Yes, Madam! (18)

Dir. Corey Yuen
1985 | 94 mins | Hong Kong
Cantonese with English Subtitles

Michelle Yeoh, Cynthia Rothrock, John Sham


Claimed as the film which kick-started the “Girls with Guns” craze that ruled the international Asian action cinema scene throughout the late ’80s, and catapulted the careers of two of the most badass women fighters in film history.

When a foreign dealer is assassinated in Hong Kong and a valuable microfilm is stolen, Inspector Ng (Michelle Yeoh) of the Hong Kong police is sent to investigate, but when her trail went cold thanks to a bunch of bumbling thieves – Panadol, Aspirin and Strepsil – stealing away some important evidence, against her will, Ng is forcefully paired with Scotland Yard detective Inspector Carrie Morris (Cynthia Rothrock), but soon enough the stolen microfilm attracts the attention of mob leader Mr. Tin and his minions.



This screening in part of Art Of Action: Smash the Glass, a season that celebrates the women who have advanced action cinema both on and off-screen.

The season is supported by National Lottery and BFI Film Audience Network (FAN) with generous sponsorship from PackExe.
