Yes, Madam - Cynthia Rothrock With Michelle Yeoh - HQ Final Fight Scene

[@randywatson8347]

I just listened to cynthia's interview. She really endured quite heavy hits in that scene. The choreography and editing is next level. We don't see this genuine quality anymore.

[@Pagliacci_Rex]

I was thinking that a lot of those hits look real and they're padded.

[@pablot-r9402]

Too much emphasis on liabilities & injuries these days, but the old school fight choreography & stunts ("go for broken bones" style) way of martial arts film-making (mainly that of classic Hong Kong action film) is virtually dead, although...you are getting some Indonesian / South East Asian film fight & stunt crews who are trying to revive that "go for broke" vibe.

[@Pagliacci_Rex]

@@pablot-r9402 pretty sure it's because it's cheaper than multiple shooting angles so it only looks real.

Back here because Michelle Yeoh just won an Oscar and is finally getting the world wide recognition she’s deserved for the past 40 years

[@stevecheevers7337]

It's crazy to watch cause from Yes Madam probably up Oscar Winning Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, she was known as a action star. She was always charismatic and likeable as a action star but to see her get a role with depth like Crouching Tiger was mind blown (Going through her film C.V a few years back, she did start to sprinkle in a few dramatic non action role's here and there a few years before Crouching Tiger in her Hong Kong roles). That's what makes it great to see her mix action with dramatic work for her eventual Oscar win.

[@Homey104]

Actually she's been known in the western world since her role in "Police Story 3: Supercop" and "Tomorrow Never Dies".

[@ZonnexNecton]

No shaky confusing seizure inducing camera effect. This is on point and what most action movies really need nowadays.

[@gungriffen]

I too hate fucking shaky cam.

[@Maya_hee]

I only accept those for stylised action sequences and even then only when it's done right, not for the sake distracting us from bad choreography. For example, there is this Korean action movie called "Ballerina" and it's fight scenes are so much more dynamic and fun to watch because of the camera movements.

[@mksolid82]

Those cool 80s outfits that the ladies are wearing really add to this sequence. The short jackets with the popped collars. Really awesome.

[@neonpop80]

Yea man totally. The fashion aesthetic is now a totally iconic aspect of this sequence. The high/low fives before the scene starts followed by their pose is totally a fun part of the style of 80s action sensibilities. Which was “way cool”.

[@rickeyboyer4726]

So, agree! There's also something to be said about rockin' a short, sassy hairdo to accompany the overall look & feel of this action packed sequence! Next to the '90's, the 1980's had THE BEST outfits of any decade! On a side note: I wouldn't mind being married to either of these stunning visions of lovelies, or some women who are just like them. Sure they could definitely wupp my tail in the process, easy, no debate there; but just to know that my woman could handle herself in a fight (unfair or otherwise) would be one less worry or concern for me when I can't be there for her... not that she'd need me to always have her back!

There were 2 points in that fall where he could have sustained a career ending injury or even death. The first one is when his back hit the roof of the wine bar, that could have easily broke his spine. The second is when he almost landed on his head when he hits the ground. He could have easily break his neck and ended up in a wheelchair for life. HK movies stunts are incredible and these stuntmen are risking serious injuries and death every day.

TanakinSkywalker That's because Cynthia went to an opera school in China. Probably better than most British academies that teach acting. Nowadays were too ignorant to go out and learn. So we're stuck with whatever's regurgitated from our country

[@mynvision]

Cynthia Rothrock is a highly trained martial artist. She received most of her high level titles prior to starring in this movie. She is now a Grandmaster. Michelle Yeoh is a trained ballerina, and was attending the Royal Academy of Dance in London, before an injury derailed her professional ballerina career. For someone with no ongoing martial arts training, she is very convincing. And she did her own stunts. I get so disappointed with current actresses who obviously don't know how to do martial arts. Only a few impress with actual training (Lucy Liu, Sarah Michelle Gellar). As awesome as the Kill Bill movies were, I wasn't impressed with the sloppy martial arts. I don't mean that they weren't pretty. I mean they were unconvincing. It's hard to get away with stuff like this in Western movies. Insurance liability and all that. I remember when Jackie Chan started doing all his Rush Hour movies, and he was constantly told he couldn't do certain things because of liability.

In my Childhood I watched that movie 100 Times. It is one of the best fight scenes. How they cut the Fighting scenes with that speed is brillant.

Blue Mary & Sonya Blade of real life. Wonderful!

[@gungriffen]

I know Sonya is actually based on her but is Blue Mary as well?

[@MechaG]

Wasn't Blue Mary based off of Android 18?

[@asherrd]

I came here because of Stuart's rec at the end of the latest flop house episode. I am not disappointed. Also, I now totally see where Tarantino got the inspiration for the railing scene with the crazy 88s towards the end of kill bill.

[@Gaambit]

Me too! I was ashamed that the only Cynthia Rothrock movie I’ve seen is the Rifftrax version of Honor & Glory - had no idea how much of a badass she is!

[@glorych1168]

Tarantino, a big fan of hk movie

[@phileo99]

Congrats Michelle Yeoh! You have come a long way from starring in these action movie to winning the Academy Award!

[@notfeedynotlazy]

Given what passes for award-worthy movies lately, that might be considered a step _back,_ mind you. Not going all rose-tinted-glasses "all old movies were better" bullshit, but this particular movie is better than most anything I've watched in the last two or three years.

[@raphaelteasley1349]

Cynthia was truth back in the day love her as a kid very underrated but glad of the films she made cause showcased her craftiness and clever way of defeating bigger and male counter parts was very creative.

[@wolflike24124]

makes me questions why I havent seen more of Cynthia Rothrock films?? Especially 80s and 90s were the martial art primes!

[@gungriffen]

Jomar Beran Her best ones are made in Hong Kong, she made a bunch of American ones but they are all pretty bad. Sonya Blade from Mortal Kombat is based on her though so there's that.

Competition was very tough. So its harder to get yourself heard when the competition are motherfcking Jackie Chan, Chow Yin Fat, etc... I'd argue that she have not meet the director that would have make her career break through. Arnie might have been stuck to b-movie if he have not met James Cameron who made him the Terminator

[@davekp6773]

Maybe the Godfrey Ho crap put you off. Try to seek out the HK ones. She is awesome and was a crush of mine for years. Shes in her 60s now and still looks amazing.

Awesome fight scenes Cynthia & Michelle 👏😏

No cgi, I miss fights like that

[@Charliem1994]

One of the best fight scenes ever filmed. Only a few surpass this (Police Story for example).

[@retroboomer3197]

I love hearing about Michelle Yeoh fans telling me about how awesome she is because they just found out about her in 2022.

If I had a copy of it, I would be. My two favorite female artists

[@maryf2003]

This duel of two strong women who had a chance to grace the screens of the foreign Cinema and fullfilled the roles 10 times and beyond. On my bucket or wish list, my mission is to obtain the entire 5 part series of in the line of duty. Rothrock and Yeoh portrayed two characters, beautiful intelligent and wouldn't back down for nobody's Business. It would be nice as a woman to be as strong and a damn good fighter if push came to a shove.

[@sharkeyboy123]

Cynthia - total bad ass. Try showing this to Charlies Angels 2019....

Hah, even the old Angels look like super action movies compared to this.

2:32 Oh, my God! 🤣I almost pissed myself. That was so unexpected. I don't what was better: the growl or the mustache + eyebrows.

These 2 are my most favourite Martial artists

[@Bravilor]

Huh, that's better coreography than the most well-known martial arts films. Well in other words, the best fight coreography I think I've ever seen. (Apart from the fact that I enjoy slightly more realistic fights more, like The Warriors bathroom scene)

[@VinoDipinte]

Marvel could never. These are masterpieces of choreography and stunts. Granted numerous safety issues but still. Fucking amazing.

[@FekalistaGrzybowory-lz8lh]

Those action and fight scenes made by Hongkong actors and stuntmen 40 years ago are the top of the tops and rest is still far, far behind them. Michelle Yeoh, my childhood crush...

[@niccikeller6260]

Absolutely superb. And also, oh my, what a gorgeous woman she was

[@TheOne5872-n3n]

My Gawd look at that Rothrock? She is the great white hope of Kung-Fu cinema every move is a whirlwind and her Ky-Yah is a force of nature we’ve never had another since

Hope they make an Expendables movie but all women: Cynthia Rothrock, Michelle Yeoh, Milla Jovovich, Kate Beckinsale, Carrie - Ann Moss, Jada Pinkett Smith, Linda Hamilton, Sigourney Weaver and Uma Thurman.
