Plot summary

Wong Hsia Yuan is an old-fashioned martial arts master who's so behind the times that he'd rather his school be destroyed than change its ways. He may get his wish, thanks to the young, beautiful, intelligent Chan Mei Ling, who arrives from the states to open a new branch of the school. Armed with an unfamiliar, modern way of thinking, Mei Ling goes about recruiting new students in strange, and sometimes questionably legal ways. Yuan is furious, but when the local triads enter the picture, the two put their differences aside to take back the neighborhood.

quirky and creative meeting of old school and new school

now, with most martial arts films before the mid 90's i suspend all deep criticism of plot, acting, and all that other stuff. for what it is i feel this is a highly entertaining film. but you can't go wrong with this director for some great action choreography. it is such a creative piece that is always surprising the viewer with different styles / props / situations for martial arts. also, if you're an avid martial arts fan you'll recognize a lot of faces from a number of interesting shaw brother films (sorry, bad with the names...the disciple from "mad monkey kung fu", the disciple from "36th chamber of shaolin", the disciple from the "masters of shaolin").

A generous dose of kung fu action and cross-generational comedy

"The Lady Is The Boss" is kind of a transitional film between the old-school and the contemporary kung fu flicks. The basic theme is tradition, represented by the strict, discipline-demanding martial arts teacher Liu Chia Liang, versus change, represented by the American-raised, headstrong new boss of the school Kara Hui. To the film's credit, neither side is portrayed as entirely good or entirely bad; they both have their pluses and minuses. Like it often happens in this genre, the script is weak and can barely even fill the 90-minute running time. But the comedy is sometimes amusing and the action is often creative (disco dancing, bicycles, photo camera flashes, weights, etc. are used as fighting weapons; they may not all be so practical, but they've rarely - if ever - been used on the screen before). Kara Hui proves once again that she is one of the very best female action stars, and also looks pretty sexy. Everyone in the cast does his or her job well, but that guy who performs the "mad monkey" style at the end (Hsiao Hou, I think) is utterly spectacular! A mostly satisfying film. (**1/2)
