Hong Kong Action Sundays
Chicks, Kicks & Flicks
Sun 3 - Sun 24 Nov
From the peak-80s action fun of Yes, Madam!, which stars season staple Michelle Yeoh alongside a brilliant Cynthia Rothrock, through to the wild B-movie silliness of The Heroic Trio in 1993, this Sunday strand of Hong Kong titles is drawn from the end of the golden age of Hong Kong action cinema, when the tables were turning and women were very much at the fore.
