She Shoots Straight

Asian Action Cast

In memory and tribute to the late, great Corey Yuen, we honour his legacy by delving into his 1990 action-melodrama, She Shoots Straight. This action packed Joyce Godenzi vehicle takes us into the lives of a blue-blood-esque police family where (Big) Tony Leung marries Joyce’s Mina and brings her into his family of female cops.
Everything is cranked up to 11 with the action being some of the most bone breaking, back crunching stunt work you’ve seen. Joyce proves herself an adept fighter with her dancing background as she moves, kicks, punches and parkours with the best of them. The drama is also jacked up with emotional deaths and an incredibly sleazy and uncomfortable performance by David Lau.
Corey Yuen himself makes a cameo appearance in traditional Corey style, as a cigarette smoking, sweaty dock worker – ever the working man. She Shoots Straight contains all your Corey Yuen trademarks with visceral action, heightened violence and dramatic tension. This also contains probably the craziest most badass stunt ever recorded with Yuen Wah leaping with a motorbike, must be seen to be believed!
