Special Female Force is a 2016 action-comedy movie directed by Wilson Chin, based on the 1988 Hong Kong action comedy, The Inspector Wears Skirts.After a botched assignment in Thailand twenty years ago leaves most of her team dead, veteran police lieutenant Madam Fong (Jade Leung, Black Cat) is now in charge of training a new batch of recruits. In particular, a poorly-disciplined, amateurish team catches her attention, consisting of: Fa (Eliza Sam), the daughter of Fong's former - now-deceased -teammate Macy who seeks revenge for her mother's death. Cat (Cathryn Lee) an overzealous young recruit who joins the police force to spite her sexist Special Duties Unit boyfriend. Honey / Han-mui (Joyce Cheng), a chubby girl who is a school dropout intending to provide the best for her younger sisters. Ling-Ling (Anita Chui) a vain girl who was molested in school and wants to join the police to protect women. Ho (Mandy Ho Pui Man), a masculine girl who was discriminated against for being a woman and wants to prove she can do anything a man can. Tung (Jeana Ho), a determined woman who joins the police to spite her father and to prove she can be better than him.As this entire team of amateurs trains their way to the top, an old enemy of Madam Fong, assumed to be dead, resurfaces in Malaysia, and it's up to this Ragtag Bunch of Misfits to become the unlikely heroes to save the day.A sequel, Special Female Force 2: The Fatal Raid is released in 2019, with Jade Leung reprising her role. The sequel notably deals with an all-new cast and crew of characters. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: The training exercise is botched when the girls come across a real hostage situation, and while they did manage to take down the kidnappers and save all three hostages (mother and two children), Cat unintentionally wounds one of them - the mother - which results in her entire team receiving a scolding from Madam Fong, and then getting expelled from the police force. | |

Kill the Cutie: The closest this movie has to The Cutie is Han-mui, the chubby, bubbly Fat Comic Relief of the team, who is shown doting over her little sisters waiting for her at home, being caring over her teammates, and often blaming herself whenever things go wrong. So naturally she is the only member of the girls to die before the third act, for the rest of her team to stay together in order to thwart The President's plans and avenge her death. | |

Amazon Brigade: The eponymous "Special Female Force", is an all-female elite police squad. It was disbanded for years after Fong was the Sole Survivor of a mission gone wrong, and the movie follows her efforts in training a new one 20 years later. | |

| Special Female Force / int_dca70c44 | comment |
Reasonable Authority Figure: Madam Fong, despite being depicted as a Drill Sergeant Nasty throughout the movie, turns out to be supportive of Cat and her team and understanding the importance of their vigilante mission, even allowing herself to be taken hostage so that the girls can escape and pursue Lung before his terrorist unit can leave Malaysia with the virus. | |

Hanging by the Fingers | |
| Special Female Force / int_e3d1c07b | comment |
Hanging by the Fingers: Macy in the opening scene, after trying to fight Lung, to no avail and ending up being flung over a set of railings. Since Lung is the Sadist, his Hand Stomp method is to gleefully bends down to drive his knife slowly underneath Macy's fingernails, slowly tormenting her until the pain gives away causing Macy to fall to her death. In the climax, Cat ends up hanging over a tall bridge when Lung knocks her over, but Fa drags her back up in time. | |

A-Cup Angst: During the Ho vs Tung Zi fight, Tung Zi strips off her shirt to fight in a tank top, and Ho takes the opportunity to mock her for lacking in the chest area, which noticeably pisses her off. | |

Evil Old Folks | |
| Special Female Force / int_eb9afb9d | comment |
Evil Old Folks: "The President", a terrorist mastermind and leader of his own bio-terrorist syndicate, but looks like a common, harmless elderly man. In fact, in the opening scene, Madam Fong's former team mistaken him for a random bystander before suddenly realizing their Intel had it wrong, the alleged suspect they're tracking is a decoy, and this elderly man who is seen playing with children is actually the true villain. | |
