Rare UK screening of the 1985 Hong Kong action thriller 'Yes, Madam!' with English subtitles, presented by Satori Screen at QUAD.
QUAD is screening Yes, Madam! on Friday 4 December, part of their Satori Screen night. It's a 1985 Hong Kong action thriller directed by Corey Yuen and produced by Sammo Hung, and it's being billed as a rare UK screening of the film. The night kicks off with an introduction by QUAD's Film & Marketing Officer Peter Munford, so there's a bit of context before the movie starts.
If you're not familiar with it, Yes, Madam! gave Michelle Yeoh and Cynthia Rothrock their first starring roles as tough-as-nails police inspectors. The two investigate the murder of a British agent, a trail that leads to two unlucky thieves who need protection from a ruthless crime boss. It runs 93 minutes in Cantonese with English subtitles. The film went on to launch the In The Line Of Duty franchise and sparked a wave of 'girls-with-guns' imitators across Hong Kong over the next decade.
The screening is part of Satori Screen, QUAD's monthly night dedicated to rare opportunities to see East Asian cinema on the big screen. It's a good way to catch titles that don't usually make it into UK cinemas, and this one is a genuine rarity. QUAD itself is a Derby cinema and registered charity that puts its bar and cinema profits back into its charitable work, and it runs descriptive subtitled screenings and Audio Description.
