China O’Brien — 1990

Cynthia Rothrock was staple of many a kick ass flick, but this remains the one that has reaped cult status. The plot is that of China handing in her badge after she kills a kid by accident.  She travels back to her hometown Beaver Creek where she discovers that her home town is slowly being take over by local tit Edwin Sommers, who can be taken as serious as an issue of The Beano.  Her father gets killed via car bomb, planted by Sommers, so the town must elect a new sheriff.  China gets the job (despite quitting the police force before, go figure) and she enlists her childhood sweetheart, still keen to get his knob wet, Matt Conroy (Richard Nixon) and random biker Dakota (Keith Cooke).  The rest of the film basically has the three person police force showing off and kicking people up the arse. However the fight sequences are brilliant and theres a nostolgic charm to the film that depsite it being full of plot holes, will easily entertain you without frying your brain.  Fun movie fact, a then unknow Tori Amos appears on the film’s soundtrack credited as “Ellen” performing a song called “Distant Storm”
