Cynthia Rothrock stars as a U.S. cop who goes under cover
as a reporter to try to smash a counterfeiting ring in Hong Kong. The
Hong Kong police aren't really happy that somebody is invading their territory
and there is competition between her and the HK cops. Cynthia also just
happens to be the friend of the prosecutor's daughter in this case. After
the prosecutor is kidnapped and drugged to erase his memory, he is hospitalized.
A HK cop poses as an insurance investigator to get leads on the case from
the daughter but finds out little until a reporter provides pictures of
the car used to do the kidnapping. The kidnappers are found but the daughter
soon gets kidnapped while visiting her father in the hospital. It is up
to Cynthia and the HK cop to rescue her and solve the case.
BLONDE FURY is an average movie that is similar to the IN THE LINE OF
DUTY series. What really makes this movie stand out is Cynthia Rothrock's
action scenes. Even if you hate the movie, there's no denying that the
fights are well done. Cynthia has a few moves that are very reminiscent
of Jet Li. While not unique in Hong Kong cinema, there are some moves
that you will notice are in some of today's Hollywood films. There is
a wall walk similar to the one in the MATRIX. There is also a kick much
like the one Jet Li does toward the end of ROMEO MUST DIE. Any use of
a stunt double for Cynthia is also well hidden in this movie.
