Tips

usage

The franchise's Chinese titles vary: Hong Kong calls it 神探俏娇娃, Taiwan 霹雳娇娃, 'thunderbolt beauties', and the mainland showed the 2000 film as 霹雳天使, 'thunderbolt angels', before taking up the Taiwan title for the 2019 one.

memory

Three syllables: 博 'Bo-', 斯 '-s-', 利 '-ley'. 利 is the stock ending for '-ly/-ley' in men's names, as in 比利 (Billy); women's names usually get 莉 'jasmine' instead, as in 莎莉 (Sally).
