The all-female Heroic Trio are Tung (Wonder Woman), Chat (Thief Catcher), a mercenary, and Ching (Invisible Woman). Initially, they're on opposing sides - the invisible Ching is kidnapping newborn mal...( read more  read more... )e babies for her evil master, Tung is trying to solve the crime (rather more effectively than her policeman husband, who is unaware of her secret identity), and Chat, who was formerly employed by Ching's evil master, is trying to sell her services and inside knowledge to the police. But all three have something in common buried deep in their past...

    Holy monkey jebus, where to start:

    -Ching Tun Sung (i'm spelling it bad for sure) is the action director here, so fast and wild fights are a safe bet
    -Anthony Wong plays the bad guy sidekick. He uses none other than a flying guillotine as main weapon, and his entire role cons...( read more)ists of him growling and doing crazy poses
    -Not since Hard Boiled so many babies were used as props for action sequences
    -There is a fight sequence involving the 3 main actresses and a skeleton doll. I shit you not.
    -Rad theme song
    -Jhonnie To was the director, way before he started to develope his now trademark style
    -Do i even need to mention that Yeoh, Mui and Cheung look boing-tastic trough tthe whole movie?
    -Did i mention that i'm still hard?

    In other words, this movie shouldn't even exist at all, probably ended up here from some strange bizarro dimension where kick-assness is part of everyone's daily meal. That this movie hasn't made our universe implode is a damn miracle.

    Damn, i miss the good ol days of the HK movie industry, where things like this were the bread and butter of every day. So, in other words, this movie is camp+cheese+radness+hot women+political criticism (women saving male babies in China!) all role into one brain-smasher cocktail. You either drink it or it drinks you.

    Awesomeness abounds in this amazing superhero film. Anthony Wong is great as Beast, a man raised to be a monster. The action is fantastic and there is enough baby killing to keep anyone happy. Great villains, great heroes, great movie.

    I was a little drunk when we went to see this in the small art house theater in Seattle; but when a Chinese Barbie Doll on a motorcycle (Cheung) appears, kicks over an oil barrel and tosses in a stick of dynamite, which then blasts her into the air like a missile, I immediately s...( read more)obered up. "Did they just call her Wonder Woman?" Yes. "Invisible Girl?!" Yes, shut up now. And then the movie just got CCCRRRAAAZZZYYY!!! The American version is really screwed up, though. The cannibalistic children in the original was the icing on the cake.

    No thankyou - Not interested.

    One of the better, more polished "superhero" movies to come out of HK in the early 90s. You have a triple threat of hotties: Michelle Yeoh, Anita Mui, and Maggie Cheung, with Cheung easily being the hottest here. Johnny To was also the director of Heroic Trio, making it a must se...( read more)e for any fans of his later works.

    Another Michelle Movie I caught on late nite tv
  • April 28, 2008
    Despite low-budget special effects, it is a fun, exciting superhero film with some darker elements to it that you wouldn't see out of Hollywood.
  • March 5, 2008
    A Chinese b movie. Unless you're a fan of the actresses involved this movie is not worth seeing.
  • September 12, 2007
    Fun action movie that pulls few punches. Anthony Wong has a fun part, too.
