She was great in 'Drunken Master 2' as Wong Fei Hung's impish stepmother. 'Rumble in the Bronx' was a flawed movie, but I cared about her character. Her role as Ah Tung/Wonder Woman/Neui Fei Hap/Shadow Fox in 'The Heroic Trio' was great, too.
The late Anita Mui had some nice lipskind of like the late Priscilla Lane's lips. -

While I haven't seen much else, I'd have to say she was amazing in Drunken Master 2 (or The Legend of Drunken Master.)
I loved it when she hid evidence of the mah-jongg game and pretended that she was treating the other women for "gynecological troubles", telling her husband she was pregnant to save Wong-Fei Hung from getting in trouble, the pretend crying and saying "he hit my belly!" after fighting the Fu Manchu officer, and just about every scene she was in during this film -

I've seen most of the films mentioned. This week, however, I just saw two that were new to me,which were equally good. English titles were "The Fortune Code" - a really silly Hong Kong comedy filled with all the most famous stars of 1990, set in WW2, but with 1990 haircuts and anachronisms all throughout. She was glamorous and funny. The other was "Kawashima Yoshiko" the true story of a Manchu princess who was sent to live in Japan and was later a spy that helped Japan invade Manchuria. In that film Anita played the character from age 17 until death at age 40. She was 27 when she made it. It was released the same year as the other film I mentioned and they both also starred Andy Lau. In the second film she really got to show her dramatic range and she sung the end theme song.
