Killer Angels, also known as Megaforce or Ultra Force, is a 1989 Girls with Guns action movie, made after the success of Iron Angels, starring Moon Lee, Gordon Liu and Nadeki Fujimi. Made when the GWG-genre is about to take off, it's among the earlier Angel-themed action movies made at the time and starts the ball rolling with 90s Hong Kong cinema's obsession with gun-totting girls in action films.When multiple crime bosses ends up being murdered and a suspect - creatively named Jackie Chan, no not this one - who can help uncover the activities of a human trafficking ring ends up being targeted, a trio of lethal ladies from elite special forces, consisting of bespectacled strategist Rosa, sharpshooter Yau-li/Yolanda, and rough, brutish fighter with a troubled past Amy, is assigned to guard him. But Yau-li ends up discovering the killer isn't who he really seems.A sequel of sorts is released two months later. Titled Devil Hunters, known internationally as Megaforce 2 or Ultra Force 2, the sequel inexplicably has a brand-new, entirely original storyline, despite sharing the same director and main actor. Moon Lee is back, but this time the all-new cast includes Sibelle Hu playing the usual cowboy-cop persona she is usually known for at the time, Alex Man as Moon and Sibelle's supervisor, Ray Lui (who would later co-star alongside Moon in Fatal Termination) as the son of a mobster seeking revenge, and old school Shaw Brothers badass Michael Chan (fittingly enough, since Killer Angels has another Shaw Brothers alumni, Gordon Liu).The second movie has Moon playing a new character, Chun-bing, a con artist with a mysterious past, who is neither affiliated with the police or the mob. A top police enforcer, Inspector Tung (Sibelle) is investigating triad activities, the son of a rival triad leader Chai-yuet (Ray) is trying to avenmge his father's death, while a retired mobster Yin-fu (Michael Chan) who is friends with Chun-bing's father ends up being dragged into a smuggling incident led by triad boss Shing. Somehow, this leads to an explosive-laden finale with various characters on different sides with completely different affiliations working together to take down hordes and hordes of mobsters.Devil Hunters is especially notorious for an on-set accident when filming it's final scene, as seen here (further details explained in TRIVIA). | |

That Reminds Me of a Song | |
| Killer Angels / int_1ab65185 | comment |
That Reminds Me of a Song: Roughly thirteen minutes into this action film, suddenly the movie segues into a rather lengthy (but still awesome) musical number of Yau-li performing in a nightclub. Justified that she is infiltrating the mob while posing as a singer, but it still comes a little out of nowhere. The song she performs in the movie itself, "Betray" by Chai Li, a.k.a. Cherrie Choi, does replay during the end credits though. | |

Unknown Rival: The only member of the Blue Angels trio Michael gets to interact with is protagonist Yau-li, and he have absolutely zero knowledge on Amy and Rosa even as they raid his boss' hideout in the finale. In fact, the first and only interaction between Amy and Michael is him shooting her casually. | |

The Cavalry Arrives Late: Downplayed, by the time the police arrives to reinforce the Blue Angels, they have already killed majority of the syndicate's mooks, at the cost of Amy and Michael dying. But the police managed to arrest any remaining mooks still alive, and stop Yau-li from killing the syndicate leader by capturing him alive. | |

Please Kill Me if It Satisfies You: When Michael's betrayal is eventually exposed by Fujimi, an enraged Fujimi threatens to expose him, asking him if he knows what the syndicate does to traitors. Michal's response is to give his Hand Cannon to Fujimi and walk away. He didn't count on Yau-li suddenly arriving and shooting Fujimi, before the latter can shoot him, though. | |

Actor Allusion | |
| Killer Angels / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: Yau-li, being played by Moon Lee, is once again a secret agent of an elite special forces unit sent to investigate criminal activities, culminating in her taking on an entire army of mobsters, much like her breakthrough role from Iron Angels. In fact Moon Lee's character is pretty much an Expy of her prior role, sharing the same actress, attitude, persona and such. | |

Man on Fire: In the final scene as the three protagonists made a leap off an exploding balcony, Chun-bing and Inspector Tung have their clothing catching fire and is burning all the way as they fell. Tung (Sibelle) is notably shrouded in flames. It turns out this was unintentional, and the actors are accidentally set on fire in real life due to the pyrotechnics being poorly-timed. | |

Conveniently Timed Attack from Behind: During the night infiltration scene, Yau-li gets to beat up a score of mooks when one of them tries swinging a pick from behind her. Rosa sniped that last mook with her crossbow. Just as Fujimi is about to shoot Michael In the Back as he walks away, Yau-li shoots Fujimi first. The latter Dies Wide Open without even realizing who shot her. | |

Beauty, Brains and Brawn | |
| Killer Angels / int_aff29d6f | comment |
Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: Played straight for the three main characters, member of the Blue Angels. Beauty: Yau-li / Yolanda, most feminine of the trio, a long-haired Girly Bruiser who gets to go undercover as a singer during her undercover assignment, but when it comes to taking names she is a devil with a machine gun. Brains: Rosa, Yolanda's bespectacled sidekick, strategist, and partner who backs her up during infiltrations and assists in planning the mission. Brawn: Amy, eldest of the trio, fights first, asks questions later, and can beat up mooks with ease. | |

In Love with the Mark | |
| Killer Angels / int_bd620d3c | comment |
In Love with the Mark: It comes as no surprise that Michael would eventually fall for Yau-li, and that Michael's superiors would eventually order him to execute every member of the Blue Angels. | |

Fan Disservice: Candy's Cold-Blooded Torture scene involves her getting stripped down to her underwear and having bags of insects and leeches emptied on her naked skin while she is all tied up. She gets gang-raped for good measure. | |

Shout-Out | |

Shout-Out: The name of the suspect that the Blue Angels are supposed to bodyguard throughout most of the movie? "Jackie Chan". The entire movie simply refers to him as "Jackie", however. | |

Taking You with Me: Shing, choosing to blow up a set of gas tanks rather than facing arrest from the protagonists. He ultimately fails as Chun-bing, Inspector Tung and Chai-yuet performs a Super Window Jump out of an exploding balcony. | |

| Killer Angels / int_df410b77 | comment |
Decoy Protagonist: Yin-fu gets plenty of screentime and development early on, being hyped as a former mobster and a badass. And he proves himself to be a really dangerous foe as well, launching a one-man assault on Shing's mob. But after Yin-fu dies the story continues without him. | |

Camping a Crapper: One of Michael's hits in his introduction scene is an unfortunate mobster he garrotes behind a urinal, before dragging the victim to a bathroom stall for him to finish off via stabbing. | |

Attack Hello | |
| Killer Angels / int_fbcd6465 | comment |
Attack Hello: The moment Amy sees Jackie, the suspect she's supposed to bodyguard, the first thing she did is to confront him in a kitchen and kick the snot out of him, with Yau-li and Rosa trying their best to hold Amy back as she tries to beat Jackie to death. The reason is that Amy recognizes Jackie as an accomplice to Chico, the same man who shot her son and tried to kill her 3 years ago. | |
