Τρεις Ηρωίδες

Patrick Willems4.0

This movie understands that every scene is better with fog and wind machines, even if those scenes are set inside offices and hospitals

Johnnie To recruits three of the hottest Hong Kong actresses of all time and has them team up on a ridiculously melodramatic superhero origin story and some absurdly violent gun fights/Wuxia wire action to stop an evil, baby-kidnapping supernatural monk overlord that lives in the sewer. The action alone is so visually kinetic and maximalist that it's honestly dizzying. A nonstop barrage of borderline slapstick choreography, wide-angle lens movement, fog machines, squibs/gore gags, bizarre angles, and colors. Has some of the most flying knives, women, and cameras I've ever seen in a movie. There are fights involving invisible characters, many chopped-off fingers/decapitations, newborns hurled into nails, and Maggie Cheug firing shotguns in leather. At one point in the middle of a setpiece (with air-spinning motorcycles and sword-fighting) a train just bursts through a building wall out of nowhere. The climax is a wet neon street fight with dynamite and the head-butting of skeletons until their brains explode. What's not to like? Also funny to see Anthony Wong follow up Hard-Boiled with another insane action movie about babies in danger. Not only joins the fuck them kids canon (not sure I've seen the protagonist of a film heroically use TNT on cannibal children before) but also the Dolph Lundgren Punisher movie on my list of "if this is what all superhero movies were like the world would be a better place."

Pretty wild how many children died.
