Names The Same is no longer a trope


* NamesTheSame: Her name (Li Jing) is very similar to the stage name of Taiwanese television show hostess and model Regine Wu Ming-en; Wu is notable for being Taiwan's first mainstream transsexual entertainer.

Shes Got Legs is now a disambig.


* ShesGotLegs: Many of her fights have her in tight-fitting jeans or short skirts, revealing her legs. Being a KickChick that's expected.

Cynthia was cast in her first leading role at age 21, in ''In The Line Of Duty III: Force of the Dragon'' (after Creator/MichelleYeoh turned down the opportunity to star in the third film, causing the studios to create a whole new character, Rachel Yeung, played by Cynthia). The film, and its follow-up, ''Film/InTheLineOfDuty4Witness'' would kickstart Cynthia's status as a leading action star in B-grade cinema. More often than not, Cynthia would get to kick ass with fellow ActionGirl actresses like Creator/MoonLee, Creator/YukariOshima, Creator/MichikoNishiwaki (which Khan battled in ''In The Line Of Duty III: Force of the Dragon''), and fellow B-grade Taiwanese star Creator/SibelleHu.

Yang Li-tsing, better known as Cynthia Khan (杨丽菁, born 13 December 1968) is a Taiwanese actress, stuntwoman, action star and icon of 90s GirlsWithGuns cinema.

A trained dancer at age 17 and a black belt taekwondo expert, Cynthia was spotted by the Hong Kong production company, D & B Films Co. who's at its peak of producing films and is actively seeking young, talented stars with potential. Then a fresh face in the film industry, Yang Li-tsing earns her new celebrity name, Cynthia Khan, which is a {{Portmanteau}} of the studios' two other leading ladies, Creator/MichelleYeoh (then billed as Michelle ''Khan'') and Creator/CynthiaRothrock.

Cynthia was cast in her first leading role at age 21, in ''In The Line Of Duty III: Force of the Dragon'' (after Creator/MichelleYeoh turned down the opportunity to star in the third film, causing the studios to create a whole new character, Rachel Yeung, played by Cynthia). The film, and its follow-up, ''Film/InTheLineOfDuty4Witness'' would kickstart Cynthia's status as a leading action star in B-grade cinema. More often than not, Cynthia would get to kick ass with fellow ActionGirl actresses like Creator/MoonLee, Creator/YukariOshima, Michiko Nishiwaki (which Khan battled in ''In The Line Of Duty III: Force of the Dragon''), and fellow B-grade Taiwanese star Creator/SibelleHu.

Ever since her debut, Khan has starred in over 50 films, most of which are action movies from the 1990s.
