In The Line Of Duty: I - IV

Product Information

In many ways, she and Yat-chor are the leads and Yen is along for the ride, despite the fact that he gets the coolest scene (a battle aboard dirt bikes) and is usually the biggest face on the video box. The other, slightly longer interview with Yen, this time in English, similarly has the actor and filmmaker bigging up Hong Kong action movies and saying how tough his job is.

Though she’s doubled a fair amount, Khan can be seen in some of these hair-raising sequences, so kudos to her for giving it her all. The color reproduction is as close as one can get to the high dynamic range of a 4K without being 4K. Review: A bumbling but martial-arts proficient illegal alien (played by Yat Chor Yuen) in the USA witnesses some CIA agents killing some drug dealers for their drugs, and he ends up with some negatives that can prove it. In the 15min archival piece on Yen, the actor is shown on set directing and acting in a film, intercut with and played over an interview with him. Like Yeoh, Khan had a background in dance, though she also trained in martial arts once she’d landed this role.Working with Detective Constable Kat She never became a megastar but was still popular and made a slew of action movies throughout the 90s, following her In the Line of Duty success.

It’s not the most insightful of tracks, with Hammond often pointlessly describing the plot we already know after having watched the film, and Wong simply admiring the stunts. As with the other discs in the set, 88 Films includes an audio commentary featuring Frank Djeng, though this time, he is accompanied by Michael Worth (who also shows up in the track for the next film, following the two taking a sushi break). Yuen Woo-Ping directed it, and while the film isn’t especially well known as one of his best movies, it’s still a solid action entry. Khan has some great fight scenes, while Yen gets to show off his impressive (and lightning fast) fists and feet in some wowzer fights, the most memorable being with the hulking Michael Woods, playing a vicious CIA thug, and another one with future fight coordinator John Salvitti, who plays another CIA baddie. Travelling over to find him, Yeung and Donnie clash over policing styles, as well as the fact that Yeung believes Luk is innocent, whilst Donnie doesn’t.There are some incredible stunts too, including a couple of high falls and a terrifying sequence that sees characters fighting on and hanging off moving cars. If you can remember as far back as VHS, it sounds like the raspberry that you’d hear when a VHS player’s tracking was slightly out of sync.

It’s odd that Khan and Yen take a side seat for most of the first half of the film, whilst the story focuses on Luk and his plight. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. However, they still throw in some fun bits, like pointing out how the same airport appears in the first four films of the series and naming the cameos (that feel out of place, as they point out), while also throwing in a funny little story about a visit they made to Shaw Studios. It doesn’t help that Michael desperately tries to romance her in the midst of all the chaos, but despite the fact that she constantly refuses his advances, he won’t give up on her.English In the Line of Duty Titles (2:57) – the same credit sequence from the Cantonese version with English Language Credits for both Beginning and Ending Credits. and Royal Warriors (1986) kick-off the series with Michelle Yeoh (EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE) in the lead role of a female police officer, alongside Cynthia Rothrock as two tough-as-nails cops. English Trailer (5:30) – there are about 60 seconds of production logos, then another 60 seconds of recap before the trailer starts properly which accounts for the epic trailer run time.

It gets progressively more brutal as the film unfolds, at points getting as gory as an eighties video nasty. However, when it comes to subtitling (mere translation, timing the subs with the dialogue) this is where I'm seeing significant differences. Here from a wild Ambulance Chase (courtesy of lunatic genius car stuntman Blackie Ko and Woo-ping stunt team) to other rooftop chase scenes to the finale that’s set in about every conceivable location imagined in, around, atop a building. org, one of the premier destinations on the web to discuss DVD releases from The Criterion Collection, Masters of Cinema, and other DVD production companies from around the world.Incredibly violent and bloody, In the Line of Duty III has a couple of standout fights – particularly the climax that has Khan going one-on-two with the villains in a factory – and while the film is tightly edited and executed, there’s a sense of coldness to the proceedings that I found to be a little off-putting. In The Line of Duty, hier in Deutschland auch unter mehreren alternativ Titeln bekannt, ist ein kleiner rasanter B-Actionfilm aus HK. A couple of totally irrelevant but still kind of funny things occurred to me as I made my way through this collection. Donnie Yen isn't the main star of the film, but he is still involved in many action sequences in which he is remarkable.
