Naked Weapon (2002)
Nomination Year: 2018
SYNOPSIS: The evil Madame M kidnaps young girls who show promise at martial arts, then forces them to live on her private island where they are constantly trained into ultimate killing machines...until the day she orders them all to kill each other and takes the survivor. Now there's a sustainable business model for you. You'd think she could do something with the slightly-less skilled girls she's spent 10 years housing, training, feeding, clothing, spending money on guards—you know what? I'm just gonna go with it. Anyway, this time around, M decides to keep three instead of one. Closer-than-sisters Charlene (protagonist) and Kat, and the third cold-blooded bitch that's destined to eventually die fighting one or both of the others. Enter Jack. A good-hearted CIA agent who's followed the case for years and has finally tracked down Charlene...and falls in love with her.
