In The Line Of Duty / Ultra Force [1989] [DVD]

As with a lot of Hong Kong action movies, don't worry too much about the plot or acting. The stunts and fighting in this film are up there with the best Hong Kong offered in the mid-to-late eighties. Highlights include a thrilling motorbike chase and bone-crunching rooftop punch-up finale between Donnie Yen and Michael Woods. Cynthia Khan holds her own in all departments too, in a role that could almost have been written for a male cop. In real-life, Donnie Yen speaks excellent english, and his physical ability is on a par with Jet Li's or Jackie Chan's. And, dare I say it, he's probably the better actor too. I just wonder if Hollywood hasn't offered him anything "meaty" enough to tempt him to the west? If you enjoy this, check out 'Flashpoint' or "SPL" for a modern-take on this kind of Donnie Yen picture. Flashpoint [DVD ]

A decent donnie yen film, I would reccomend this action title to any donnie fans

Cracking action movie with Cynthia Khan and a fresh faced Donnie Yen, reminds me of police story but just a bit more serious, with excellent fight scenes (as I expect with any film starring Mr Yen ) for any fan of Hong Kong cinema this is a must see.

One of my favorite martial arts legends Donnie Yen great film and great story line I loved I. One of his best films to come out on dvd.

you don't know what action is until you have seen this movie. the stunts are spectacular, the fight choreography is so fluid - watch the slow motion especilly in the donnie yen michael woods fight at the end. it's pretty violent but this is hong kong cinema!

This film is no less than brilliant. The story line is excellent.An innocent guy gets arrested for murder and its up toDonnie Yen and Cynthia Kahn to protect him before the bad guys get to him. The other cop played by Michael Wong comes across good to start with but turns out he is on the baddie side. The action all through this film is brilliant, giving you just about enough time to get your breath back before the kicks and punches start again. Donnie Yen does fantastic martial art fighting and a final fight on a roof top towards the end of the movie is mind blowing which will prove to anyone watching him for the first time just how good he is. I have watched this movie several times and yet it never fails to amaze me how much hard work is put into it. So if you have not seen "In the line of duty" buy it today. You will not be sorry.
