Heroic Trio | comment |
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. | |

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. | |

A decoy of the president places himself in harm's way so that the real president could escape. Tak buys Chat and Wonder Woman's daughter some time in order to keep them from drowning and gets a broken leg. He ends up getting crushed by a sewer gate in the process | |

All Amazons Want Hercules - This time around, Chat gets a boyfriend. At first, he is a rival who goes after her targets. The guy can handle his own against her in a fist fight as well, leading to a romance. | |

Nice, Mean, and In-Between | |
Heroic Trio / int_c1cef253 | comment |
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. | |

Unlucky Childhood Friend: After Invisible Girl left Wonder Woman as a child, she found the Evil Master and was trained alongside Thief Catcher. This time, Thief Catcher was the one who eventually escaped. Invisible Girl wasn't as lucky. | |

Unexplained Recovery - Kau is back as an ally, is mute, and possibly deformed. There is little explanation why he has returned, although since he was so hard to kill in the last movie, it makes sense that he was Only Mostly Dead. | |

Enemy Civil War: A more personal example than most. While Invisible Girl was still employed by the Old Master, it seemed that she had a rivalry with Kau; to the point where when she enters the secret lair, he attacks her from behind. She ends up chopping off one of his fingers for it and continues on her way. | |
