'Yes, Madam '92' : A serious Shock Death Triangle'. (1993) - Albert Lai.
Moon Lee goes absolutely-phooken postal in the rather uneven Cat III curiosity 'Yes, Madam '92' : A Serious Shock Death Triangle'. This occasionally bizarro, somewhat skewed shoot 'em up is bejewelled with the irrepressible, hard-hitting, head-splitting hell-cats of heroic bloodshed: Cynthia Khan, Moon Lee, and Yukari Oshima. If, like me, you righteously groove on adrenaline-soaked, female-led fight flicks with deliriously acrobatic action-overload, heightened by voluminous Foley, then, Albert Lai's off-beat HK crime/female scorned potboiler is not one to miss. The rather unwieldy title is a reference to the hugely ill-fated love triangle that inspires all the conspicuously unheroic bloodshed herein. This frequently feels like some demented martial arts melodrama, since the erratic tone, and unexpectedly loopy narrative threw me a bit. The very early scene wherein Moon Lee's excessively volatile detective May annihilates a fellow cop in an ostensibly friendly sparring match kinda suggests all is not well within May's outwardly delectable noggin.
