Before making her name as a bad girl in the Bond film GoldenEye, Famke Janssen displayed her fighting prowess in this above-average thriller. She takes the role of Lady X, a fashion model turned high-kicking vigilante, who sets out to find the people responsible for the beating of her flatmate. The eclectic support cast includes Shannon Tweed and Sean Young, and it's directed with some style by Christian Duguay, who made The Assignment - the film about international terrorist Carlos "the Jackal" Sanchez.

Lady X is a woman who works during the day as a model but turns into a fighter for justice at night with the help of her karate master Chang.
