Peking Opera Blues (1986) ****

 "Peking duck or Kung Pao chicken?"

Tsui Hark's revolutionary sisterhood action comedy, Peking Opera Blues (1986), is a wild genre-mashing ride featuring frenetic energy, genuinely surprising tonal shifts, and a whopper of a finale. Bonus points for using songs from Peter Gabriel's 1985 Birdy soundtrack, which I recognized before confirming on Wikipedia.
