The world needs more superhero movies like this—cheery, goofy, casually feminist, and devoid of self-importance.

A deliriously entertaining Hong Kong superhero movie starring the unbeatable trio of Anita Mui, Michelle Yeoh, and Maggie Cheung. I went to see a battered but beautiful print at the Metrograph in NYC, and was whisked away by the elegant wirework fight scenes and breathless plot mechanics that mashes up kung fu/comic book/horror tropes.

A commercial hit in Hong Kong and a cult movie in the US, The Heroic Trio is a whacky pastiche of superheroes, comic book violence, and martial arts... It has more verve, invention, and fun than the dour, bloated, and straining seriousness of the Marvel Craptastic Universe.
