Low Key Corey Yuen's Best Movie?

Still waiting for my copy to arrive, I’m excited

I was on the fence about buying this but thanks to your review im gonna pick it up. Keep up the amazing work 😊

I still haven't seen enough of Corey Yuen's filmography to confidently say it's his best film, but it's my favorite of the one's I've seen. I just love how much Corey was championing these awesome female action heroes when so many in the 80s were sidelining women into love interest roles. Many have spoken about sexism in the films of guys like Jackie and Sammo, but it's ironic this film starred Sammo's eventual wife in the lead and him in a side role. Clearly he was excited to let her have the spotlight (having already given her a great side role in Eastern Condors). Regardless, one thing that's clear is Corey Yuen LOVES female action heroes. From Yes Madam! through Dead or Alive, just a lot of fun stuff with women kicking butt.

The Inspector Weres Skirts is slated for a December release from 88 Films.

Loved this movie, great action sequences, great fights, cool shootouts, it felt at times like a In The Line Of Duty style movie.

My only gripe is I'd liked Darren's artwork as the actual blu ray sleeve cover instead of the Lethal Lady cover.

I went re-purchased Warriors Too Prodigal Son because they put the slipcovers art on the blu ray sleeve, I'm OCD & it a bloody curse 😂😂😂

Righting Wrongs is still untouchable for me but this one’s top tier for sure, especially that end fight!

Thanks for the great recommendation as usual. The In the Line of Duty series especially Royal Warriors and Yes, Madam made me a fan of the sect of HK cinema so I will check this out

The best Hong Kong movie imo

Ive been trying to limit some purchases recently but damn this movie is getting insane reviews everywhere, looks like im gonna have to pick this one up!

Thanks for the kind words ^^ The film is so wild!

High five from the CFK Crew ✌️😊

I watched this last night and REALLY enjoyed it too. JG seriously impressed with both her acting and handling of the action. The time given on screen to developing the characterisation of the family members got me emotionally invested in the events that followed to a greater extent than I would have otherwise.

Agreed! It is Corey Yuen’s best and not only for its action but also for its storyline. One of the more proper HK movie script I’ve seen. The cast is amazing.

I watched this last night and I really enjoyed this movie. The action scenes were awesome! I just wish the birthday scene would have sort of cut to the chase a couple minutes sooner. I understand what the scene was doing but I was just worried with how the characters were struggling through the scene.

Just finished watching this and oh boy, you weren't kidding!
The fight/gun scenes were absolutely amazing, but it truly honed in on the drama and focused more on the dynamics between all the family members and I think that's what makes this film work so well. Joyce Godenzi gave one hell of a performance and the scene you talked about during the birthday party absolutely broke my heart!
As always, another great video Will! Keep up the good work 👍🏻

This film is excellent, EXCEPT for that bit with the condom, which unfortunately turns her husband into a kinda reprehensible character and makes it harder to engender sympathy for him because he’s such a dickhead. And, even worse, this thoroughly reprehensible act is spun by the script as having a positive effect in the end, which is a horrible message to send, absolutely stomach-churning. Everything else is so good that it doesn’t ruin the film, but that bit kinda tarnishes this otherwise shining example of HK action crime dramedy, and I gotta call it out. That said, am looking forward to upgrading my ancient HK DVD. As for Corey’s best film, that’s still gotta be Righting Wrongs for me, but this one is damn good, and I’m glad you finally got to see it and that you enjoyed it o much. Thank you as always for your insight-filled review.

I agree with you that this film is superior to Yes Madam. To me Yes Madam is one of the most overrated Hong Kong films ever. Before seeing it I had heard for years how great it was and after I watched it I was let down. The action(what little there is) is awesome but I find the rest of the film a slog to get through.

Just nabbed this, Skinny Tiger and Fatty Dragon, R@ped by An Angel, City War, Wild Search, Rich & Famous/Tragic Hero, and In The Line Of Duty 6 Forbidden Arsenal. Can't wait for mail day next week haha. This one looks great!

I wasn't even ready for how layered and powerful this film was. It hit me not just in my action sweet spot but in the emotional solar plexus. Also, a fantastic review from you is well, Sir. Thanks to all involved in both.

So, this film is better than Ninja in the Dragon's Den (1982),Yes, Madam! (1985),Righting Wrongs (1986), & Saviour of the Soul (1991) ?
🙄😂🤣😂
Well.... I find that impossible to believe, and probably the result of an interlude of hysteria , over excitement & terminal fan-boy-ism.

Did you review Middleman with Cinthia Khan? That sword fight was kino.

Sandra Ng must be the all-time MVP of Hong Kong cinema. She spent decades playing best friend and comic relief roles until she started getting lead roles and showing what a true comedic genius she is.

I think she is THE funniest woman in film.

Joyce Ko well-acts. So does Carina Lau.

My favourite Corey Yuen film is ‘Transporter’ starring Jason Stathum.
