Skip it unless you're specifically hunting for campy video game adaptations—this 2006 flick is pure spectacle over substance, with a paper-thin plot that exists mainly as an excuse to showcase fight choreography and designer outfits. Even if you dig mindless action, the film's dated CGI and shallow characterizations won't hold up as well as genuinely fun martial arts movies.

Plot

Four beautiful rivals at an invitation-only martial-arts tournament join forces against a sinister threat. Princess Kasumi is an aristocratic warrior trained by martial-arts masters. Tina Armstrong is a wrestling superstar. Helena Douglas is an athlete with a tragic past. Christie Allen earns her keep as a thief and an assassin-for-hire.
