Cynthia Rothrock is the American FBI agent who goes to Hong Kong to capture a man who has evidence against a bigger criminal. There she has to team up with two local cops and face an army of killers who are also after her target. I've seen about 10 Cynthia Rothrock films so far, and "City Cops" has perhaps some of her best fight scenes ever. She is in GREAT form here, intense and aggressive, and at the end she gets to face (for the only time in her career) the elastic Japanese goddess Michiko Nishiwaki. She also looks quite pretty in this one, and her target's sister is a real cutie as well. Of course the movie has its flaws (there is too much bantering between the two HK cops, and too much time is spent on their romantic complications), but I'm still giving it a high rating (*** out of 4) just for the fights. Any Cynthia fan should definitely see this.

This is one of those reviews where I find myself asking "Isn't there anything good you can say about this movie?" Answer = no. The plot is random scene or setting where the actors have a random misunderstanding. There are many attempts at humor and they not only fail but become insufferable. It is hard to believe that AIDS was once comedy material. "You got AIDS!" and everyone laughs.

The end final fight was a warehouse set and Cynthia and Michiko were primed to have at it. It was too little and too late.

I watched it once to write this review and I will never watch it again.

I didn't have high expectations about this movie but i was really surprised. This film impressed me with its fight scenes, some good jokes(most of them were lame)and with the cast involved: Cynthia Rothrock, Michiko Nishiwaki & Mark Houghton. The final fight between Cynthia and Michiko didn't disappoint but i wanted to be a lil' bit longer. Ms.Rothrock had the same role that she had in films like: Yes Madam&Righting Wrongs. She plays convincingly her role and not like she was playing in one of her US movies. I like a lot her Chinese movies, are so much better than her US movies. Even Prince of the Sun (the last movie she had done in China) was better than China O'Brien for example. All in all this movie remains until this day a classic, believe or not, and Cynthia Rothrock's fans should not miss this one.

This movie is not that bad,but it'd have been better,if the final fight between Cynthia Rothrock and Michiko Nishiwaki had lasted longer,since both these actresses are greatly skilled in martial arts and therefore they should have displayed their fighting abilities more than they did.Instead of wanting to be funny, ironic at any cost,something which happens in almost any Hong Kong movie,it would have been far more interesting to see the differences between the two styles of fighting(Rothrock and Nishiwaki 's ). The acting of the whole cast is however unluckily blameworthy,anyway,as I said at the beginning of my review,it's not such a bad movie and I even think,it needs even a sequel;after all,if you have seen this movie, you'll know that Cynthia's opponent hasn't taken her revenge yet.

FBI agent Cynthia Rothrock travels to the Far East to investigate the disappearance of a key witness withholding incriminating evidence against the Japanese mafia and its hoard of gweilo minions. A couple of crass CID officers (played by Kirk Miu and Shing Fui-on) get involved and end up dominating the film, tagging the informant's sister to gather more evidence.

This Hong Kong actioner leans more towards comedy, some of it can be coarse and in bad taste, like it is in some Hong Kong productions, however I found the comic CID duo and their interactions quite amusing. Cynthia Rothrock has less screen time, and mainly here when there's time for some high-kicking action. The fight choreography here is quite good here- nice samurai sword play against Cynthia's double swords. A showdown with a Japanese babe at the finale. Not on the par with Yes,madam or Righting Wrongs, but still an entertaining and fun slice of comedy and kung fu.
