On a rooftop in the middle of a thick urban forest of skyscrapers, the Mantis gang, living legends of the underworld, is engaged in a bloody battle with rival gang members. When things are looking very bad for the Mantis gang, a deafening roar announces the arrival of a helicopter overhead. It's Cha Eun Jin, the woman who conquered the male-dominated realm with only a pair of her lethal scissors. However, Eun Jin is attacked by an opponent and falls off the rooftop. She survives but sustains serious head injuries and remembers nothing of her past. She is discovered by Jae Chul, a Chinese restaurant cook, and ends up delivering food on a scooter for "Fusion Chinese Restaurant Shu". Having forgotten that she was a born fighter, Eun Jin lives a peaceful life while various men like "Moneylender Koh" and "Girllove" vie for her affections. By chance, she thwarts a bank robbery and is honoured with a "Brave Citizen Award". Unfortunately, this reveals her whereabouts to the White Sharks, who have been eagerly waiting for their chance for revenge. They team up with some loan sharks who have been looking to develop the marketplace area to back Eun Jin into a corner. She has no alternative but to risk her life once again in a bloody war with her sworn enemies. Edit Translation

And then it gets even better. I never thought in my life that I’d ever watch a South Korean movie ending on a Zhang Ziyi cameo flying around Crouching Tiger-style and fighting to the tune of—yes you guessed it—I WILL SURVIVE
Oh my god, YES
Kick-ass movie! And kinda trash at the same time.

Stunts - 80/100 | When the guy drops Eun-jin at the beginning I physically cringed, especially since I fell this way once and had a concussion from it. It’s like a short blink and you’ll miss it stunt that nobody probably remembers, but it was the most impactful for me lmao
Narrative - 72/100 | What I like most about this movie is just how much the character of Eun-jin grows. There’s a deplorable attempted rape scene in this movie (played for laughs…) but apart from that I was engaged throughout. Might not be everyone’s cup of tea since nothing happens for a while with the plot but I thought it was an interesting character-driven story carried big time by Shin Eun-kyung’s central performance in her role of Eun-jin. Wonderful range of expressions, demeanor, and body language on this one. Oh and a very physical performance too.
Fight Choreography - 81/100 | Haven’t seen the third one yet but the fights in this sequel are a definite step up. I really liked how they just went all in on the wires and crazy stuff, I dunno I thought it fit pretty well with how the character is basically a legendary figure at this point. It was filmed and put together a lot better.
Enjoyment - 82/100 | You can feel the Hong Kong influences here, they’re everywhere, but with this lovely touch of South Korean out-of-place comedy that I very much appreciate as well. I love amnesia-fueled stories. It just brings so much to the table sometimes, as evidenced by how much I enjoyed this, however nonsensical it was at times.
