5.0 out of 5 starsA battling babes classic!
By Ti Lung 1974 on 19 Feb. 2016
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Baffled by a spate of baby kidnappings, the police turn to Super Heroine (Anita Mui) and Seventh Chan (Maggie Cheung) to crack the case. The pair must engage the services of their long lost friend Third Chan (Maggie Cheung) to defeat the evil leader who's responsible for taking the babies and in the process try and destroy her almost indestructible lackey Ninth Chan (Anthony Wong). This is a superbly shot action fantasy that features three female leads at the height of their powers. The action set pieces come thick and fast and are filmed with real flair, my favourite scene has to be the one where Maggie Cheung attacks Anthony Wong with a spinning motorcycle. Overall this is a standout classic that no fan of the battling babes genre should be without. Thanks for reading and I hope that you enjoy the film.

HASH(0x857818a0) out of 5 stars The Heroic Trio 17 Aug. 2003
By Stephen Horne - Published on Amazon.com
Format: DVD
Starring Anita Mui ('Rumble In The Bronx'), Michelle Yeoh ('Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon') and Maggie Cheung ('In The Mood For Love') as three crime-fighting superheroines in Hong Kong's answer to Gotham City, 'The Heroic Trio' is a high-kicking, crimson-soaked comic book action romp that could only come out of our favourite country for hi-octane beat-em-ups. As you might have guessed, it's hardly Oscar-winning stuff; the plot is at times incomprehensible, the sets cheap and the acting camp, but it all adds to the charm. This is, after all, not a film to be analysed, but enjoyed with popcorn on a Friday night. And, as that, it succeeds - the action sequences are very exciting, the wire work is well done, the original score is superb and, of course, our three leading ladies light up the screen at every turn. But those weak in the knee may wish to turn away at certain points as it does get a tad grisley at times, what with decapitations, exploding body parts, cannibalism and baby-murdering. Indeed, the violence is so over-the-top at times that it becomes not so much offensive as it does laughable. Which was probably the idea.
So while the movie itself is recommended, Buena Vista's DVD release definitely isn't. The Disney company has once again seen fit to edit yet another Asian movie for its Western market - this time by three minutes to remove the aforementioned gory moments. And, as expected, the original Cantonese soundtrack has been replaced with a dreadful English dub and generic score - denying us the pleasure of hearing Anita Mui's two excellent songs. Still, this is what we've come to expect from the distributor that seems to delight in infuriating hardcore Chinese film fans. Those wishing to own the uncut version of the film would be advised to seek out the 'Universe' DVD from Hong Kong or the now out-of-print 'Tai Seng' American release. Better still (if you have PAL/Region 2 capabilities), waiting for the forthcoming remastered Special Edition from British DVD label 'Hong Kong Legends' would be the ideal solution.

HASH(0x855c0bb8) out of 5 stars Disrespect of foreign films continues. 17 Nov. 2002
By FredOhh - Published on Amazon.com
Format: DVD
Disney continues to butcher the work of foreign directors. THey bought the rights to most of the famous Asian action films, prohibit the sale of the original version, and then release a version on dvd without the original soundtrack, scenes cut, titles changed, etc. For a company that attempts to market it's own movies worldwide, it shows a total disrespect for the art of other countries. This movies is entertaining, but I would seek out a copy of the Tai Seng company version. It includes english subtitles. Anyone realize how easy it is to add a second audio track,not to mention widescreen and fullscreen on the same disc. Disney continues to refuse this. Don't get me wrong, I buy all of there major animated release, and they can show great care and respect for their own work, I just wish they'd cater to the collector as well as the Kmart crowd.

HASH(0x85731f0c) out of 5 stars AVOID BUENA VISTA VERSION! 17 Feb. 2003
By walkgentlythroughthegatesofjoy@hotmail.com - Published on Amazon.com
Format: DVD
The Buena Vista version of this film has been cut by roughly 20 MINUTES (compare running time in the specs with the other version on DVD), rescored, and otherwise cheaply altered. Disney/Miramax do this with ALL of their DVD releases of Hong Kong classics, which they have more or less monopolized the rights to in terms of US distribution. I wouldn't mind so much if they would simply release the movies as they were intended to be seen -- but this is ridiculous. The changes are all completely unnecessary. Thanks for nothing, Miramax. Harvey Weinstein fails to realize that nobody -- NOBODY -- who truly likes and wishes to own a movie like The Heroic Trio is going to prefer a heavily cut down, edited, altered version, once they realize that is what they are getting. So pointless. Anybody who values asian cinema at all should avoid buying any foreign films from Disney/Miramax/Buena Vista. A lot of American distributors are guilty of these practices, but some are helping improvements along -- for instance, Columbia TriStar's domestic release of the "Once Upon a Time in China" trilogy is perfectly satisfactory. It is in its original widescreen ratio, uncut, with its original score and audio tracks; clear subtitles are offered, as well as an English dubbed version for those so inclined. Is such a basic package really asking so much?
When it comes to this particular movie, I recommend seeking out an import version if you are going to purchase it. The import versions have failings of their own, but at least you'll see the COMPLETE movie as it was intended to be seen.

HASH(0x854e91b0) out of 5 stars Please note! 14 July 2004
By Yi Chieh - Published on Amazon.com
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
For those of you thinking of purchasing this DVD, please note that the dialogue is dubbed in English completely. For those of you who prefer it in its original language (Cantonese), give this a miss.
Otherwise the movie is great and the acting superb, plus we get to see the late Anita Mui in action. What can you say... top notch performance from Michelle Yeoh, Maggie Cheung and Anita Mui.

HASH(0x858623e4) out of 5 stars What Every Superhero Movie Should Be Like! 29 Feb. 2000
By Steve Miller - Published on Amazon.com
'The Heroic Trio' pits three female superheroes (linked, unbeknownst to them, by their past) against an ancient wizard who is kidnapping babies in the hope of locating the future emperor of China and restoring him to the throne.
The film has furious fight scenes that are of the calibre that EVERY comic book movie should sport--Marvel Comics kept popping into my mind--interesting costumes (with the amusing fact that the 'Invisible Girl' is the only character in the film who isn't dressed in muted colours or black), nice character interplays (even though the characters are rather thin), and is just a fun ride overall. To make it even better, the lighting, camera work, and set design are all perfect... all serving to underscore the 'film noir cool' tone of the film.
On the purely technical front, I really appreciated the subtitling of this film. Not only did they not use the annoying white lettering that is the standard--they used yellow which never got lost against the images on the screen--but they let the subtitling run onto the black bar left by the wide-screen formatting. The translation job was also excellent, with none of the bizarre, unintentionally funny turns of phrase that one occassionally sees when the translations are a bit too literal.
This would be a Five Star movie if it didn't suffer from a common problem among 'B-movies' of this type. The pacing seems off in many places, as a little too much time is spent dwelling on cool camera effects and characters striking 'poster poses' than is healthy for the movie.
Still, I recommend it for anyone who likes superhero movies and/or the Hong Kong school of action flicks.
