Another senseless movie featuring the dreaded Twins, here shoehorned into a sequel to BLACK ROSE II, made some ten years after the last. Teresa Mo essays the role of the retired superhero/crime fighter, but this is very much the Twins show, given over almost entirely to their own unique brand of mugging/non-acting. Directed by Donnie Yen, it has a cheap, slapdash approach, with dreadful FX and unfunny humour, and seems merely to exist to reference such things as CHARLIE'S ANGELS, THE MATRIX, THE POWERPUFF GIRLS, BATMAN and KILL BILL. The only good bits are a decent Ekin Cheng, a nice homage to DRUNKEN MASTER, and a henchman role for Donnie's own sister, who proves surprisingly adept.
