Summary: One of Cythina Rothrock's best
Yuen Biao stars as Hsia Ling Chang who by day works as a prosecuting Attorney in the supreme court. After hours however, he spends most of his time hunting down Hong Kong’s biggest and most notorious drug lords.

After some hit men working for the drug lords eliminate all the witnesses in his latest case, including the blowing up of their children and giving the court little choice but to let the criminals go free, Chang springs into action and takes the law into his own hands.

However, someone else is also out killing criminals and innocents alike, which draws the attention of local police woman Hsio Shi-Chi ( Cynthia Rothrock ). She has come to suspect Biao and is trying to bring him in for various things. That’s where it starts to get interesting.

Righting wrongs has many damn good fight scenes, some of which feature Rothrock, some of which feature Biao and a couple which feature both of them. One even pits the both of them against each other. A couple of slow motion shots of Biao’s kicks near the end are brilliant and work in great with the overall atmosphere of the scene. Top effort from both people in their prime! Rothrock has an interesting run in with a Women wielding a gold whip chain and displays immeasurable skill in the fight with her and the fight that follows.

The only qualms I have with Righting wrongs is that I didn’t like the ending very much. I felt a bit let down when the closing credits rolled up. All in all though, not a bad plot and great action. The final stunt from Biao will have you gasping in unbelief. Highly recommended viewing!

I give Righting Wrongs 8/10.
