Angel Terminators 2 (Tony Lou Chun-ku & Chan Lau, 1993)

The only relation I can see between this and the first Angel Terminators film is that they both exist in a universe that follows all our normal laws of physics except for the fact that objects have a tendency to catch fire and explode whenever they impact other objects despite

Wellson Chin

The Inspector Wears Skirts Series (Wellson Chin, 1988–1992)

The Inspector Wears Skirts (1988) A Girls with Guns riff on the Police Academy series, with Sibelle Hu and Cynthia Rothrock training a group of Female Commandos led by Kara Hui and Sandra Ng. The training sequences are rote, with important lessons learned about teamwork and community. Most of the

Stanley Tong

Project S (Stanley Tong, 1993)

This sequel to Police Story 3: Supercop, also known as, appropriately enough, Supercop 2, focuses on Michelle Yeoh’s character from that film, with the same director (Stanley Tong) and Jackie Chan reprising his role in a single scene (in which he foils Eric Tsang’s jewel robbery attempt while

Corey Yuen

Yes, Madam! (Corey Yuen, 1985)

Of the members of the Seven Little Fortunes Peking Opera troupe to become major figures in the Hong Kong film industry in the last 20 years before the colony’s handover to China, Corey Yuen is the least well known. Unlike Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao, he stayed

Corey Yuen

She Shoots Straight (Corey Yuen, 1990)

Neither “She Shoots Straight” nor the its alternate title (“Lethal Lady”) capture the film very well. It’s a film about family, specifically the kind of family where everyone is a cop. This family just happens to have a lot of daughters and only one son. Joyce Godenzi stars as

David Chung

Royal Warriors (David Chung, 1986)

I’m a little unclear on whether or not this 1986 film is In the Line of Duty or In the Line of Duty 2. Wikipedia says it’s the second one, after 1985’s Yes, Madam!. The IMDb says it’s the first one and uses “In the Line
