    Inspectors wear skirts, but I remember as being called Top Squad, female martial arts and comedy, Sibelle Hu Cynthia Rothrock, I loved these films, to me they are lots of fun to watch, bit silly in places, like the ice skating scene, but it’s good harmless fun, it’s not everyone’s taste, if you like female martial arts, I think this is very good, the quality is good, great to see these films back on the shelf to buy, i like these type of films, to me it’s definitely 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    4.0 out of 5 stars Classic female led Hong Kong martial arts movie
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 April 2024
    Sibelle Hu teams up with Cynthia Rothrock in this 1988 action comedy. Originally released in the UK as Top Squad, it's an ensemble Police Academy knock off as Hu and Rothrock whip a bunch of unlikely ladies into an elite fighting force. It leans more into comedy than action but when they do throw down, the fight scenes are great, thanks in part to Jackie Chan's stunt team. Rothrock's role is limited but she really shines in her fights, particularly in her weapons duel with Kara Hui Vs Jeff Falcon in the final showdown. There's some weird scenes - the musical number in a Roller skating rink feels like it's from a totally different movie altogether - but it's clear that everyone is having a lot of fun and you can't help be charmed by the whole thing. There's a few very non pc references but it's a 35 year old movie so it's probably to be expected. 88 Films have done a striking job with the new transfer and there's a host of enjoyable extras including interviews with star Rothrock and director Welson Chin. Overall a solid release and it's great to see these often forgotten movies getting a new lease of life decades after they first saw release.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Funny for the kind of movie it is
    Reviewed in the United States on 25 February 2003

    If you're looking for something meaningful and insightful, this isn't the movie you're looking for. If you're looking for some Hong Kong slapstick comedy or looking for a decent kung fu flick, this could be exactly what you're looking for, especially if what you want to see is some bad*** women deal the kung fu.
    I first watched this as a 10 year old at home with my family, and we watched on and on, laughing till our bellies split.
    The premise is simple. The Hong Kong authorities want to assemble a unit of female commandos, kind of like an all-girl swat team. This is the comical story of their "boot camp." Sibelle Hu plays the training unit's tough-as-nails 'drill sergeant.' Throughout training, the female brigade's rival are the boys training for an all-male unit. Admist the hilarious training fiascos, these girls also make time out of their day to play pranks on the boys in a sorority versus fraternity fashion. And when there's no training to goof up or boys to make fun of, they play pranks on each other- not all of them get along. Admist all of this, they even go beat up unfaithful boyfriends for each other.
    Seeing that her unit needs some serious work, Sibelle Hu enlists the help of a comrade. Enter Cynthia Rothrock. She "substitute" teaches the unit of Chinese trainees to help Sibelle get the girls' acts together. It's hilarious when the girls realize they were better off with Sibelle, because Cynthia is even more hardcore than their original instructor. So, when Sibelle and Cynthia join forces, the group of slowly grow into something like the elite unit they're supposed to be.
    Aside from the laughs (and there are plenty of those in this film!) there are some really good martial arts scenes. Towards the end of the film, Cynthia has an awesome showdown with a jewel theif- when he uses Monkey Style against her, she shifts tactics and busts out the Praying Mantis style to counter.
    One word describes this movie- goofy. If you want some good ol' goofy laughs and a nice bite of kung fu to go with it, this is it.

    3.0 out of 5 stars When Women Wear Badges...
    Reviewed in the United States on 23 September 2009
    Verified Purchase
    Arriving in the middle of Hong Kong's 'girls with guns' revival period was "Tyrant Flower", better known to English-speaking fans as "The Inspector Wears Skirts" - a typical Hong Kong action/comedy police flick with the twist that most of the main stars are ladies. However, to get right to the point, it's not the best of its kind: Corey Yuen set the bar high for this specific subgenre when he did Yes, Madam!, but even though "Inspector" retains one of that film's leading ladies (the amazing Cynthia Rothrock), it's neither the best movie to recruit new Hong Kong fans nor the ideal tool to make male chauvinists squirm with discomfort. Director Wellson Chin (Tsui Hark's Vampire Hunters) has managed to craft a decent little time-killer for those who like seeing girls kicking butt...but only if those same viewers don't mind dealing with a bit of shallowness and silly chick antics.

    The story: tough commando Madam Hu (Sibelle Hu, My Lucky Stars) is recruited to train a hand-picked squad of policewomen to become specialists in diffusing hostage situations. Faced with the task of turning a group of pretty girls, narcissists, and nervous nellies into ideal law enforcers, she enlists the help of her comrade Madam Law (Rothrock, Above the Law) to teach the giggling girls the ropes of apprehending terrorists; it will take their combined efforts to prepare them to take on a pack of deadly jewel thieves looking to steal one of Hong Kong's most precious diamonds.

    Actually, Cynthia Rothrock isn't in the movie too much: she's in the opening fight, wielding what looks like a ten-pound revolver, and re-enters the film 50 minutes later to send the girls-in-training on psych-out missions and have a part in the climatic battle against Billy Falcon (Six-String Samurai). These fight scenes and the stunts included are easily the strongest part of the film: though there's some obvious doubling, you can't beat the scenes in which Sibelle and Cynthia thwart a suicide bomber with a flagpole, a three-on-one weapons encounter involving a staff, sword, and three-section nunchaku, and a daredevil stunt featuring dropkick delivered from 15 feet off the ground. Even the cast members who aren't real martial artists shine, making the action scenes alone worth the cost.

    By Hong Kong standards, the acting is pretty good: Sandra Ng (Portland Street Blues) was honored with a nomination for "Most Promising Newcomer" at the Hong Kong Film Awards for her performance, but none of the rest of the cast - including Regina Kent (Legacy of Rage), Kara Hui (My Young Auntie), and Ellen Chan (The Eternal Evil of Asia) as members of the squad - do any real injustice as far as their resumes go. With that being said, the film is a bit too Hong Kong-styled when it comes to its elaborate dialogue, head-scratching humor, and general on-screen alien tidbits that probably make sense to Cantonese audiences but are alien to me (e.g. a whole subplot includes Sandra Ng's character being passed over by men because she's ugly, but it took me a while to catch on because...well, she's not really ugly at all). Keep this in mind before looking for laughs.

    Alas, the movie goes into chick-flick mode for a good 40 minutes when the girls go to a skating rink, witness a completely impromptu musical scene, and get two-timed by a double-dating jerk played by Michael Chow. I was disappointed that the film didn't consciously make any sort of social observation regarding women in law enforcement: sure, the men grumble a bit and try to undermine the girls, but there's no real moment of redemption in which the ladies stick it to their male detractors beyond any doubt (and if you think there is, then the on-screen guys certainly don't get it). Granted, something like that may have alienated certain members of audience, but for a movie that tackles a very realistic and global social issue, it doesn't have a whole lot to say on the matter, meaning you only get what you see. Not a bad movie, but you're going to have to a be a fan of one of the cast to get the most out of it.
