In The Line Of Duty (4)

Director; Yuen Woo Ping
Starring; Cynthia Khan, Donnie Yen
Genre; Action/ martial arts
Year; 1989
Release; UK HK Legends

The title is a little confusing, like many HK films, it has several. Actually the 4th is a very loose series, all are widely known under varying titles. Here in the UK this has no number, but has 4 elsewhere. It's from the same series as Yes Madam. Anyway, this is from the heyday of HK action flicks, the 80's (ok and the 90's), and it's a real gem. The fights are intense, and hard hitting. Cynthia Khan replaces Michelle Yeoh and does the movie stuff just as well. Yen is quite young, and has something to prove, which shows in his awesome performance. Great stuff and well worth a watch.
