Protégé de la Rose Noire (2004)
Original title: 見習黑玫瑰
Protégé de la Rose Noire is a 2004 Chinese-language comedy movie directed by Donnie Yen and Barbara Wong Chun-Chun, with a running time of 1h 31m. It stars Gillian Chung, Charlene Choi Chuek-Yin and Ekin Cheng Yee-Kin.
Gillian and Charlene, as usual, play a couple of mis-matched partners who come under the tutelage of the slightly nutty and love-sick Black Rose, a former kung fu-fighting super-hero who grooms them for a life of fighting crime. Ekin Cheng plays a dim-witted cab driver who wears a Robin costume and becomes Charlene's love interest. There is a bit of "comedy" as Rose confuses Ekin with her former lover and Gillian become jealous. A lot of time is wasted with this Three's Company-style shtick until eventually, some shred of a conflict comes forward, as the girls must battle a former protege of Rose who has taken to kidnapping to pay the bills.
