Yes, Madam

Why this pick

Michelle Yeoh’s breakthrough pairs her with Cynthia Rothrock for exceptionally physical, inventive fights and a brash buddy-action rhythm—the grounded martial-arts counterpart to The Heroic Trio’s superhero excess.

The Bride with White Hair

Why this pick

Its heightened 1990s Hong Kong visual style, tragic supernatural mythology, operatic emotion, and magnetic warrior woman offer a darker, more romantic extension of The Heroic Trio’s fantasy sensibility.

01 / THE STORY

A little about the film.

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...
