THE HEROIC TRIO
Sunday, March 26th at 7:00 PM
Members $10 | Public $15
The supernova star power of Hong Kong cinema icons Maggie Cheung, Michelle Yeoh, and Anita Mui
propels this gloriously unrestrained action extravaganza from genre maestro Johnnie To, which injects its
martial-arts mayhem with a blast of comic-book lunacy. They are the
knife-throwing, shotgun-toting, kung-fu-fighting super-heroines who must
overcome their dark pasts in order to defeat an evil, baby-snatching eunuch who
is terrorizing Hong Kong. Eye-popping motorcycle stunts, brain-exploding
skeletons, infant cannibals, and kinetically choreographed wire work are all
part of the delirium in this unstoppably entertaining cult favorite (referenced
in Cheung’s international breakthrough Irma Vep), a kick-butt
showcase for three of the coolest women warriors to ever hit the screen. (Hong Kong, 1993, 83min., In Cantonese
& English, R | Dir. Johnnie To)
