A PUNCH TO REVENGE (1989)

"...This has a category listed as action, but I look at it more as a Crime Drama with some good action in it. They’re definitely trying to make a statement here while still delivering some HK-style action, and depth of these characters is more than you usually see in a small, low budget film. It’s a pretty entertaining all around..."

BURNING AMBITION (1989)

"...The fight scene that starts in the restaurant and finishes in the garage with Yukari and Kara Wai taking on a big gang is easily the best scene in the movie. Besides her usual fighting, Yukari makes great use of a baseball bat..."

BURNING AMBITION (1989)

"...What sets it apart is some really great fight/action sequences highlighted by the talent involved; Yukari Oshima and Kara Wai taking on a gang in a parking garage; Frankie Chan and his ‘Holland’ posse taking on a rival gang in the Ho Chuck Palace Restaurant; and everyone going at it in the 15 minute amusement park fight..."

CLOSE ESCAPE (1989)

"...The big fight at the end is especially brutal amongst all of the main characters and features Yukari squaring off with Dick Wei. She holds her own for a bit but takes quite a beating. Still, for a small, lesser-known movie, this is a pretty bad ass fight scene and worth looking for!..."

CLOSE ESCAPE (1989)

Yukari Oshima vs Dick Wei

Original Tai Seng VHS Box

"...Most of the movie moves at a quick pace, as the basic story unfolds, with just a slight lull in the middle. There’s plenty of bouts of action and violence throughout and this is a pretty entertaining little lesser-known movie of the era..."

FINAL RUN (1989)

Yukari Oshima

There are other decent small fights throughout, but it’s a full hour into the movie before we see Yukari kick some butt (along side Dick Wei).
