WOMEN ON THE RUN is part of our Vinegar Syndrome Archive collection, celebrating forgotten cinematic oddities from the video store era. This collection was inspired by our own brick & mortar video stores, with locations in Bridgeport,CT; Denver, CO and Toronto, ON!

Unique to this line, each hand numbered limited edition release will come fitted in a specially designed, bottom loading VHS inspired slipcase, while also including a double-sided poster.

These releases will ONLY be available on our website and at participating indie retailers. Absolutely no major retailers will be stocking them. This spot gloss slipcase edition (designed by Sean Longmore) is strictly limited to 4,000 units and may (but probably not) be followed by a standard edition in the future.

A young woman named Yin dreams of leaving her modest village life for a chance to try to make it big as a martial arts movie star. Leaving for the big city with her boyfriend, life takes a turn for poor Yin when she soon finds herself addicted to drugs and being pimped out by her boyfriend. After a violent altercation forces Yin to flee to Hong Kong, it's not long before she ends up on the radar of the police. Without any other options, Yin makes a deal with the police to go undercover with one of their straight-laced female detectives, Hung, in order to try and bring down a notorious drug dealer nicknamed ""King Kong."" Victimized by the men in their lives, the two unlikely friends must team up to protect each other from the criminals out to get them and work together to get revenge on those who have betrayed them.

Directed by frequent collaborators David Lai and Corey Yuen (the duo responsible for the Savior of the Soul films, as well as the Transporter franchise), WOMEN ON THE RUN stands out compared to the many other Hong Kong action films of the time, thanks in part to its controversial CAT III rating. Playing as part ""buddy cop"" film mixed with a ""girls with guns"" aesthetic, WOMEN ON THE RUN also takes heavy inspiration from the exploitation films of decades prior, due to the sometimes shocking ordeals that the women must face before getting their revenge. Vinegar Syndrome Archive is proud to present WOMEN ON THE RUN, for the first time on Blu-ray here in the States, newly restored from the original camera negative and complete with all the female ass-kicking one could ask for.
