About
This screening will be introduced by Robert Hughes, Australian Cinémathèque.
An exhilarating, underseen jolt of Hong Kong cinema, She Shoots Straight stars Joyce Godenzi 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. Filled with death-defying stunts and breathtakingly inventive action, the film is one of the shining jewels of the so-called 'girls with guns' Hong Kong action subgenre and a high point of the all-too-brief screen career of Joyce Godenzi.
