About this product

Product Information

A bizarre, cartoonish actioner about a trio of beautiful, deadly woman warriors known as Wonderwoman, Thief Catcher, and Invisible Girl. These girls join forces against an ancient Ming Dynasty eunuch who is trying to resurrect China's imperialist past by collecting male babies and storing them up to form a new nation. An effervescent yet exhilarating slice of Hong Kong action, the film is sometimes interpreted as a parable about the potential invincibility of a united, democratic China, with the three fighters signifying Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the mainland. Sequel: EXECUTIONERS.

  • Classic golden era HK action

    The Heroic Trio, while pretty cheesy by western standards, is a classic actioner from the period where HK action cinema exploded into the west. Comparing it to Charlie's Angels is sort of unfair, as it's closer to the DC comic Birds of Prey, and features a team of three superheroes that start out at odds with each other, but eventually team up to fight an evil cult bent on conquering a city not unlike the retro-future Gotham of Tim Burton's Batman movies. It also bares a strong resemblance to John Carpenter's classic love letter to HK cinema, Big Trouble in Little China, and fans of that movie should check it out as well. It's somewhat hampered by a low budget, especially by Hollywood standards, but the energy and fight choreography more than make up for what they couldn't spend on it. The only issues with the version of the movie I'm writing about, at least for purists, is that it's very slightly trimmed from the HK running time of 84 minutes (not the 104 minutes, as claim by some sources) for a couple of bits that would have prevented it from getting even an R rating, and it's English dubbed. Otherwise, it's a fun, slightly tongue-in-cheek, action-packed superheroes meets wuxia romp featuring three kick-ass female heroes saving the day.
