Yes, Madam was released and re-released on home media under various titles. In the United States, it was first released under the title Supercops. [19] Along with Royal Warriors - another film starring Yeoh, Yes, Madam was released under the title Ultra Force 1 and Ultra Force 2 respectively in the European market. [20] Elsewhere, the films were re-titled In the Line of Duty and In the Line of Duty 2. [5] The In the Line of Duty films received several sequels. [21] [22] Andrew Hernandez on So Close | Blu-ray (88 Films) Agh! Why does it have to be Region B only!? This was a fun movie! This is a m… Unreleased theatrically in the United States and only available as a Hong Kong laserdisc and VHS tape with bilingual subtitles, Yes, Madam! was easier to see in the UK where it was released theatrically in 1986 and then on video as "Police Assassins" with Royal Warriors retitled as a sequel to that. Stateside, Tai Seng imported the non-anamorphic Hong Kong Universe DVD for their 1998 DVD while Hong Kong Legends took advantage of the Fortune Star remaster for their anamorphic 2002 special edition DVD. PLUS: A Limited-Edition collector's booklet (First print run of 2000 copies only) featuring new writing by James Oliver

In Yeoh’s interview, the actress talks about her film career. She talks a lot about Supercop and only a little about Yes, Madam but it’s an interesting watch nonetheless. Hong Kong Cut featuring: Cantonese Original Theatrical Mix Mono & Cantonese (Home Video Mix) Mono Original Effects Commentary One - this exclusive new audio commentary was recorded by critics Mike Leeder and Arne Venema. The two gentlemen have done plenty of commentaries for various classic and popular older action and martial arts Hong Kong films, so if you have sampled any of them, you would know what to expect from this commentary as well. I liked it quite a lot because I thought that virtually all of the descriptions about the retro personality and action of Yes, Madam! were spot on. As usual, there are plenty of outstanding, very informative comments about the careers of all actors with notable parts in the film as well.Launching both a successful franchise (the In the Line of Duty series) as well as an entire sub-genre of action cinema (“girls-with-guns” – a genre which did not truly exist before this film), Yes, Madam! is one of the most important and influential action films of its era, and Eureka Classics is proud to present the film in its UK debut on Blu-ray from a brand new 2K restoration.

The Hong Kong version of Yes, Madam! looks very similar to Royal Warriors in many respects, namely in how the colors are rendered, but when all is said and done, this presentation looks noticeably better. Things come out stronger in the areas of overall detail and grain rendering. Some grain management is still evident in places, yet the image is less waxy overall, with a sharper film texture present. A few smokey interiors, like an early interrogation scene, can highlight that grain, but it looks natural and clean during these moments.Meyers, Ric (2011). Films of Fury: The Kung Fu Movie Book. Eirini Press. ISBN 978-0979998942 . Retrieved 24 February 2013. From a recent master, Yes, Madam sports excellent detail in close and when still. Grain is easily resolved thanks to a fine encode. Sharpness holds firm too. Yes, Madam doesn’t entirely come together, because the two sides of the film just don’t mesh, and for me the energy drops a lot when it’s wading through long comedy sequences (including one with guest appearances from Sammo Hung and Richard Ng). When the focus is on the action, it’s stunningly good, but that’s really only about a third of the film, and for my liking, that ratio is the wrong way round.

Ska Martes on Believer 2 (2023) Review Disappointing but not surprising that this is just more useless Netflix conte… It’s a similar deal with Yes, Madam!. Hong Kong legend Corey Yuen’s sophomore feature is, to put it mildly, a severely compromised product which barely hangs together a lot of the time and holds up better as a moment of historical significance than a movie in its own right.Like with the Yes, Madam! release, which I’m going to assume this was produced at the same time as, no women get to offer their takes or historical expertise on the movie and that still feels like a major failure on the part of Eureka Entertainment. (And I promise I’m not just saying this because I am friends with female critics and film historians who would champ at the bit for a chance to get work on these.)
