Yes, Madam (Hong Kong, 1985) – 3/5
This is the first film in the Yes, Madam series, and also the second part in the In the Line of Duty series. The UK dvd cover states Police Assassins but since Royal Warriors (aka in the Line of Duty) is also know as Police Assassins this is actually Police Assassins 2. Ah, what a mess. The movie itself is a classic 80’s girls kick ass cinema, in good and in bad. The good is that Michelle Yeoh performs some fantastic fight and stunt action and also looks incredibly good. Michelle with glasses attached is the best I’ve ever seen her look. The bad is Cynthia Rothrock. The movie would fare much better without that nasty white bitch. The rest of the cast is pure gold with supporting roles by John Sham, Hoi Mang, Tsui Hark and Dick Wei, plus an incredible amount of cameos including Wu Ma, Richard Ng, Sammo Hung and David Chiang.

Royal Warriors (Hong Kong, 1986) – 3/5
Michelle Yeoh and Hiroyuki Sanada kicking ass together! Not even Michael Wong manage ruin a movie with such great formula (although he tries his best). Royal Warriors (aka In the Line of Duty, note the production year) isn’t the most sophisticated action film to come out of Hong Kong but is pretty good entertainment nevertless. The soundtrack is nice, the action well choreographed (including a suprise weapon in the finale) and the gravestone â€
