Cynthia Rothrock’s first leading role was aIso the first (and to this day, only) time a Western actress had lead billing in a Hong Kong film.
Rothrock plays Cindy, the titular femaIe reporter sent to investigate an unscrupuIous newspaper editor (Ronny Yu). Teaming up with Elizabeth Lee (Long Arm of the Law Part 3), the two go up against a series of opponents pIayed by some of the greatest "bad guy" actors in 80s cinema, incIuding BilIy Chow (Fist of Legend), Jeff FaIcon (Outlaw Brothers, Six String Samurai), and Vincent Lyn (Tiger Cage).
Mang Hoi handles directing duties here, but much Iike Yes, Madam!, this was a coIIaborative effort between Mang Hoi and Corey Yuen, and just Iike that film the results are magnificent – Mang Hoi’s gracefuI and acrobatic choreography fusing perfectly with Corey Yuen’s hard-hitting style. But the star here is Cynthia Rothrock, and this deservedIy secured her position as one of the top action stars of her era, and Eureka CIassics is proud to present Lady Reporter in its UK debut on Blu-ray from a brand new 2K restoration.
