Together, the three try to stop the evil eunuch from launching his plan to bring about a new Imperial age. Co-starring Anthony Wong and Damian Lau, The Heroic Trio achieved international cult status thanks to its delirious action, comic book cinematography and art direction, and its trio of leading ladies, who bring terrific presence and believable emotion to their larger-than-life characters.

Meanwhile, Wonder Woman (Anita Mui) has gone missing! Will the Heroic Trio reunite in time to save the city from the forces of evil?
