(1986) Above The Law.
(In Chinese With English subtitles).
ACTION.
Best Yuen Baio martial art vehicle since he was still in his prime, directed by his brother Corey Yuen Kwai about vigilante lawyer seeking retribution after friend was killed, which is nothing more than an excuse to showcase well choreographed and staged martial art fights between actual ex- kickboxer champion Cynthia Rothrock and Yuen, another ex-kickboxer champion Karen Shepard and Cynthia Rothrock, Yuen and ex-kickboxer champion Sean "The Sugarfoot" Cunningham. Topping it off with Yuen jumping out of a flying plane into the ocean, several feet down. Influenced action scenes to other US action vehicles such as "Cobra" and "Die Hard With A Vengeance""!
Footnote: The original English title was supposed to be called "Above The Law" but was was changed to "Righting Wrongs" to avoid confusion of Steven Seagals 1986 own version also called "Above The Law". And an alternative ending was also available for English audiences.
4 out of 4.
