Jackie Chan's Crime Force (1983)

aka Golden Queen Commando; Amazon Commando

This is one strange, disjointed movie.  Jackie's name and image are prominently featured, yet he does not appear in the movie.  He is only in the beginning for five minutes before the title appears.  Also this footage is just tacked on and has nothing to do with the rest of the film.  

In our unrelated story, Jackie and a girl appear in a soft focus love story gone wrong set to music.  There is no dialogue and it appears to be clips from another film.  Once we see the title, they are never referenced again.

A group of women POW's break out of prison, try to shut down a warlords chemical plant, and end up in a western.  The girls have a pie fight in the prison.  Also they have sunglasses, cigarettes, make up, big styled hair and dyed hair.  One of the characters sounds like a Jewish Snagglepuss, and there is inappropriate wacky comedy music when one of the girls is put into solitary.

The story is supposed to take place during World War II, but check out the girls clothing and hair.  Oh yeah, totally just like the 1930s and 1940s styles I've seen in historical footage.

"If that's the story, it stinks.  The Dynamite gets what she wants. Nobody takes my chair...."

Yup, based on their outfits, this movie
definitely takes place during World War II.
