BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

white_fang-84633 One of my favorite fight scene is when Joyce kicks Agnes between the legs and she falls down in agony and pain. After she recovers she tries to kick Joyce but Joyce quickly reacts and jumps up and knees Agnes in the crotch again and kicks her in her boobs ending the fight.

Leofwine_draca SHE SHOOTS STRAIGHT is another winner from director Corey Yuen and another instalment in the hugely popular girls-with-guns sub-genre of action films from Hong Kong. This one stars Mrs. Sammo Hung herself, Joyce Godenzi (perhaps best known for her supporting role in EASTERN CONDORS) playing a cop on the trail of some Vietnamese refugees with a fine line in robbery and murder. Godenzi contends with a goofy husband (the likable Tony Leung), a rubbish superior, Sammo himself in support, and lots of jealous female family members.This is very much an action film with the emphasis on the action. There's a whole lot of shooting and chasing going on, and Godenzi shows herself to be up to the job, rivalling the likes of Cynthia Khan at times. The martial arts sequences are kept quite brief but the film has a very fast pace and plenty of violent incident to enjoy. I was particularly delighted to find that Yuen Wah once again plays the villain and burns up the screen with his presence alone. There's a slow fifteen minutes in the middle of the film where everyone wallows in grief interminably, but the rest is thoroughly entertaining.

OllieSuave-007 This is an intense action movie from Hong Kong, featuring Joyce Godenzi as an Inspector Mina Kao, who faces a gang of dangerous Vietnamese criminal refugees.The acting was quite good, especially those of the Godenzi, Carina Lau, Sandra Ng and Anglie Leung. They all play policewoman and, sometimes, rather furiously and dramatic. Actor Tony Leung has a touching co-starring role in the film as well. Sammo Hung also has a role, but unfortunately, he didn't do much with his character and his cameo appearances didn't contribute to the plot much. It was actually quite a distraction to the story.The English title of the movie, Lethal Lady, pretty much describes the film to a T. The policewomen faced a family tragedy and must defeat the Vietnamese gang in the process, relying on the strengths of their colleagues and family to overcome their adversities. While a little in certain moments, the film does suffer from a lack of humor and suspense, and there is a limited amount of action, mostly sequestered toward the latter half of the plot.Overall, it an average movie full of rage and overkill moments. There are better stuff out there but won't hurt to watch on a slow day.Grade C

unbrokenmetal Corey Yuen's "She Shoots Straight" is not only a good action movie - it's above the average due to the tragic drama/character bits. There is a beautiful scene when a mother celebrates her birthday, not knowing yet that her son was killed by gangsters - some party guests witnessed it, yet nobody has the heart to tell her the sad news. Most genre movies would rather take a break from the action for for a little comedy scene in between. "She Shoots Straight" is one class above that. Anyhow, the story is basically quite simple, about the Hong Kong police fighting gangsters, and after the above mentioned guy was killed, his young widow (Joyce Godenzi), sisters and even his mom (what a great role for an old lady!) do everything they can to avenge him, while his former police colleagues are not a big help. Talking about the fights in "She Shoots Straight", particularly impressive is the violent clash of Joyce Godenzi versus Agnes Aurelio.
