Johnnie To made a superhero film? Yes, albeit one that takes wuxia powers and legends and brings them into the superhero film aesthetic of the 1990s (for better or worse). What a weird and woolly beast The Heroic Trio is! Three superpowered women will go up against an evil eunuch who's been kidnapping babies, if they can learn to work together. Anita Mui is actually called Wonder Woman (no relation) and the pureheart of the bunch. Maggie Cheung is a vigilante-for-hire and a dynamite-wielding biker chick. And Michelle Yeoh is pulled from both sides, in a plot to steal an invisibility cloak for the master. Guys, the movie is IN.SANE. Babies live, babies die. Anthony Wong is an indestructible henchman, but also the object of violent slapstick. And it all seems to be happening a corner away from Darkman or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. And you've never seen a "possession" scene like the last scene's. Could this be Yeoh's weirdest movie until Everything Everywhere? 1 year 6 months ago
