Kwok) in Hong Kong receives a letter from her grandfather asking her to come to Thailand and bring with her a special pendant which is the key to finding a priceless crown the old man hid years before. She's fighting and on the run almost from the first time she gets off the the plane. Besides lots of fighting she also winds up dancing in a drag revue and becoming a call girl! She keeps running into a guy (Chin Siu Ho from MR. VAMPIRE) who seems to be working for a white gangster trying to find the crown. Fortunately he's actually an Interpol agent. There are a lot of fights but most of them are clever and comical. There's a shootout in a cattle car, drag queens, an elephant raid but mostly everyone fights. Apparently around this time many Hong Kong produced movies were filmed in Thailand.
Director Siu-Wah Lee may have been married to star Kwok.
Thanks for reading!!!
