UW Cinematheque | Johnnie To’s “The Heroic Trio”

Hong Kong | 1993 | DCP | 83 min. | Cantonese with English subtitles
Director: Johnnie To
Cast: Maggie Cheung, Michelle Yeoh, Anita Mui

Initially on opposing sides, Wonder Woman (Mui), Thief Catcher (Cheung), and Invisible Girl (Yeoh) unite their ass-kicking special skills to defeat a creepy eunuch and his plan to bring back the Ming Dynasty. The dizzying action in this Hong Kong classic is the trademark of both director To and producer Tsui Hark. A newly restored 4K DCP will be screened.
