Well, I admit not *all* Corey Yuen's movies are great, but a heckuva lot of them are! And She Shoots Straight is no exception, featuring plenty of Corey Yuen's beautiful trademark action. Joyce Godenzi is, as ever, an intense and ice cool actress, showing remarkable emotional range as well as fighting ability.
I don't have a lot to add to Brian Camp's insightful user comment, except to mention that I didn't find the finishing action sequences disappointing in the least; quite the contrary. There were two action sequences in the end, one aboard the boat and one in a gravel pit. While the last one "only" involved Joyce Godenzi and the amazing Agnes Aurelio, the first one involved just about everybody!
The movie as a whole was an intense police family drama with lots of crying going on, and it was done so you could relate. The final action scenes really clinched this movie as great entertainment, action-wise as well as drama-wise. So I give it high marks and a high recommendation.
8 out of 10.
