Mang Hoi’s 1989 Action Adventure Thriller BLONDE FURY (plenty blonde, not so much fury) kicks a lot of ass, and with style! Cynthia Rothrock’s she-devil (sporting hilariously unflattering nicknames throughout the movie) demonstrates why she is the foreign queen of the Hong Kong Action Box Office.
Rounding out her F.R.I.E.N.D’s are Chin Siu Ho’s less capable sex pest, Elizabeth Lee’s sweet but window dressing Judy and the director Mang Hoi’s bumbling comic relief journalist. Together they take on Ronny Yu’s bombastic and immensely fun villain Ronny Dak.
It’s not perfect, everyone’s an undercover cop, hairstyles improbably change between scenes, the plot is almost incoherent BUT the fashion is cute and on point, Jeffrey Falcon’s ‘Thug’ and his double dragon buddy Vincent Lyn put on a fantastic sub boss fight and Billy Chau has a sexual innuendo laden banter with Cynthia! On second thought, it IS perfect! Watch it, then listen to our podcast and relive it again!
