東方三俠 (aka The Heroic Trio) (1993)

Hong Kong police are perplexed by a series of infant kidnappings. 18 babies have been kidnapped so far and they are clueless as to the perpetrator. Their only hope is a trio of women: the wife (Anita Mui) of a police inspector (Damian Lau), a bounty hunter (Maggie Cheung) and a woman (Michelle Yeoh), who knows why the babies are being kidnapped. Directed by Johnnie To (BREAKING NEWS). I'm not a big fan of Hong Kong martial arts movies and the fantastic plot of this martial arts mayhem is bonkers! And a bit distasteful what with kidnapping and killing babies, cannibal children, decapitations and mutilations etc. Fortunately, the three leading actresses are very appealing and Michelle Yeoh's storyline has the strongest emotional connection which resonates just enough to make you care. The film's setting has a noir-ish big city feel to it. Totally absurd but there's a certain appeal to its nonsensical nuttiness. With Yen Shi Kwan and Anthony Wong.
