Tough Beauty and Sloppy Slop (Hong Kong, 1995) vcd 3/5

A decently entertaining Hong Kong action flick with Yuen Biao and Cynthia Khan paying homage to Jackie Chan’s Supercop, with Khan going undercover in jail to befriend the wife of a drug kingpin and Biao breaking them out and joining into the operation.

Cynthia Khan plays her usual sexless no nonsense pretty cop who just so happens to be able to kick your butt. Yuen Biao as her new partner, butts heads with her throughout. Some actor named Monsour Del Rosario (maybe his uncle financed the movie) plays a mainland police contact, and he’s actually pretty good. Yuen Wah has a great guest appearance in the opening action sequence and Billy Chow is the big boss. Waise Lee actually isn’t bad as the top lieutenant to Billy Chow.

With all that star power you’d expect something maybe great but this Philippine cheapy had TWO directors with almost no experience (both long time Action Directors on movies), so what we get is entertaining within the realm of girls with guns movies made in the Philippines. Don’t get me wrong, it’s actually pretty funny at times and has a ton of action (the final showdown between Khan/Biao and Chow is great), it just could’ve used a better hand at guiding it all.

I need a dvd of this and Biao's The Hunted Hunter.

Monsour del Rosario is a popular star in Filipino films. He's also the country's taekwondo ambassador. Check him out in Bloodfist 2 and Aan: Men at Work (he even trained Akshay Kumar for some of the kicking techniques he uses in the film). Here's an on set pic of Monsour,  Akshay,  and a very familiar face, Xing Yu of Kung Fu Hustle

Thank you, great information! I was curious as he's pretty darn good in the movie.
