Absurd and lewd
This Yes Madam is not to be confused with Cynthia Khan's other movie Yes Madam 2 (1988) or Michelle Yeoh's Yes Madam (1985). While Cynthia Khan did play a cop, the movie veered into the fantasy realm with the most oddball villains and good guys. The story refused to be taken seriously resulting in a headache of a viewing experience trying to make sense of the haphazard script and even worse acting.This review will be short as the movie was not entertaining for me. Cynthia Khan played a cop for the A-Team and her boyfriend was a security guard who happened to break up a criminals' fight and ended up with a book filled with money. The bad guys wanted the book back. The boyfriend's family ended up being kidnapped by the bad guys in exchange for the book. Two gangs of bad guys double-crossed each other making an exchange for the merchandise resulting in the most ridiculous and poorly choreographed fight scenes I've ever seen.
The bad and the strange: Starting first with the boyfriend's family---The sister was over the top strange. She was shown making an elaborate meal for the cat but only ordered delivery pizza from a guy dressed as Superman for the family with a stack of boxes from previous meals sitting in the corner. One young boy dressed like Goku (Dragonball) and practiced kung fu in his room. The other lecherous child had the magical power to steal women's bras and panties off their bodies. And for some reason there was a pin-up poster of a half-naked woman hanging in the dining room behind the dining table. Khan's boss was also pervy. The bad guys looked like they were cos-playing anime baddies wearing strange costumes and hair pieces. Several of them had face paint or huge owl-like eyebrows.
The story made no sense, beginning with the first random fight right up until the final scene. The writers threw in the most arbitrary things which made scenes even more chaotic and incomprehensible. This is a movie only for those who love absurd Taiwanese films with lewd humor. For me, this movie was a beating and I am happy to have it in my rearview mirror.
