Overview

In Rothrock and Roll with the Punches: Surviving Hong Kong Action Cinema, martial arts legend Cynthia Rothrock delivers a gripping, behind-the-scenes look at her groundbreaking journey as one of the few Western women to break into the high-octane world of 1980s and '90s Hong Kong action cinema. With raw honesty and infectious energy, Rothrock shares the triumphs and bruises-both literal and figurative-of training with top stunt teams, navigating a male-dominated industry, and earning respect in a culture where she was often the outsider. Packed with untold stories, cultural clashes, and adrenaline-fueled set moments, this memoir is an inspiring testament to perseverance, passion, and the power of kicking down doors-on and off screen.
