The Heroic Trio
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Johnnie To
1993 / 88min / DCP
To’s girl power banger The Heroic Trio brings together wire-flying wuxia and John Woo-esque gun-fu into a heady cocktail of aerial acrobatics that comes close to a live-action cartoon. (It’s also the movie that Jean-Pierre Léaud waves around a LaserDisc of in Oliver Assayas’s 1996 Irma Vep.) Maggie Cheung’s bounty hunter Thief Catcher teams with Michelle Yeoh’s Invisible Girl and Anita Mui’s Wonder Woman to take on the Evil Master, a scheming eunuch plotting to revive the Ming Dynasty by kidnapping babies—as if he stands a chance against a crew this heavy.
