    Obsessed with what appears to be a bootleg (?) VHS of Dean Stockwell's In the Line of Duty TV film. -They've inexplicably renamed it Rap Gang, and put Rap on top like in MS Paint? -The picture on the side is a still from Quantum Leap -They think this is worth $123 (plus $22 shipping)

    I like film series: Cracker, Line of Duty. I wrote a book about Robin of Sherwood. But I think they should exist alongside multi-camera drama. Single-camera isn’t always appropriate. 30/

    If the average Timo Tjahjanto movie is the modern equivalent of Hard Boiled, then Striking Rescue is a good Iron Angels or In the Line of Duty III equivalent. Not S tier, but a ton of fun.

    Whoever did City on Fire isn't as fluent as they say and there's a line they obviously half guessed in the interrogation scene because it's impossible to get it wrong the way did. These same people also translated Bonnie and Clyde as 'male and female thieves' for the third In the Line of Duty movie.

    I love the tangled web of the In the Line of Duty HK film series, in which the first proper entry is Part III, & several others are also Parts 1 or 2 of differently named series (Police Assassins or Yes, Madam). And that's before we even get onto Michelle Yeoh being billed as Michelle Khan or Kheng

  • Ginger @gingerpimpernel.bsky.socialBluesky · Jul 3, 2026

    This is actually from 'Righting Wrongs' - Cynthia Rothrock wasn't in any of the Yes Madam sequels. Michelle Yeoh was still in the second film, then she left and Cynthia Khan (who also rules) took over. 'In The Line of Duty' 3 and 4 are a heap of fun, and they kind of dip a little after that.

    Share an actual fight scene with actual humans made by actual humans 🖤 To keep the In Line of Duty series theme, here's Michelle Yeoh in Royal Warriors (1986) being a baddie. The movie also features Hiroyuki Sanada, and his scenes are just as badass.

    I think you could make a case for In the Line of Duty IV being the "most" action movie ever. There is no element of plot or character that won't be leveraged to excuse an extra punch or kick. There might be more individual kicks than words in this entire movie.

    Something I like about Hong Kong action movies is how sometimes they don't bother giving their characters names. Donnie Yen plays Officer Donnie Yen in In The Line of Duty 4. Michael Wong plays Captain Michael Wong in the same movie, not reprising his role of Michael Wong from Royal Warriors.

    In the Line of Duty 3 is doesn't have either lead from either of the first two films (Yes Madam and Royal Warriors), but I think it's better than both of them. the fourth film is another uptick, but doesn't count because it keeps Cynthia Kahn in the lead.
