the problem with media is that there's always cool stuff where you end up just not knowing about it until you stumble across it years after it's been a thing

tonight, that thing for me is "yes, madam," a 1985 corey yuen-directed hong kong cop movie which featured the first starring roles for michelle yeoh and cynthia rothrock and fashionwise, may be the futchest single thing ever put to film

I'll try to get some corroborating screenshots later - I'd just link the trailer, but it's got a weird gross sexual assault comedy bit in the middle because the 80s, amirite

turns out the shot is framed like it's sexual assault, but the old guys in the nursing home are just attacking the nurse to get at the head matron's chicken lunch, since they're not allowed to have greasy food. comedy!

anyway, here's some 1985 style for your eyeholes
