Summary: Good old days
Review: I haven't seen this for over 10 years.
Surprising storylines, I still remember.
I don't remember about the fight scenes.
I saw this before the days I took Kung Fu lessons.
But I don't remember the muscle lines on her.

ha ha.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Royal fights
Review: Michelle Yeoh is a H.K. cop who with the assistance of her partner (Michael Wong sporting a Donnie Osmond haircut) and a Japanese cop traveling with his family break up an attempted hijacking on the jet they're all travelling on. The hijackers motivation is to free their boss who's being escorted to trial on the plane. In the process of botching the hijacking, Yeoh, Wong, and the Japanese cop kill most of the bad guys (I guess there's no equivalent to the Miranda Act in the Far East) including the crime boss that was the target of the hijacking. Unfortunately, this crime boss has two more close friends who want some payback for the killing of their friend, the result being Yeoh & Co. have to wage war all over Hong Kong. This film has the usual H.K. problems of local humor and antics that don't translate well to western audiences, but it also has some of Michelle Yeoh's best fights, especially the last confrontation. The Japanese fighter (whose name I can't remember at the moment)also exhibits some powerful martial arts skills, especially during a bar brawl with one of the deceased crimes bosses friends who subsequently becomes deceased in said bar brawl. Great martial arts and Michelle Yeoh looking more attractive than usual in a Dorothy Hamil bowl cut. If you like Yeoh, good fights, or are just a H.K. cinema fan, you'll probably like this movie.

Summary: Amazing
Review: ROYAL WARRIORS is simply one of the best action movies ever made. It features the bone-crunchingly brutal style of Hong Kong choreography that was perfected in the 80's following the renaissance initiated by Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan, and it has rarely looked better than it does in this movie. This is text book action cinema, and Michelle Yeoh is remarkable.

Summary: don't mess with yeoh
Review: this movie was really good, the action sequences have a nice flare to them that movies these days seem to lack. yeoh's martial arts skill and preformance make this a pretty enjoyable movie. I think this movie, Yes madam, the tai chi master, and supercop show her in her top martial art preformance.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: NOT HORRIBLE, BY 80's KUNG FU STANDARDS
Review: Typical 80's Hong Kong cop movie. While we were sitting around with buddy cop movies, Charles Bronson, Clint Eastwood, and Miami Vice, Hong Kong moviegoers were watching actors like Michelle Yeoh and Danny Lee shoot, kick, and punch the bad guys out of mainland China.

Ultimately, this isnt one of the better HK cop movies, but it is worth watching if you enjoy Michelle Yeoh and other HK cop movies like the Angel series and Organized Crime and Triad Bureau.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Real Kicker!
Review: Typical over-the-top, "nothing suceeds like excess" HK action thriller that works from the first scene to the last. Yeoh plays intrepid RHKPD Inspector Michelle Yip (who evidentally has her own special weapons factory!), who finds herself entangled with deadly terrorists trying to avenge the death of their comrades at her hands. She is aided by a Chinese security expert and a Japanese cop, but it is really her movie.The fights are bone-crushingly brutal, and the action scenes as a whole put similar American fare to shame.Well-directed, slam-bang action!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: michelle yeoh at her best
Review: Wow...the martial arts in this movie really surprised me considering how raw and brutal some of the scenes were. Great movie with a great story. For those that don't know, this is the second installment of the In The Line of Duty series...I highly suggest checking out In The Line of Duty IV...but RW is awesome in terms of martial arts, you can expect a really brutal michelle yeoh in this one...story centers around michelle yeoh as a police officer along with a japanese police officer and an annoying security guard who prevents a plane from being hijacked by terrorists for the purpose of freeing a convict. They killed all the terrorists along with the convict, but then the convict's 3 best War buddies plot a revenge on the 3 individuals, and the rest of the movie is about pure survival...there are many dramatic parts in the film, but you'll be rooting for michelle all the way...definitely one of her best...
