Police Woman (aka, Rumble in Hong Kong, Police Woman Against Jackie Chan, Young Tiger) is a 1974 Hong Kong detective film directed by Tsu Hdeng.

The film was released several times under different names, marketed as a Jackie Chan film, with his image on the cover of the videos and DVDs in an attempt to cash in on the rising star. However, his role can only be considered a cameo appearance. The most recent release was entitled Rumble in Hong Kong, in an attempt by the distributors to trade on the success of Chan's 1996 film Rumble in the Bronx.

The star of the film, the Police Woman of the (original) title, is Yuen Qiu (who later played the landlady in the Stephen Chow's film Kung Fu Hustle). Chan appears very briefly in the film, with a comedic fake mole on his face. His character is one of a group of bodyguards to a crime boss who has taken a woman hostage. Yuen's character fights and suppresses the gang (including Chan), allowing the hostage to escape.

Jackie Chan was the stunt co-odinator for this film as well as the fight director, it was his first job as fight coreographer and stunt co-ordinator.
