This one is full of action, great fighting and as melodramatic as can be. Michelle is a spunky cop, who befriends Michael Wong (a security officer) and Mr. Yamamoto, a Japanese cop on the verge of retiring from the force. In a spectacular scene aboard a plane, they all do away with a hi-jacker, gaining some recognition and fame. But they later find out that the hi-jacker has two loyal but psycho friends who will do anything to gain revenge for their veteran buddy. During the middle of the movie, the sap is poured on thick, as we see Mr. Yamamoto attempt to finally become the infinite family man to his lovely wife and adorable child, only to watch them get killed off. As if we didn't know THAT was going to happen. Though Michael Wong is the annoying puppy dog in this movie, Michelle is high flying and Mr. Yamamoto will amaze. Overall, the fighting choreography is spectacular, which makes Royal Warriors a definitive staple in HK action cinema.
