Amazon.co.uk Review
A Hong Kong combination of Batman and The Three Musketeers, The Heroic Trio is a winning mix of action, sci-fi, fantasy and police caper starring three outstanding Hong Kong actresses. Former popular singer Anita Mui is Tung/Wonder Woman, a mysterious crime fighter who aids the police whenever needed. Michelle Yeoh is Ching/Invisible Woman, an unwilling disciple to an age-old Evil Master, and Maggie Cheung is Chat/Thief Catcher, a runaway enlisted by the Evil Master who is now a bounty hunter for hire. When baby boys are being stolen for a horrific plan, Tung assists in the investigation while Chat plans to make some bucks by catching the culprit. The baby-thief is none other than Ching, who is carrying out the kidnappings for the Evil Master with the aid of her lover's invention--an invisible robe. But the good in her wins out, and she joins forces with Tung and Chat. This is a superhero film, to be sure. Fantastic sets and impressive wire-strung fight choreography make The Heroic Trio extremely fun to watch. Wonder Woman enters the picture by running full-tilt atop power lines while Chat rides a motorcycle and wields a shotgun like the Terminator. The outlandish and complicated plot seems right at home here, heightened by the moody lighting and the combined screen presence of Mui, Yeoh and Cheung. All three give fierce and touching performances in a hyperbolic and enjoyable film. --Shannon Gee, Amazon.com

Fantastic trio. February 13, 2003

Having caught the end of this movie on TV, i was eager to see all of it, and the amazing fighting sequences on show from Michelle Yeoh, Maggie Cheung and Antia Mui. The plot centres around a plan by the Master to find a King for China, using 'Invisible Woman'(Yeoh) to aide his evil plan. So its then up to 'Wonder Woman'(Mui) and 'Thief Catcher'(Cheung) to help stop the Master whilst convincing 'Invisible Woman' that she can change her ways and aide them in the fight for justice. All in all this film is excellent and well worth watching again and again.
Great movie November 18, 2000

The story goes like this: someone is kidnapping infant and baby boys all over the town for god only knows what hidious purpose, and the kidnapper is invisible. Of course one of victims has to be the police comissioners son. Enters the "crime fighter" and the "bounty hunter". It is not so much story that makes this movie great to view. It is more the way the ladies handle their parts, and boy! do they handle them!! To those of you who are into martial arts, if you haven't got something to learn, you have at least some major inspiration to gather from this movie. And to those of you who enjoy fancyful gunhandling there are especially one part that is beyond description(by the way, Rambo is a pussycat!!!). Hope you will enjoy the movie.
