Heroic Trio

Three incredibly sexy Chinese women, led by my favourite Michelle Yeoh, in cheesy movie sets (at times it looks like a Brno TV studios fairy-tale), with second-hand music, and perhaps only the notorious "Happy, Happy, Halloween" theme accompanying one of the superheroines. A bit of a bizarre Hong Kong answer to the comic book movies of the Hollywood dream factory, with the occasional flying duel a la Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, some severed fingers and heads, which you won't see in Marvel movies, as well as dying kids and a walking skeleton with leftover meat. The whole thing is kind of overblown and exaggerated, but in a nice, rather amusing way. (27/03/2016)
