The 1985 Hong Kong film Yes, Madam , directed by Corey Yuen and starring Michelle Yeoh and Cynthia Rothrock , was described by film and gender scholar Lisa Funnell as the first "girls with guns" film. [2] More films of the subgenre were produced until 1994, featuring the likes of Yukari Oshima , Moon Lee , Cynthia Khan and Sharon Yeung . In the early 2000s, films that were part of what has been called a "girls with guns revival" were produced. They included Martial Angels (2001), The Wesley's Mysterious File (2002) and So Close (2002). [3]
