Never enough Cynthia

There's never enough of Cynthia's fighting or her lovely face. I love watching her fight.

I think that she's so beautiful. She would be a great candidate for a long shot of her face. Notice the long shot on Shu Qi in Millennium Mambo, or the shorter long shots of her in So Close. Tarentino used that well with Pam Grier in Pulp Fiction. The 8 minute opening of Natalie Portman's face in Free Zone was pure bliss.

The scene at the beginning where she rips her skirt to fight the bad guy, wow.

What I couldn't tolerate was the horrible dubbing. I didn't know they spoke Cantonese in Japan.

The love scene was so HK. I'm from HK. It wasn't sensuous, it wasn't realistic, it wasn't believably passionate. The love scenes in Tampopo were shockingly erotic and passionate. The sex scenes in Korea's Bad Guy made me feel such genuine disgust, but it was real.

Logic, are at least a semi-smooth flow of credible story line, was missing.

That leaves nothing but more Cynthia. I don't know, maybe I'm just gushing. For me, never enough Cynthia.

Just...wow.

Rachel Yeung (Cynthia Khan) wants to be a tough policewoman, but her uncle (Paul Chun) is her superior and he keeps her out of the line of fire. When a fashion show is interrupted by two thieves working for the Red Army - Nakamura Genji (Stuart Ong) and Michiko Nishiwaki (Michiko Nishiwaki) - and nearly the entire audience is killed, including the partner of Inspector Otaka (Hiroshi Fukioka), his path of revenge brings the two together. She's an incredible martial artist; he's a cop that refuses to follow the rules, causing damage to everything around him in his obsessive quest for justice.

In 79 minutes, we get near non-stop death and destruction, an evil couple who really love each other even though he's dying from an inoperable disease and two closing fights: Otaka battling Genji with pipes and hooks and Rachel fighting both Nishiwaki and her henchman (Dick Wei).

Cynthia Khan may not be Michelle Yeoh, but she works really hard in this. She was a dancer before becoming an actor and her athleticism comes in handy, even if she's doubled in the final fight. Man, I could watch as many of these movies as they chose to make.

In the line of fire 3

A pair of stylish Japanese thieves steal some valuable gems at a fashion show, and during their escape, they kill the partner of a ruffled detective (Hiroshi Fijioka). The detective swears revenge, and the thieves played by Michiko Nishiwaki and her terminally ill partner/lover played by Stuart Ong plan on going to Hong Kong, sell the loot, and buy weapons for the Red Army. All the while Cynthia, a rookie cop in Hong Kong, tries to get in on the action of the task force she has been assigned to, but unfortunately her superior is her uncle who wants to keep her out of harms way. The Japanese thieves and the detective trailing them, all make their way to Hong Kong, and Cynthia ends up entangled in the same mess with the detective, trying to bring the cold blooded and desperate thieves to justice. People on both sides are killed, leading to crossed paths of personal revenge, everyone out for each others blood.

Cynthia Khan takes over from Michelle Yeoh in this "girls with guns" action thriller which has a mix of comedy, drama and hard-hitting action. It's a strange concoction as in one hand you have light humour between Cynthia and her uncle, who doesn't want her to be a cop, and in the other you have two cold-blooded villains who make Bonnie and Clyde seem like church-going devotees; they cold-bloodedly kill, and are part of the Red army. They are pretty dark characters. Plus you got a detective, who looks like a cross between Sonny Chiba and Columbo, who is on a mission to nab the killers. It's not as good as Royal Warriors, but it's a satisfying piece of action mayhem with a good plot, good humour and some intense and exhilarating action scenes. Plus Cynthia Khan looks cute, is likeable and kicks butt!
