Titles
"Yes, Madam" or "Yes, Madam!" is also known by several alternative titles including:
* "Police Assassins" (UK title for DVD release)
* "Police Assassins 2" (former UK title for VHS release)
* "In the Line of Duty 2" or "Yes, Madam: In the Line of Duty 2" (some Asian releases)
* "Super Cops" (former US title for VHS release)The film is nominally part of the loosely connected "In the Line of Duty" / "Yes, Madam!" film series. The alternative titles of this and other films in the series can be cause for confusion. The first film in the series, "In the Line of Duty" (aka "Royal Warriors" in the US) also had a release under the title "Police Assassins" and it also starred Michelle Yeoh.
In 1987,
Cynthia Khan took on the lead role of female cop in the film "In the Line of Duty 3", which was also known by the title "Yes, Madam 2".Also in 1987, Yeoh appeared in the film "
Magnificent Warriors " which had the alternative title "Yes, Madam 3". This would be the end of Yeoh's involvement with the series.In 1989, "In the Line of Duty 4" was released, directed by
Yuen Woo-ping and starring Cynthia Khan alongsideDonnie Yen . UK and US distributors added further to the confusion by dropping the "4", releasing it as "In the Line of Duty". It was also known by the title "Yes, Madam 4".The one constant in all of the subsequent films was Khan, and further title cross-overs occurred in this vein. In 1995, Khan appeared in a completely new and un-related film with the title "Yes, Madam!".In 1996, she appeared in "In the Line of Fire III", which was also known as "Supercops", "Police Assassins 2" and 'Yes, Madam 5" amongst other titles.
Finally, Michelle Yeoh also appeared in the
Jackie Chan film "Police Story 3 " (aka "Super Cop"), and the semi-sequel / spinoff "Once a Cop ", which was also known as "Super Cop", "Super Cop 2" and various other abstruse titles.
