About the film: in this gloriously unrestrained action extravaganza from genre maestro Johnnie To, The Heroic Trio (Yeoh, Cheung, and Mui) are knife-throwing, shotgun-toting, kung-fu-fighting super-heroines who must overcome their dark pasts in order to defeat an evil, baby-snatching eunuch who is terrorizing Hong Kong. Eye-popping motorcycle stunts, brain-exploding skeletons, infant cannibals, and kinetically choreographed wire work are all part of the delirium in this unstoppably entertaining cult favorite (referenced in Cheung’s international breakthrough Irma Vep), a kick-butt showcase for three of the coolest women warriors to ever hit the screen.
This is an event produced by Pax Entertainment in co-partnership with The Frida Cinema. Non-VIP tickets are $25, with another select number of seats being priced at $30, which are in the middle back two rows of the theater. Frida Cinema member discounts and comp passes do not apply.
