What happens

Yes, Madam (simplified Chinese: 皇家师姐; traditional Chinese: 皇家師姐; pinyin: Huángjiā Shījiě; Jyutping: Wong Gaa Si Ze) is a 1985 Hong Kong action film directed by Corey Yuen, and produced by Sammo Hung, who also appears in a cameo in the film. The film stars Michelle Yeoh as Senior Inspector Ng who teams up with Inspector Carrie Morris (Cynthia Rothrock) to get a hold of microfilm which has been taken unknowingly by low level thieves Asprin (Mang Hoi) and Strepsil (John Shum).
