Hong Kong Gor

Episode three! And this time we are switching to another legend of Hong Kong's cinema with Sammo Hung's Eastern Condors, a movie he stared in and directed alongside his future wife Joyce Godenzi. This war movie set in Vietnam tells the story of twelve convicts forced to accomplish a dangerous mission. The movie follows some American tropes and switches between comedy and drama in-between some incredible action scenes.

For this second episode, we are following Michelle Yeoh's career after Yes, Madam and moving to Royal Warriors, alongside Michael Wong (Z Storm, City Hunter) and Hiroyuki Sanada (John Wick 4, Ringu) for an action movie that's full of fridging and memorable action scenes but low on character development and directed by three pair of hands, one official and two "unofficial".

This is our first episode and to introduce our podcast, we are talking about Yes, Madam from 1985, Oscar Winner Michelle Yeoh's (Everything Everywhere All At Once, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) first action movie in Hong Kong as lead actress and martial artist Cynthia Rothrock (Lady Dragon, Righting Wrongs). Yes, Madam is responsible for starting the trend of Girl with Guns movies where women were the leading stars.
