Movies that feel like Yes, Madam! (1985)

Two unlucky thieves break into a just murdered man's hotel room and steal his passport, with a hidden microfilm, wanted by a triad boss. Two ass-kicking women cops—one Chinese, one British—are on the case.

If you loved Yes, Madam!, the closest films we have are The Street Fighter (1974), Police Story 2 (1988) and I Went Down (1997). All three share Yes, Madam!'s kinetic and gritty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Man from Hong Kong (1975).
