THE FILM that started “Girls with guns“ craze! AKA Royal Warriors before the 7 parts series changed to “In the line of duty“ name. The first 5 minutes are silly, rest is hard core action packed from start to finish in this violent revenge tale about Michelle Yip (Michelle Yeoh) of the Hong Kong police is a mild-mannered Kung Fu expert; Michael Wong, from air security, is happy-go-lucky, stuck on himself, constantly talking, and smitten by her; Yamamoto is a quiet Japanese, hard-boiled, leaving the Tokyo police to spend time with his wife and daughter. They form an alliance when they foil a brutal hijacking on a plane flying a mob prisoner from Tokyo to Hong Kong. The mobster and his would-be rescuers dies, and this sets off two avengers who were their blood brothers during the war. “We live together and we die together!“ is a better line in the Western dub. Our three cops become the targets. A high-speed chase, a car bomb, the destruction of a nightclub, a spectacular suicide, dead bystanders, and a flying coffin litter the landscape and thats not all in this more than unusual hard boiled revenge film that moves in tik tok speed! Classic soundtrack too!
