      Audience Member This "In the Line of Duty" spin-off starts of with an exciting action sequence. After that it's largely lame attempts at humor punctuated by brief fits of action. Cynthia Khan kicks some ass in mom jeans and a vest though! Tony Wong fans should like it too. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Although not Cynthia Khan's best movie by a long shot, this is still an action packed and humourous outing for her. The movie kicks off spectacularly enough to show us that Cynthia's character doesn't take crap from any bad guys. Even though the story revolves around Cynthia's character, she is very nearly usurped by the sexy Kara Hui Ying-Hung who plays Ching's father's fiancee and steals every scene she's in. The way she sexually teases Ching's father by dressing up as a maid and giving him a strip tease will be enough to get some viewers hot under the collar! Anthony Wong is brilliant as the goofball detective Charlie Chan who's ably assistant by his wacky and loud assistant Blackie played by the wonderful Sheila Chan. I can see some people becoming annoyed with her character but I thought she was a lot of fun. They both provide a lot of laughs. There's plenty of cool action sequences by director Yuen Wo-Ping including an excellent final fight (a part of it is held on a bamboo scaffolding platform) which is well performed and impressive to watch. Cynthia Khan, Anthony Wong and even Kara Hui Ying-Hung are given a chance to show off their martial arts skills in a scrap involving a variety of weapons from poles to swords. The movie does get bogged down in the middle a little bit with too much talking but it's never far from a skirmish or two to get the quick pace going again. The story isn't really worth writing home about but if you manage to tolerate that just to check out the action sequences on show you'll find this movie enjoyable enough. The comedy is a bit hit and miss - probably more hit than miss. I chuckled several times during the movie. It's a shame with the great cast that was put together that Madam City Hunter couldn't have been better but overall it's not too bad. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member The movie drags. I watched it for the love i have for Cythia Khan. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review dave j Wednesday, January 19, 2011 (1992) Madam City Hunter (In Chinese with English subtitles) ACTION/ COMEDY Comedy is not that funny and the plotline about daughter of cop played by Cynthia Kahn attempting to prevent her wealthy father to marry a much younger lady who appears to look like a gold digger working whose alongside with some gangsters, resorting to the daughter to involve a Private Investigator Anthony Wong and his goofy female sidekick, leaving with the action which is why I'm giving this film a positive rating! Bonified "Asian Trash Cinema"! 3 out of 4 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
