There are a lot of elements in this film, which you normally don't see in a single movie, for the good reason that they usually don't go together in a satisfactory way; but here, they work fairly well, especially in the sense that they capture a number of themes from the 1970's.
You need to be patient in watching this movie! The pacing is often slow by American standards, and the plot twists are often only minimally explained, if at all. In that, and in other ways, this resembles the Euro-spy films of the 1960's. So, why watch it?
The three stewardesses are all good looking, and they aren't shy about displaying their impressive charms in this film. Lenore Kasdorf and Pat Anderson have the best roles. Lenore shows not only her beauty, but her impressive acting skills, which were to lead her to a long and successful Hollywood career. Pat does well in a role that has a comic emphasis, and she is very endearing, and believable. She comes across as very natural. The actress playing Pat's mom is highly accomplished and funny, and had me laughing out loud. Her first-rate acting helps this movie, a lot.
The movie has scenes that are humorous, sometimes shocking--sexploitation-wise--and with some kung fu type action. The kung fu is pretty mild stuff, but at least the movie is trying; one of the three girls has had a lot of kung fu training, though that background of hers is never explained.
There are some nice visuals of Hong Kong, which are colorful and fun.
