Shi jie da shai (1989). Shi jie da shai: Directed by Hoi Mang. With Cynthia Rothrock, Siu-Ho Chin, Hoi Mang, Elizabeth Lee. Rothrock stars as Cindy, an American FBI agent who travels to Hong Kong to arrest a criminal newspaper editor, Ronny Dak (filmmaker Ronny Yu) who prints counterfeit money using the newspaper's presses (a dubious notion, but storyline is not the film's strong point). While investigating Dak's crimes, Cindy hooks up with her old friend Judy Yu (Elizabeth Lee), an undercover cop (Chin Siu-ho), and an intrepid journalist (director Mang Hoi) to battle his kung-fu henchmen.

“A sequel to Above The Law (Righting Wrongs) by name only, and mainly for the Western market, this insane movie is a completely different kind of film that trades the serious action, thriller, for the non-stop action, comedy.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd thatu0026#39;s not a bad thing.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eUnfortunately though, this sequel tends to lack the production values, and directorial efforts of the first – going through a collection of directors, and hairstyles (which is slightly entertaining) but keeping the same hard-knock fight scenes which we all know and love.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn fact, Rothrock claims to this day that her favourite movie that shows her fighting best, is Blonde Fury (Above The Law 2). And, thatu0026#39;s possibly quite true!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhereas Righting Wrongs was Yuen Biaou0026#39;s time to shine, Blonde Fury is all about the Roth! She actually looks like she is having a great time, which comes across quite well in her character.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eCynthia is aided by ex-boyfriend Meng Hoi, and the fantastic Chin Sui Hoi (brother to the amazing Chin Kar Lok), who both get to show their own skills throughout the show, battling bad guy superstars Billy Chow and Chung Fat, along with a host of other (very hurt looking) stunt-men. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDefinitely crazy, often hilarious, and continuously action packed, this gem of a mess is pure entertainment from start to finish!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eEnjoy!”
