Cynthia started acting in Yes Madam (1985), alongside recent Academy Award winner, Michelle Yeoh.

    Hell yeah. Watched Yes, Madam a few months ago and was blown away with how bad ass she was/is.
  • @vanwangye
    Im a Singaporean. Seen Cynthia Rothrock's Hong Kong film back in the 80-early 90s. Even till today in entire Chinese cinema history in terms of female action star ranking based on with real skill. Cynthia is still ranked number one now among the female action star. As the rest are either dancers or from chinese opera trophe.

    Thanks Tony! I know Cynthia, always a go-getter, inspirational. You make a good point with age, as I'm born in the 60's and deal with many issues that make things like martial arts a challenge, but it's better to take on that challenge than not be able to simply walk when I'm in my 90's.
  • My favorite martial artist!🫵🏽😍I’ve watched all of her movies :)😍🫵🏽🤗❤️
  • @DimitriYar

  • @ehabehab6542
    I want to come. 🙋‍♀️ I'm Ready.🥰👍🤸‍♂️
  • Something Tony wasn't told by Cynthia was that her being born near or in the astrological sign of Aries, which like Jackie Chan, makes them very daring.
