Naked Weapon (2002) is an action-packed thriller from Hong Kong, directed by Ching Siu-Tung. The film follows a sinister plot where a mysterious figure, Madame M, kidnaps young girls and trains them to become deadly assassins. The story revolves around three of the girls, including one named Charlene (played by Maggie Q), who survive the brutal training and emerge as the world's most lethal hired guns. A federal agent, Jack Chen (played by Daniel Wu), has been tracking their activities, leading to a tense and violent final confrontation with the film's villain. The film showcases a blend of martial arts and wirework, with a focus on the dramatic skills of its cast, especially the skilled action sequences featuring the female assassins. Although criticized for its over-the-top dialogue and the use of CGI in combat scenes, Naked Weapon remains popular for its intense action sequences and the eye-catching performances of its female leads?
