What I like about this show, besides the fighting scenes, is that it is one of the rare shows that Brigitte Lin acts very human just like the rest of us.  She does not necessarily make good choices in work or friends.  It also shows her fear of being killed.  Most of her movies shows her as someone who is prepared to die for her country, her man or her beliefs and very rarely changes her loyalty.  In this show, she as Salina Fong is prepared to work with the police when she finds out that her boss (also family friend) is prepared to kill her without trusting or checking her loyalty.  She was prepared to do the loyal act for her boss but it was unrequited.  Brigitte displays courage as she has to do some stunts too especially the stunt when she falls onto a glass table and the cabinet and it breaks (see the last 2 pictures on this page).  Jackie plays Kevin, a police officer assigned to protect and obtain criminating information from Brigitte's triad boss.  Maggie plays Kevin's girlfriend May who became jealous when Jackie brought Brigitte home.  Bill Tung is Inspector Wong and Lam Kwok Hung is Superintendent Lee.

Brigitte was a nominee in the Best Actress category for the 5th HK Film Awards in 1985.
