10 Amazingly Bad Action Films You've Never Seen

Cleopatra Wong is an Interpol agent on the trail of counterfeit money, which is of course being printed in a monastery full of gangsters disguised as nuns and priests. Captured and forced into combat, our heroine goes one on one with an army of Kung Fu assassins before leaping the wall in a single bound (why not?) and travelling to Hong Kong, where she discovers the money is being transported inside jars of raspberry jam.

That’s all the plot there is in this outrageous mix of martial arts and James Bond, which goes out of its way to entertain and lets nothing – not the low budget, the grainy cinematography or the ham acting – stand in its way.

There’s gun battles, bad disco music and a fight scene every five minutes, but best of all is the climactic assault on the monastery, with Cleopatra’s all-male army disguising themselves as nuns, which leads to the immortal line: “Freeze – or you’re a dead nun!”
