incredible when it's good. also, this is how every movie should begin and end. the collection of early Michelle Yeoh films on the Criterion Channel is one of life's truest mitzvot.p.s. can someone please make an exhaustive letterboxd list of every movie plot that hinges on a mysterious microfilm? thx
Take most of the Lucky Stars, the thinnest shred of MacGuffin-driven plot, badass women cops (Michelle Yeoh and Cynthia Rothrock), Tsui Hark as a forger who dresses like Adam Driver and lives in an apartment designed by Buster Keaton and more broken glass than Police Story and throw it all in a blender directed by Corey Yuen at his absolute peak of not giving a fuck and you have the most 1980s Hong Kong movie ever made.This is the kind of movie where the villain is introduced spinning in a swivel chair while laughing maniacally and smoking a pipe. Where the cops hand in their badges and guns before going on an extra-legal rampage. Where Sammo Hung, Richard Ng and David Chiang try to steal chicken from a busty nurse at their nursing home.
when michelle and cynthia turn in their gun and badge and go OFF >>>> final fight scene is the best thing ever. everyone was doing the most in this movie, in the best way. shout-out to tsui hark as comic relief fumbling around in overalls the whole time.
Two police officers, one from Hong Kong and one from Scotland Yard, must set aside their differences to recover a stolen microfilm that has fallen into the hands of a dangerous triad gang.
The film was directed by Corey Yuen, a prominent Hong Kong action choreographer and filmmaker known for shaping the 80s martial arts aesthetic.
Yes, it is widely considered a staple of the 'girls with guns' subgenre, featuring acclaimed stunt work and a high-energy finale that showcases the skills of Michelle Yeoh and Cynthia Rothrock.
