“Super Cops” (1997)
(Dir. Yip Hing Fai)

A brother and sister travel to Zhuhai in Mainland China to search for employment with an uncle. They experience a number of mishaps and conflicts. In a separate plot thread Yukari plays a Tokyo Interpol agent sent to assist the local police, led by Cynthia Yang (Khan) and Waise Lee, arrest a drug smuggler (Billy Chow). Much of the movie is filler time spent on antics associated with the uncle and his restaurant, or on the activities of the smugglers. Nevertheless, Yukari plays her small role with considerable restraint and subtlety. Since she only speaks a few words during the entire movie, she acts more with facial expression and body language. The gang members eventually pick a fight with the restauranteur. For the most part the action is implausible, lacking any dramatic tension. It is not clear how Yukari and Cynthia Khan were invited to the drug smuggler’s birthday celebration. The final fight sequence (at the birthday party) is somewhat better than the rest of the movie. Yukari remains impressively athletic and eventually triumphs, although Khan’s role peters out. Yukari’s still worth watching, even if the rest of the movie is not.
