Yes, Madam (Chinese: 皇家師姐, released in the United Kingdom as Police Assassins) is a 1985 Hong Kong action film directed by Corey Yuen, and produced by Sammo Hung, who also co-stars 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 (Hoi Mang) and Strepsil (John Shum).
The film was the 26th highest grossing film of the year in Hong Kong and gave Hoi Mang an award for Best Supporting actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards. It has been described as the first film of the "girls with guns" subgenre.Yes, Madam received several sequels in the In the Line of Duty film series.
In Hong Kong, Inspector Ng manages to stop the theft an armored car from a group of criminals. In another part of the city, a deal is being made between a Westerner and an assassin. After the deal goes sour, the assassin kills the Westerner while a duo of Asprin (Hoi Mang) and Strepsil enter to pickpocket the Westerner and steal his passport. Unknown to all of them is that the Westerner had secret microfilm that contained details of a group of criminals involved in illegal activities, most notably Mr. Tin. Inspector Ng arrives later and is heartbroken as the man who was killed was Richard Nornen, with whom she was romantically involved.
After authorities find out about Nornen was working undercover and the microfilm is missing, the Scottish investigator Carrie Morris (Cynthia Rothrock) is brought in to assist Ng in recovering it. The microfilm is in the possession of some petty thieves, whilst the police are looking for it to prove the guilt of the Mr. Tin and his accomplices, who naturally want it destroyed. Meanwhile, Asprin and Strepsil return the passport to Panadol. Panadol sells the passport to criminal who attempts to leave the country with it, but is thwarted by Morris who halts him at the airport. Ng allows the criminal to leave but not on the plane, allowing both Morris and Ng to track down the source of the phony passport to Panadol. With Panadol in custody, he inadvertently mentions Asprin and Strepsil as accomplices.
