The Intellectual Trio
1984, Cantonese. Directed by Guy Lai Ying-Chau.

However, rather than arresting the two thieves, the cops are taken in by their obvious charms, and with urban, metropolitan Hong Kong as a backdrop, romance seems almost inevitable. But the girls also lifted a precious jade from a vicious hitman, who soon comes looking for his stolen property...
