88 Films Ltd, with domestic sales and distribution support provided by MVD Entertainment Group, will be taking full advantage of the Michelle Yeoh Oscar-win for Best Actress (Everything Everywhere All at Once) this coming May 16 with the launch of a four-film/four-disc Blu-ray collection titled In the Line of Duty I-IV.
The first two films in the series, Royal Warriors and Yes, Madam!, both star Michelle Yeo as a Hong Kong police inspector who gets involved with organized crime elements and has to use all of her fighting skills — and those of her allies — to win the day. None-stop martial arts action … and Michelle Yeo, need we say more?
Filmed early in her career and virtually unseen in the domestic market for years, these two films would nevertheless pave the way for such future entries as Supercop, Supercop 2, The Heroic Trio, Tomorrow Never Dies and of course, as Yu Shu Lien in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in 2000.
Both of these Michelle Yeo entries in the series can be viewed with the original Cantonese language tracks (with English subtitles) or with their respective English language audio tracks. Both entries also include commentary options and vintage video sessions.
The next two films in the series, In the Line of Duty III and In the Line of Duty IV, showcase the martial arts talents of Cynthia Kahn. And, as with the Michelle Yeo entries, both can be viewed with the original Cantonese language tracks (with English subtitles) or as English-dubbed versions.
Both of the Cynthia Kahn films also feature commentary options and vintage video sessions.
