In The Line of Duty Poster IV International Poster

‘Ip Man’ star Donnie Yen first made an impact on the action movie scene as the star of a string of contemporary cop actioners. ‘In The Line of Duty 4’ saw him pioneer a new brand of martial arts movie mayhem, including rapid fire high impact kicking, Sugar Ray sweet boxing moves and WWE wrestling slams. It was a mix he would later perfect with the MMA action of ‘SPL’ and ‘Flashpoint’.

‘In The Line of Duty 4’ was directed by Yen’s mentor, Yuen Woo-ping, for the D&B film company. It also stars Taiwanese action queen Cynthia Khan, the former ballerina the company had hired to replaced the departed Michelle Yeoh. Michelle had been given the surname ‘Khan’ by the D&B marketing department, so Cynthia inherited it. Some early marketing materials misidentified her as Michelle’s younger sister!

Also on hand were ubiquitous good-looking Chinese American actor Michael Wong, cast, as he often was, as a charming guy who turns out to be the villain. Wong played a similar role opposite Brandon Lee in D&B’s ‘Legacy of Rage’.

With Yuen Woo-ping at the wheel, the film delivers fast-paced stunt action from start to finish, with the stand out fistfight being Donnie’s rooftop duel with his former kung fu school classmate Michael Woods.

Reel East are excited to share the original memorabilia created by D&B Films to promote ‘In the Line of Duty IV’. These items are a must-have for fans of Donnie Yen and Hong Kong action cinema.
