Good stuff!
Oh man… the hottest woman from my childhood… I loved China O’brien… ooh and Lady Dragon >_< !!!
There needs to be a word for fight choreography that looks dope as fuck but isn’t even remotely close to how a real right would look.
That was pretty epic. Points for using 70s era martial arts sound effects.
Righting Wrongs is such a great film. One of the best martial-arts action films of the 80s. Rothrock and Yuen Biao are at their most athletic and some of the stunts are mind-blowing. You only ever see stuff like that in Hong Kong films from the 80s!
Edit: Awesome synth soundtrack, as well
Are they breakdance fighting?
That was actually fucking sick. Love these old HK kung fu movies. Very rarely do you see fight scenes like this anymore (with Everything Everywhere All at Once as an exception, although its fight choreography was directly inspired by these films)
Underrated film, one of my top 5 martial arts movies of all time.
2 endings to the film btw >!best ending is where everyone dies, no one survives!<
That scene was freaking impressive. So much movement yet you never lose your orientation as a viewer. A great use of the Hong Kong style of fighting choreography.
you should check her episode in Scott Adkin’s Art of Action series, she’s amazing and I think she was the inspiration for Sonya Blade in Mortal Kombat [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsMFdrOQTsY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsMFdrOQTsY)
Cynthia Rothrock deserves some respect and appreciation
Death by 80’s belt. We lost a lot of good young women like that back in the day.
Dope fight!
Damn, that choreography was inspired!
Nimble little minx.
I never got into Cynthia Rothrock, but she did some good stuff in Hong Kong
That knee drop was pretty on point š
Cynthia is so awesome! She was huge Hong Kong but an agent convinced her that the real career sould be in the US. The movie that she made most money from was an Stallone picture that never got out of the paper… There’s an alternative universe were the stars aligned and Cynthia got a similar career that Stallone and Schwarzenegger
OP, why you no have it cued to start at the beginning of the video? There are some great stunts in the initial chase sequence, like this [sliding bannister flip](https://youtu.be/lXDIFXjDd8g?t=47) from Sheperd.
But thanks for bringing this clip to people’s attention! For my money, it’s one of the greatest woman-on-woman fight sequences of cinema.
I loved it!
If you donāt, check out Jason Brantās So Bad Itās Good series. Heās covered a few of hers.
And if you have Amazon Prime, some of hers are free. And you see her boobs in one.
I prefer this to any fight scene in “the grey man”
Fuck yes! I love Cynthia Rothrock. I kept hoping Sly would cast her in one of the Expendables movies.
Literally watching my copy of [Righting Wrongs](https://vinegarsyndrome.com/collections/frontpage/products/righting-wrongs) that came in from Vinegar Syndrome today. This release is ridiculous with three cuts of the movie, and a ton of bonus content. Cynthia Rothrock rules.
Oscar winner, Best Sound Design, 1984.
Is this the inspiration for the fight in kill Bill with the body guard in the school girl outfit.
This just gave me an idea for a movie: āUltimate Karen.ā She WILL be speaking to the managerā¦or else!
I get that MMA culture has created a more ‘authentic’ fight style for movies, but I’d love to see this sort of fighting become more common and less of a homage you see every now and again. Rothrock has at least a few movies where the fights and stunts are just unbelievably fun, even if they’re not ‘authentic.’
I prefer pro-wrestling and vocal, Kung-Fu fight scenes to anything MMA personally.. and for actual MMA, since I’m merely a spectator with little interest, I prefer when the match ends in like 30 seconds because someone stumbles, blocks awkwardly or takes one ill-timed step. Those are more fascinating to me… being ‘authentic’ and all. I just want my entertainment bombastic and Rothrock-tastic.
You can tell if someone has had serious martial arts training by the way they hold their elbows. These ladies weren’t too bad.
I have the Vinegar Syndrome standard edition coming in the mail tomorrow. As much as it pains me to say this, I can’t always get the Deluxe editions lol. Still, looking forward to adding this to my Hong Kong movie collection.
This will be the first movie in my collection with Cynthia Rothrock and probably my 12th with Yuen Biao.
Why is this better fight choreography than in DC movies.
She was in my fan cast for an Expendables film. Her and Michelle Yeoh, actually…
I just can’t relate to anyone who doesn’t automatically prefer HK-style choreography over the mushy, skill-less, unintelligible fight scenes coming from Hollywood. It’s not about it being martial arts either, you can certainly have “brawler” fights in this style. It’s just the poetry and musicality of the beat-beat-beat style and the fact that you can SEE what’s happening.
Anyway on topic Cynthia is a badass, love her movies.
I remember this scene from The Best of Martial Arts documentary
The Bachelor is really different than I remember.
wow
Fun fact: Sonya Blade in the original Mortal Kombat arcade game (1992) was heavily influenced by Cynthia Rothrock. When you look at that [character model](https://i.ibb.co/x2cH290/image.png), it totally looks like her.
