Yes, Madam!18

Directed by Corey Yuen Kwai | Hong Kong | 1985 | 1h 33m | Cantonese w/ English subtitles | Starring Michelle Yeoh, Cynthia Rothrock, John Sham, Hoi Mang, Hark Tsui

While investigating the murder of a British agent, two tough police inspectors uncover a pair of thieves who have accidentally stolen an incriminating microfilm. With a notorious crime gang determined to recover the evidence, the inspectors must protect the thieves and bring the criminals to justice. In her first leading role, Michelle Yeoh, alongside Cynthia Rothrock, helped launch a successful franchise and a new sub-genre of action cinema with this high-energy, ass-kicking Hong Kong crime saga.

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road. We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We don’t show adverts, just a couple of trailers, so don't be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
