The Stunt Woman
The Stunt Woman (Chinese: 阿金; Jyutping: Ah-kam) is a 1996 Hong Kong action film directed by Ann Hui, and produced by Raymond Chow, Catherine Hun and Ka-Foo Lau. It stars Michelle Yeoh and Sammo Hung as stunt workers toiling behind the scenes of the film industry with little recognition of the work they do or the danger it entails. The film's postscript details the serious injury which Yeoh suffered after misjudging a stunt leaping from an overpass onto a moving truck, leaving her seriously injured. The film is dedicated to her, and to the other stunt workers who inspired the film. The film was rated Cat II A. It opened in Hong Kong on 10 October, 1996 and grossed HK $1,163,320 at the box office. In 2023 Criterion Channel featured it as part of their Michelle Yeoh Kicks Ass collection.[2] Plot
