The Lady Is The Boss [Blu-ray] [Region A & B]: ÍøÆغÚÁÏ.co.uk: Chia-Liang Liu, Kara Ying Hung Wai, Hou Hsiao, Chia-Liang Liu, Chia-Liang Liu, Kara Ying Hung Wai: DVD & Blu-ray
A culture-clash comedy – with kung fu! A thoroughly Americanised young woman (Kara Hui, The 8 Diagram Pole Fighter) returns to Hong Kong to visit the martial arts school founded by her father and shakes it up with some trendy new ideas. But not everyone is keen on her innovations, a lesson she'll have to learn the hard way.
Directed by and starring the great Lau Kar-leung (The Shadow Boxing), The Lady is the Boss blends fun and fighting as only he could – and those fights are some of the very best of his illustrious career. 88 Films are delighted to present the UK Blu-ray premier of an action classic.

I was glad to see this later Liu Chia-Liang/Shaw Brothers film get a blu-ray release - it's a really fun film that takes the culture clash comedy of My Young Auntie and turns it around. To some, it might look like a product of its era in the 80s with the fashion and use of BMXs (but the chase scene involving these is great), but there's much to enjoy here. This is especially the case for the incredible finale that all takes place in a gym - it's among the very best Shaw Brothers finales and shows the ace director adapting his skills for the upcoming age of Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung. Well worth purchasing.
