Yes, Madam (simplified Chinese: 皇家师姐; traditional Chinese: 皇家師姐; pinyin: Huángjiā Shījiě; Jyutping: Wong Gaa Si Ze) is a 1985 Hong Kong action film directed by Corey Yuen, and produced by Sammo Hung, who also appears in a cameo in the film. The film stars Michelle Yeoh as Senior Inspector Ng who teams up with Inspector Carrie Morris (Cynthia Rothrock) to get a hold of microfilm which has been taken unknowingly by low level thieves[2] Asprin (Mang Hoi) and Strepsil (John Shum).

The film was the 21st-highest-grossing film of the year in Hong Kong and gave Mang an award for Best Supporting Actor at the 5th Hong Kong Film Awards. It has been described as the first film of the "girls with guns" subgenre.[3] Yes, Madam received several sequels in the In the Line of Duty film series.
