About

One of the shining jewels of the dismissively titled ‘girls with guns’ Hong Kong action subgenre, She Shoots Straight is an endlessly inventive thrill ride.

Joyce Godenzi stars as Inspector Mina, a member of the Hong Kong police force. When her romantic partner and fellow officer, Inspector Huang (Tony Leung Ka-fai), is targeted by a violent gang, Mina teams up with Huang's sister Chia-Ling (Carina Lau) to seek revenge. Godenzi excels in the lead role, proving as adroit at the surprisingly heartfelt family drama as she is at the bone-crunching fights and death-defying stunts. Directed by acclaimed choreographer Corey Yuen, She Shoots Straight is among the most breathtaking action films of the 1990s.
