Heroic Trio
Added 4/15/2009
I love to collect these type of movies and a big fan of Michelle Yeoh. I love the movie and had no complaints about the DVD. The DVD was in excellent shape. I receive the DVD as quickly as possible after I ordered it. Great customer service. I am willing to buy from this seller again. Thanks!

Love Sci-fi Kung Fu
Added 2/18/2009
I had seen this movie on HBO at 3AM when i was 13... I've been looking for it ever since!
now, 10yrs later, i finally find it and am able to get it!
One of my many fave Michelle Yeoh flicks!
Now, I just need to get the second one ... in english (can only find the original Chinese version)!
Good story! Love the action (considering when it was made), and i love the 3 actresses in this movie- they were in a lot of other action and action-comedy movies.
Actually, I think each actress has been in at least one movie with Jackie Chan!!
Classic! Great buy!

"Is My Face Still Looking Good?"
Added 10/22/2008
Note: Chinese with English subtitles.
Synopsis: Join Shadow Fox (Anita Mui), Invisible Woman (Michelle Yeoh) and Mercy the Thief Catcher (Maggie Cheung) as they unite forces to do battle with an emissary of evil with supernatural powers dwelling in a Hades-like world created beneath the city. Newborn male children are disappearing into the shadowy Underworld below, nineteen at last count and the heroic trio is the only force that may be able to bring an end to the abductions and destroy the supernatural wizard who intends pick a new king from amongst the children and use the rest as demonic killers to do his bidding. Can three femme fatales succeed in their almost impossible mission? What do you think?
Critique: The '92 Hong Kong release `The Heroic Trio' is a mixed bag containing a combination of occasional comedic elements, cheesy melodrama and adequate martial arts sequences all used to counterbalance some surprising and unexpectedly harsh, even grotesque scenes involving the deaths of some of the young ones that will more than likely disturb some in the viewing audience. Fortunately you have the choice of bypassing these darker portions of the film by viewing the American release which has cut them out. However if you're one of those viewer like myself who likes to watch a film in its original language without the additional editing get the -Region 0- import and enjoy!
One more thing before I close, I'd like to answer the question posited in my title for this review. Yes Maggie (Mercy) your face is most definitely still looking good!
My Rating: -3 1/2 Stars-.

Luscious Low-Brow Cheeziness and I loved every minute of it

what more can be said. Low-brow stuff...gotta love Maggie Cheung as the little pyro "Happy New Year Everybody!" as she blows up the sewers.

Horrible movie.
Added 8/30/2007
There was nothing of note about this movie. I honestly don't see how anyone could watch this and feel satisfied that they saw a worthwhile fim. Avoid at all cost. I like the actressess involved, but the film was bad. very bad.
