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.

All-in-all then, Eureka continue to do justice to classic martial arts movies from Hong Kong. Highly recommended. This is a typically excellent presentation from Eureka. At times it even seems like we’re watching a much more recent film – well it would if it wasn’t for the fashions. An attempt at colour coding here and there makes it look visually very appealing at times, and the grain is extremely evenly managed. 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. JJ Bona on So Close | Blu-ray (88 Films) From what I gathered it was Region B (they seem to label their A/B releases p… But the significant inclusion is a whole other version of the film, the alternate English-language Export Version, running a few minutes shorter and featuring the alternate title In the Line of Duty II: The Supercops. It trims a handful of scenes to shorten its length, but the oddest difference is the film’s opening. Not only does it completely excise the introduction of Yeoh’s character (who now first appears after the opening robbery instead of before), but it also adds an entire action sequence from a completely different film, Where’s Officer Tuba? I have no clue as to why this was done (and I’m aware this was not a unique case with this film), but it leads to a whole sequence with entirely different characters, has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the film, and then never comes up again. I can’t say I’ll ever revisit it, but I’m sure it will be a welcome offering for those who were introduced to the film in this manner. For everyone else, it’s more of a bizarre curiosity.

I was listening to the exclusive new audio commentary that Mike Leeder and Arne Venema recorded for this Blu-ray release of Yes, Madam! and they made a couple of points that I think sum up its attractiveness very well. One of these gentlemen was living in Hong Kong at the time when the film was made and mentions what I think is unmissable, which is that Yes, Madam! has a very Miami Vice-esque look. What does this mean exactly? It means that Yes, Madam! unintentionally preserves the 1980s identity of Hong Kong, which covers everything from the way people used to dress there -- mixing plenty of pure white clothing, fancy glasses, watches, and handbags -- to the cars they loved to drive, the places that they hyped, and the creeps they knew they had to avoid. Simply put, the Hong Kong that you see in Yes, Madam! is not the Hong Kong of the present. But all cities have changed since the 1980s, so why should it be surprising that Hong Kong has done the same as well? Because in Yes, Madam! the 1980s identity of Hong Kong is as crucial for its attractiveness as is its action. To be honest, I do not think that Yuen intended Yes, Madam! to be that kind of memorable time capsule, but it is, and it is exactly why the commentators mention it. Just so you know, I thought that this was very obvious and did not listen to the commentary until I was done viewing Yes, Madam!, so as soon as the Miami Vice reference was made, I smiled. Bingo. Yes, Madam! is very, very retro, and if you appreciate the value of retro, you will have a great time with it. together, it may be nothing other than the fact that these are so-called "girls with guns" outings, where the focal character is kinda sorta a Hong KongAndrew Hernandez on The White Storm 3: Heaven or Hell (2023) Review I had hopes for this one after MAAC gave it a positive review. Hopefully this… The booklet contains another illuminating essay from James Oliver. He has some interesting takes on the film, which can come across as a little negative in a few places but what he says is hard to disagree with.
