Cynthia Rothrock Joins the Back to Pop Family
We’re excited to share that Cynthia Rothrock—one of the most influential figures in martial arts cinema—is joining the Back to Pop family.
From her trailblazing work in Yes, Madam! and Shanghai Express to fan-favorite classics like Lady Dragon, Rage and Honor, Tiger Claws, No Retreat, No Surrender 2, and Fight to Win, she’s shaped an entire era of action filmmaking and inspired generations of fans.
We’ll be sitting down with her on the 17th for a deep conversation about her career, the craft, the films that defined her legacy, and the stories behind the moments fans still talk about.
Back to Pop continues to honor the icons who built the pop culture we grew up on—and Cynthia fits right into that lineage.
Stay tuned for the episode release.
