Magnificent Warriors (1987)

aka: Dynamite Fighters / Zhong hua zhan shi

I love Michelle Yeoh; she's beautiful, dynamic and full of balletic grace.
This Indy Jones style romp is one of her earliest roles; it’s fun but not groundbreaking. If you know Michelle’s work, you'll know she can do much better. If, however, all you know her from is that fucking James Bond film and are new to Chinese cinema then do yourself a favour and seek out her Hong Kong films.
