Core Production Details Director: Corey Yuen Starring: Yuen Biao as Hsia Ling-Cheng Cynthia Rothrock as Inspector Cindy Si Melvin Wong as Wong Ching-Wai

Unlike many contemporary Jackie Chan or Sammo Hung films of the 1980s which blended action with slapstick comedy, Righting Wrongs is notable for its dark, gritty, and often cynical tone, particularly regarding its multiple bleak endings.

The story follows Hsia Ling-Cheng (Yuen Biao), a dedicated prosecutor who becomes disillusioned when the legal system fails to convict a ruthless drug lord responsible for a witness's murder. Frustrated, Hsia decides to take the law into his own hands. His vigilante actions put him on a collision course with Inspector Cindy Si (Cynthia Rothrock), a tough-as-nails detective assigned to the case. As they clash over their ideologies, they eventually uncover a deeper web of police corruption.

This film solidified Cynthia Rothrock as a top-tier action star in Asia. Her fight scenes with Yuen Biao are often cited as some of the best male-versus-female combat sequences ever filmed.

The film features high-risk stunts, including a famous sequence where Yuen Biao hangs from a moving airplane, further establishing the "no-wires" realism of the era. 4. Critical Reception
