Storyline

The all-female Heroic Trio are Tung (Wonder Woman), Chat (Thief Catcher), a mercenary, and Ching (Invisible Woman). Initially, they're on opposing sides - the invisible Ching is kidnapping newborn male babies for her evil master, Tung is trying to solve the crime (rather more effectively than her policeman husband, who is unaware of her secret identity), and Chat, who was formerly employed by Ching's evil master, is trying to sell her services and inside knowledge to the police. But all three have something in common buried deep in their past... Written by Michael Brooke <michael@everyman.demon.co.uk>

Cheesy Fun!
20 November 1999 | by (Tupper Lake, NY) – See all my reviews

I can't help it but love this film; it's great cheesy fun!:) Forget Batman, this is the way a Superhero movie should be done. Incredible imagery (some shots will take your breath away) prevails in a film genre that traditionally should not look as good as this does. There is also a plot (underground demon lord stealing babies to find an heir) and Anita Mui sings, too...what more could you want? A warning though: the film is gritty and violent, and contains a scene with an infant that may be disturbing to sensitive viewers. It's not graphic, but extremely suggestive of graphic violence.
