The Heroic Trio is a 1993 Hong Kong action film directed by Johnnie To, featuring an All-Star Cast including Michelle Yeoh, Maggie Cheung and the late Anita Mui as the titular trio.This film is an example of Hong Kong Wuxia, Wire Fu, and Heroic Bloodshed. The three main characters form a team of Action Girls. The Rule of Cool helps to excuse some of the more over-the-top action sequences. The fight scenes are all highly choreographed whirling mayhem filmed with sweeping tracking shots and plenty of ringing and swishing sound effects.Characters: Wonder Woman (no, not THAT one) or Tung - played by Anita Mui, is a mild-mannered domestic housewife by day and a super ninja-skilled Action Girl with a Cool Mask by night. Her weapons of choice are a sword and absurdly sharp throwing shurikens that can deflect and destroy bullets in mid-flight. Thief Catcher or Mercy or Chat, depending on who did the subtitles - played by Maggie Cheung, is the Plucky Comic Relief, a spunky wise-cracking Badass Biker girl with a fondness for shotguns and dynamite. Delightful outfit includes goggles, leather Badass Longcoat, and kneepads. Her main superpower seems to be always being Crazy-Prepared, as she never seems to run out of ammo or explosives. Practices Gun Fu. Invisible Girl (not THAT one, either) or Ching or San - played by Michelle Yeoh, is a brooding assassin who steals an Invisibility Cloak from her mad scientist boyfriend. Slave to the Evil Master, she carries out the grim task of kidnapping male babies for her master. Her weapon of choice is a chain whip, constructed of bullet-proof Variable-Length Chain. Evil Master - In case you couldn't tell,this guy's the Big Bad. Commands Invisible Girl to kidnap babies for his evil plan to find a successor. Turns babies into demon cannibal evil babies, when he's not killing them. Throws poison darts. See Weaksauce Weakness below. Kau - This guy's The Dragon. Fully grown version of one of Evil Master's demon babies. This guy's tough and, it seems, Immune to Bullets. Eats songbirds. Decapitates victims with an Impossibly Cool Weapon. | |

Gratuitous English: Thief Catcher says "Good morning" to cops and later shouts "Happy New Year!" when attempting to blow up the Evil Master. Obviously, this is not in the dubbed versions. When Invisible Woman learns that her boyfriend is sick, he types "Don't cry" in English on his computer. | |

Paper-Thin Disguise: Wonder Woman's mask only covers her forehead, nose, and cheeks. Even then, it's perfectly sculpted to her face to the point where people should recognize her if they see her in her civilian identity and then see her as Wonder Woman. Granted, her husband eventually finds out... through completely different means. | |

Nice Mean And In Between: The most obvious time this trope is invoked is the brief fight between Thief Catcher and Invisible Girl right before Wonder Woman breaks it up and straightens them out. | |

Enemy Civil War: A more personal example than most.

She ends up chopping off one of his fingers for it and continues on her way. | |
