If you think action movies are all testosterone, think again! We have three movies for you, with ladies kicking some serious butt. You'd better hope that you're not on the wrong side of vengeance, messed with a police officer/martial arts instructor's family, and that you haven't been stealing babies!
A child conceived to become an instrument of vengeance? Probably not the best situation to be born into. But she does manage to display some wonderful umbrella sword-related blood spraying and splattering for us. Meiko Kaji IS Lady Snowblood (1973)!
An unfortunate mistake causes a martial arts instructor to leave a big city police force, returning to small town Utah, where some rich jerk and his goons are ruining everything. Including eliminating her father, the local sheriff! Can she become the new sheriff, thanks to an emergency election, and make things safe again for the innocent townspeople? Cynthia Rothrock IS China O'Brien (1990)!
And then from there, babies are being stolen and taken to the underworld, with one set to become the emperor of China, and the others destined to become evil minions of the Grandmaster! What the hell? Only three women from different perspectives can possibly stop this madness! Maggie Cheung, Michelle Yeoh, and Anita Mui ARE The Heroic Trio (1993)!
