The signature headphones of the assassin Heddohon Otome are multifunctional high-tech gadgets, quite surpassing anything ordinary headphones have to offer.
The feature most often utilized by Heddohon though is the Reverse Noise Cancellation, which allows her to sneak up on her victims in a bubble of complete silence.
(Many of her fellow assassins consider that cheating however.)
The lead ninja has a pair of wooden slats that he "clacks" in one hand and then the audio drops out of the movie. His ninjas move in utter silence (nor even ambient sound) until the killing starts.
The movie is also known as Chinese Super Ninjas. The villains are great and the effects are typical fun Shaw ridiculous. But the heroes are awful and they make the film less enjoyable each time I watch it. The film proves my Shaw Brothers axiom: Any Venoms movie that contains less than 3 Venoms is terrible.
It's disappointing in that the heroes are highly unlikable. Like, it ruins the movie for me now because I hate the jerkass lead. Stick with 5 Deadly Venoms, Kid With The Golden Arm, Flag of Iron/Spearmen of Death, Return of the Five Deadly Venoms/Crippled Avengers.
I suppose this "clacker" is something that has a similar effect?

*ominous music suddenly stops*
Reminds me a bit of that moment of silence when the (scientifically very questionable) seismic charges in Attack of the Clones detonate!
while stabbing people.
