88 Films To Release The ‘In The Line Of Duty’ Collection With Michelle Yeoh & More On Blu-Ray This May

88 Films has announced that the expansive In The Line Of Duty I-IV Collection will be available on Blu-Ray on May 16, 2023. These four classic police stories from the Golden Age of Hong Kong action broke new ground showing women kicking butt as hard as any man! Michelle Yeoh, Cynthia Rothrock and Cynthia Kahn star as the toughest cops on the streets, using fists, feet and guns to take down triads, thieves and international criminals. Easily the equal of any American action movies from the same era, the In the Line of Duty series are enduring proof of the genius (and recklessness) of Hong Kong filmmakers. 88 Films are proud to do their bit for law and order, with beautiful new 2K restorations of all four films.
