The Dirty Pair operate in a space where competence and chaos live in the same body, they solve the case while everything around them explodes, and they're somehow both responsible and completely unbothered about it. This 1987 film leans into that contradiction hard, treating a mad scientist plot and dormant alien resurrection like an excuse for a heist-action mashup where the real tension is whether Kei and Yuri will get paid before the planet tears itself apart. The whole thing moves with the rhythm of a con artist's punchline, where the setup matters less than watching two women who genuinely like each other navigate incompetence, sabotage, and their own legend with equal parts charm and gunfire. It's silly without apologizing for being silly. That's the point.

The Dirty Pair are sent to Agerna, a planet rich in Vizorium, the single mineral that space travel depends on. A string of mysterious attacks on its mining operations has the world's governments trading accusations, so the World Welfare & Works Association dispatches its top agents to find out who is behind them. What they uncover is worse than sabotage: a mad scientist intends to push a long-dormant alien race to its final evolutionary form. Adding to the trouble, a thief is roaming the planet in search of a bottle of wine dating from World War II. The result is a sci-fi action comedy full of chaos, mayhem and destruction, with plenty of fanservice along the way.
