The Heroic Trio

It's a movie....has anyone ever seen it? I just read a little bit about it on www.imdb.com and it looks interesting....

Chinese Charlies Angels!

Quote:
Five minutes into The Heroic Trio, you may feel as if you're watching an unusual soap opera on China Central Television. This is no standard kung fu experience -- director Johnny To and action director Siu-Tung Ching created a magical realist picture with three strong female characters, a ploy to revitalize the genre. The storyline is sentimental and yet gruffly political: An underworld demon in a mythical city starts kidnapping male babies in an attempt to control China. If he prevents the future Emperor from ascending to the throne, the country will be his. Three superheroes come to the police's aid, and soon the plot gives way to quick-cut fight scenes, high-wire stunt work and playful special effects, as Wonder Woman (Canto-pop superstar Anita Mui), Thief Catcher (beauty queen Maggie Cheung) and Invisible Woman (the legendary Michelle Yeoh) combine forces to defeat the menace lurking in the city's sewers. But since there's no way a genuine superhero, a conflicted disciple of the demon and a rebel would start off as a team, they have to fight one another before they decide to unite. It's a treat to watch the women do combat with one another (and provides insight as to how much better Charlie's Angels -- which certainly tips its hat to this picture -- would be if Barrymore, Diaz and Liu would catfight just once).

I don't think this'll stop anything though - the better you idiot-proof a system, the more impressive the idiot becomes.
