Goofs:

Continuity: It appears that a couple of fight sequences were cut from the film, but parts of them seem to have been re-cut into existing fight sequences - as a result, Silver Hawk's outfit changes several times during the course of the fight which is supposed to take place at "the bank", from trousers to hot-pants with thigh-highs - and back again ... the ambient light in that sequence keeps changing too ...

Quotes:

Rich Man: [about Silver Hawk] It is my duty to bring her to justice.
Lulu Wong: [quite amused] You...are going to arrest her?
Rich Man: That's right.
Lulu Wong: You really think you can catch her?

Martial Arts Fightin' Super Chick Action... Woo Hoo!

SILVER HAWK (3 outta 5 stars)

Pretty decent action-hero yarn starring Michelle Yeoh as the title character... who dresses up in a silver coat and mask and goes around beating up bad guys and making the police look bad. She meets up with a childhood sweetheart who now happens to be in charge of a police task force devoted to putting a stop to her vigilante tactics. They are forced to team up to fight a madman with a plan to take over the world with some mind-altering telephone technology. The story is pretty standard... but the stunts and fights (which are very reminiscent of The Matrix and Tomb Raider movies) are fun. I was glad to see that, while the movie does have lots of humour, the movie is not too "camp". Fun for the whole family!
