It is nice to see women in leading roles saving the day. This time, the men have to be saved. If you expect serious stuff, this film will not be for you! This film contains over the top action with the use of special effects only Hong Kong moviemakers can pull off. The story is ridiculous. The acting is average. But overall it is fun! Heroic Trio can be seen as a parody of other superheroes. The only difference is that the women do take their jobs seriously. I know that it is required of them, but it looks very silly. Still, everything is enjoyable and not frustrating as some of these type of movies can be. Maggie Cheung was offered a role in X2 but declined because she had pride and could not face the 1.6 billion Chinese people if she did. I don't know what she was talking about. X2 is a far superior to Heroic Trio. So how could it be shameful to be part of it!. My guess is she forgot that she ever made Heroic Trio and was referring to her serious work that she made after Heroic Trio. Also, if she had taken the role, she could have shown what Chinese people are capable of in the acting department worldwide. There is no shame in that. Heroic Trio is mindless fun and great action!
