I didn't have high expectations about this movie but i was really surprised. This film impressed me with its fight scenes, some good jokes(most of them were lame)and with the cast involved: Cynthia Rothrock, Michiko Nishiwaki & Mark Houghton. The final fight between Cynthia and Michiko didn't disappoint but i wanted to be a lil' bit longer. Ms.Rothrock had the same role that she had in films like: Yes Madam&Righting Wrongs. She plays convincingly her role and not like she was playing in one of her US movies. I like a lot her Chinese movies, are so much better than her US movies. Even Prince of the Sun (the last movie she had done in China) was better than China O'Brien for example. All in all this movie remains until this day a classic, believe or not, and Cynthia Rothrock's fans should not miss this one.

I am a huge fan of late 80s/early 90s HK martial arts movies; some of the greatest fight flicks of all time came from this period. Unfortunately, City Cops is not one of them.With its overly simplistic plot (an FBI agent seeks a runaway informant, who is also being hunted by nasty gangsters) and some dreadful attempts at humour (check out the truly unfunny 'sex-pest' and 'AIDS' scenes), the movie drags terribly until the final fight scene, which is admittedly great, but a very long time in coming.Cynthia Rothrock (once again playing a character named Cindy) isn't given enough opportunity to show off her amazing martial arts skills, with too much of the film's running time spent on the lame comedy rather than delivering impressive fight scenes. Likewise, the physically impressive Michiko Nishiwaki is also underused, only getting to shine briefly towards the end, when she gets to go one-on-one with Ms. Rothrock.The finale also features some frenetic gun-play, during which many white-overall-ed henchmen get sprayed with bullets (blood squibs look so much more impressive against white, don't you think?).Still preferable to most of Cynthia Rothrock's US output, but nowhere near as good as the classic Police Assassins, City Cops is average at best.

Cynthia Rothrock is the American FBI agent who goes to Hong Kong to capture a man who has evidence against a bigger criminal. There she has to team up with two local cops and face an army of killers who are also after her target. I've seen about 10 Cynthia Rothrock films so far, and "City Cops" has perhaps some of her best fight scenes ever. She is in GREAT form here, intense and aggressive, and at the end she gets to face (for the only time in her career) the elastic Japanese goddess Michiko Nishiwaki. She also looks quite pretty in this one, and her target's sister is a real cutie as well. Of course the movie has its flaws (there is too much bantering between the two HK cops, and too much time is spent on their romantic complications), but I'm still giving it a high rating (*** out of 4) just for the fights. Any Cynthia fan should definitely see this.

This movie is not that bad,but it'd have been better,if the final fight between Cynthia Rothrock and Michiko Nishiwaki had lasted longer,since both these actresses are greatly skilled in martial arts and therefore they should have displayed their fighting abilities more than they did.Instead of wanting to be funny, ironic at any cost,something which happens in almost any Hong Kong movie,it would have been far more interesting to see the differences between the two styles of fighting(Rothrock and Nishiwaki 's ). The acting of the whole cast is however unluckily blameworthy,anyway,as I said at the beginning of my review,it's not such a bad movie and I even think,it needs even a sequel;after all,if you have seen this movie, you'll know that Cynthia's opponent hasn't taken her revenge yet.
