Surreal sci-fi fantasy starring three of Hong Kong’s finest female stars who play it straight despite the film’s more bizarre moments. Male babies are being kidnapped and the police aren’t up to scratch. Enter masked superhero, Wonder Woman (Mui) – a leather-clad avenger with special powers leading a double life as the doting housewife of the naïve chief of police (Damian Lau). The kidnapping culprit is the strange yet beautiful San (Yeoh) whose invisibility skills trouble not only the authorities but even the great Wonder Woman. In a paranoid attempt to safeguard China’s future, San’s powerful superhuman boss (a centuries-old underworld eunuch, played by Yen Shi-kwan) is attempting to find a suitable new emperor from his collection of stolen babies. Then there is Chat (Cheung), or the ‘Thief Catcher’, who acts as the link between the two: a loud-mouthed mercenary riding a motorcycle who once worked for the eunuch, only to now be fighting against him in a chain of events that will bring her closer to San and Wonder Woman. In one of the film’s typically crazy action sequences, a motorbike is spun through the air with its riders still on top. A martial arts showdown culminates in the heroic trio fighting the eunuch on the streets of Hong Kong, where he is reduced to mere flesh and bone while possessing Yeoh’s body and using it as a weapon. Insane excitement is guaranteed for open-minded individuals feeling disillusioned by the uninspiring superhero movies produced by mainstream America. The triumvirate return in the bleak sequel, Executioners, filmed back-to-back.
