''Pink Force Commando'' is a schlocky Taiwanese B-movie directed by Kevin Chu Yen-ping, starring Creator/BrigitteLin, Sally Yeh (who played Jenny in ''Film/TheKiller'') and a plethora of Taiwan's B-tier names in late-80s action cinema.
Set in an unspecified era where Nazis exist alongside samurais, ninjas, rejects from Mad Max, and the UsefulNotes/KuKluxKlan, the titular commando team is an all-woman fighting force led by Jackal (Brigitte), who got their hands on a cache of stolen gold but is being pursued by the Nazi army. After a brutal ActionPrologue which leaves most of her team dead, Jackal orders her team to leave, allowing herself to be captured by the Nazis led by their commander, simply called the "Pig Commander"... only to reveal that she's actually working in cahoots with ''him'', for they are secretly lovers.
After a TimeSkip, Jackal ends up being betrayed by the Pig Commander, and have to seek her former friends where she needs to prove her allegiance by [[AnArmAndALeg cutting off her arm]] ([[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer not making this up]]) before they ends up as a team again, to recover a gigantic diamond from a bandit gang for a LaResistance army. But when the diamond turns out to be a dud, a confrontation results in Jackal getting dropped into a river, where she is rescued by a mysterious, nameless stranger called The Heartbroken Man ([[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer not making this up]]), who then makes a robot arm for Jackal for self-defense. Now returning as a badass killing machine, with her robot arm upgraded to a Gatling Gun ([[RuleOfThree not making this up]]), Jackal must rescue her friends and join a LaResistance band of soldiers to fight off the Pig Commander, who had allied himself with the aforementioned bandits, ninjas, and every fictional evil army in an epic final battle. The plot kinda just forgot about itself for the sake of the 15-minute long war sequence
----
!!This film contains examples of:
* ActionGirl: Most notably Jackal, but Dynamite Susie, the Woman in White and Rebel Angel also counts. As does the DarkActionGirl simply named the ninja leader.
* AllThatGlitters: The immensely valuable Diamond of the Sun, which Jackal and the commandoes battle their way through an entire bandit camp to obtain? [[spoiler: It's a dud, the shine emanating from the diamond comes from a light inside connected to a wire]].
* AmazonianBrigade: The titular commando force, played by Brigitte Lin heading an entire ass-kicking team of stuntwoman and action film regulars.
*AnArmAndALeg: Jackal, in order to prove her allegiance to the commando team and pass an initiation, had to use a bushido to whack off her arm.
* AnyoneCanDie: [[spoiler: As the film gets closer to its end credits the LaResistance suffers more and more casualties, and even the titular commandoes aren't spared. Dynamite Susie, Devil Angel, the Woman in White all dies one after another]].
* ArmCannon: Jackal, after being rescued by The Heartbroken Man, ends up having a revolver gun fused to her stump, which after a TrainingMontage is upgraded to a [[GatlingGood Gatling gun]]. Her onscreen kill-count notably spikes through the roof once she gets this weapon.
* BadassBiker: A henchman simply called "The Biker" is among the villains' ranks, and kicks ass while riding a motorcycle.
* BadassesWearBandanas: Leading ActionGirl Jackal does in her opening scene. As does the LaResistance leader, the Woman in White in her entire screentime.
* BigBadassBattleSequence: The last 12 or so minutes of the movie.
* BigDamnHeroes: The Heartbroken Man ends up being this combined with ChekhovsGunman in the finale; [[spoiler: when Jackal left him after their first meeting he promises to be there for her when she needs it, and right at the end of the movie he ends up shooting the Pig Commander, right before the latter is about to shoot Jackal]].
*BoomHeadshot: Combined with YouAreAlreadyDead, this is how Jackal's chess-playing partner gets offed in the opening scene. Jackal declares, "Check, your move..." before suddenly realizing she has a bullet hole in her forehead. She then collapses immediately.
* BoyishShortHair: Dynamite Susie.
* CombatMedic: The Heartbroken Man, besides being capable of nursing Jackal back to health and giving her a replacement arm, turns out to be a bona-fide badass capable of taking names as well, showing up in the end of the movie to turn the tide of battle around.
* DastardlyWhiplash: The Nazi Commander BigBad, named "Pig Commander".
* DecoyProtagonist: Played with. Jackal, being played by Taiwanese A-lister Brigitte Lin, is apparently shot dead right in the opening scene by the Nazi commander after ordering her remaining teammates, Dynamite Susie and Rebel Angel to leave. She then gets up, revealing her to be working in tandem with the Nazi Commander, and they start celebrating.
* DemolitionsExpert: Dynamite Susie. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin With a name like that, it's no surprise]].
* EqualOpportunityEvil: The villainous army in the film, whose ranks consists of Chinese bandits, Japanese samurai, ninjas, Nazis, bandits right out of some SpaghettiWestern film, a bunch of ''Film/MadMax'' rejects, [[UsefulNotes/KuKluxKlan The KKK]]... ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Some of the characters, notably The Heartbroken Man (a mysterious wanderer who lost his love years ago and is still not quite over it), the Ninja Leader (a... lady ninja warrior) and the LaResistance leader called The Woman In White ([[SarcasmMode yes, she wears black throughout the entire film]]).
* ExcuseMeWhileIMultitask: In the opening scene, Jackal and her first team of commandoes are fighting off a horde of Nazis... while in the middle of a game of Chinese chess. Jackal even stops playing for a second to shoot a Nazi outside a window, before going back to her game.
* GenreMashup: GirlsWithGuns, SpaghettiWestern, war / millitary, conspiracy thriller...
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: The Ninja Leader, who took a bullet fired by The Heartbroken Stranger, meant for the Pig Commander]]. [[UngratefulBastard The commander doesn't bat an eye]].
* ISurrenderSuckers: In the opening scene, when the Pink Force Commandoes are apparently cornered by the Nazi army, Jackal immediately orders them to hoist a WhiteFlag. As the Nazis approaches their cabin, Jackal and the all-female commando team immediately bursts out on their jeep, firing away using their vehicle-mounted machine-gun in a quick getaway.
* TheJimmyHartVersion: Basically 80% of the film's background score. The music from ''Film/MadMax'' is heard at various points, and during the TrainingThePeacefulVillagers montage the score of ''Film/ConanTheBarbarian'' is played in the background. Also, Jerry Goldsmith's score from ''Franchise/Rambo'' can be heard in the final shootout.
* {{Kunoichi}}: The DarkActionGirl female ninja warrior whose name is simply the Ninja Leader. In the final battle, she kills more redshirts than the rest of the Pig Commander's army.
* LaResistance: The millitia army led by the Woman in White, who serves as the RedshirtArmy when the villains united army attacks in the finale.
* MercyKill: Jackal has to do this to the captured [[spoiler: Cat]] after she gets captured alive by the Pig Commander's forces and crucified on an X-shaped frame which is being twisted to put her through ColdBloodedTorture.
* MoreDakka: When Jackal's ArmCannon gets upgraded from a revolver to a gatling gun...
* NoNameGiven: The Heartbroken Man, the Woman In White, the Ninja Leader. The directors apparently spent too much effort on putting them in action scenes that they've forgotten to assign them with names and / or personalities.
* OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler: The Biker henchman lose his head from being sliced off by The Heartbroken Man]]. In a SingleStrokeBattle.
* OneLastSmoke: Moments before [[spoiler: Angel]], shot and falling through two floors before being reduced to a crumpled heap, requests for Susie to give her a cigaratte... and a dynamite. She then lights the dynamite, use its fuse to light her cigar, and allows several mooks to enter so that [[TakingYouWithMe she can blow up herself with everyone else trying to kill her]].
* ShoutOut: Dynamite Susie's first scene, in which she have to fight a group of martial artists and challengers, including a BruceLeeClone, a [[Film/OneArmedSwordsman one-armed sword-fighter]] and a [[Film/TheMagicBlade swordsman in a poncho]]. She simply blows up all of them with a stick of dynamite, [[NonFatalExplosions non-fatally]]. The Bruce Lee {{Expy}} notably had his entire face black with soot and his pants shredded, [[AmusingInjuries before collapsing last in a comical way]].
* SmallGirlBigGun: Invoked in the first shootout scene, when Jackal and Devil Angel makes their getaway on a jeep, Jackal behind the driver's wheel, and Angel manning the heavy machine-gun mounted behind and using it to take names, cutting a bloody chunk out of Nazi soldiers.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: The Woman in White's outfit is a mere white makeshift bra with tight white pants, and a flowing white headscarf.
* TakeItToTheBridge: The confrontation between Jackal, Dynamite Susie and The Pig Commander is on top of a suspension bridge, hundreds of meters above a raging river. The Ninja Leader suddenly interrupts, [[spoiler: and in the ensuing fight Jackal ends up falling over, but thankfully the river is full of SoftWater which allows her to survive and be rescued by The Heartbroken Man]].
* ThrowDownTheBomblet: Dynamite Susie's preferred method of attacking mooks,m true to her name, is to fling dynamites at everything she sees.
* TooDumbToLive: The bandit guarding the Pink Force Commandoes, sans Jackal, when Jackal is trying to break her friends out. The commandoes decides to start a sing-along (of ''Are You Sleeping, Brother John''?) and for some reason, the guard decides to chime in, until he gets close enough for the commandoes to suddenly grab him and drag him into the cell's bars, knocking him out cold.
* TreasureIsBiggerInFiction: Invoked when the commandoes finally retrieves the Sun Diamond, a ''massive'' jewel the size of a watermelon, where upon being removed from its casing will unleashing a powerful, glaring light which illuminates the night... [[spoiler: it's a dud, there's a lightbulb inside the diamond connected to a power cord]].
* TroubledBackstoryFlashback: For The Heartbroken Man, when he narrates how bandits massacred his village and killed his girlfriend years ago.
* WakingUpElsewhere: Jackal, after falling off a bridge and rendered unconscious after being washed ashore, wakes up in The Heartbroken Man's home.
