Movie Reviews of Yes, Madam!
Movie Review: Yeoh and Rothrock, an Awesome Combination.
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this after watching Royal Warriors (aka In the Line of Duty II, also with Michelle Yeoh) and this film was great as well. Yes, Madam(aka In the Line of Duty or Police Assassins) is about two top police women from their respective countries teaming up to retrieve a micro film which is evidence to put away some mob guy. Well, he's a bad guy with a lot of bodyguards and thats all you need to know. As the ...reviewer said, this is sort of like Rush Hour in reverse. The fighting is ever so awesome and brutal, I cringed several times during this one. Cynthia Rothrock shows a lot of her best stuff here, and Michelle is awesome as usual. .... The last fighting scenes are just magical with great production by Sammo Hung; plenty of crazy kick stunts and flips. However, the dvd isnt the greatest sound wise. It seems some of the sound effects were toned down, and the supposed 5.1 dolby isn't very noticable at all. If you got a Region 2 dvd player w/ PAL converter, then get Hong Kong Legends version which is under the name Police Assassins, I believe the sound was redone and the picture quality is second to none. Tsiu Hark and Sammo both make humorous guest appearances in the film as well. If you liked Royal Warriors, you'll love this and besides, its the prequel to Royal. I believe any martial arts fan will be impressed by this one. Check out Michelles other greats such as Wing Chun, Royal Warriors, CTHD (Crouching Tiger...duh), Magnificent Warriors. The only other Cynthia Rothrock movie that I could safely recommend is Righting Wrongs which is totally awesome. I would definitely recommend a buy with all these titles including Yes, Madam...check it out...hope this and my other HK flicks reviews are helpful.
Summary of Yes, Madam!
A slamming, brass-knuckles action film (with simpering comic interludes) about a pair of female cops on the trail of a gang of counterfeiters. In her 1987 film debut, future Bond girl Michelle Yeoh (Tomorrow Never Dies) is teamed with American karate champ and B-movie action queen Cynthia Rothrock, and the acrobatic fights are staged for maximum floor-slamming impact. The plot is like Rush Hour in reverse: Rothrock is an American cop working in Hong Kong, flabbergasting the locals with her Chinese-language skills and rubber-limbed high kicks (when a thug grabs her from behind, she kicks him in the face). Director Corey Yuen (who staged the fight sequences in Lethal Weapon 4) delivers action in fast, hard bursts, with stunt work that rivals the eye-popping best of Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung. Visiting directors Tsui Hark (Peking Opera Blues) and Hung himself have tiny cameo roles, as money-mad dupes of the Sinotrash bad guys. --David ChuteSimilar DVD Movies
