The Heroic Trio/Executioners (4K UHD + Blu-ray, Criterion Collection) NEW

Description: Product DescriptionThe star power of cinema icons Maggie Cheung, Anita Mui, and Michelle Yeoh fuels these gloriously unrestrained action joyrides from auteur Johnnie To and action choreographer Ching Siu-tung. The Heroic Trio and its sequel, Executioners, follow a new kind of justice league: a team of blade-throwing, shotgun-toting, kung fu–fighting heroines who join forces to battle evildoers in a dystopian, noirish city. Blending dazzling martial-arts mayhem with exhilarating blasts of comic-book lunacy, these beloved superhero movies reimagine the genre through the giddy genius of the Hong Kong film industry at its height.4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES4K digital restorations of The Heroic Trio and Executioners, with uncompressed monaural soundtracksOne 4K UHD disc of the films and two Blu-rays with the films and special featuresAlternate English-dubbed and 5.1 surround Cantonese soundtracksNew interview with actor Anthony WongNew interview with film critic Samm Deighan (cohost of the podcast Twitch of the Death Nerve)TrailersNew English subtitle translationsPLUS: An essay by critic Beatrice LoayzaTHE HEROIC TRIOWith this outrageously entertaining cult favorite, director Johnnie To and his lineup of legendary stars gave Hong Kong cinema something new: its own homegrown superhero cinematic universe. Thief Catcher (Maggie Cheung), Wonder Woman (Anita Mui), and Invisible Girl (Michelle Yeoh) are kick-ass crusaders who must overcome their dark pasts in order to defeat an evil, baby-snatching eunuch terrorizing the city. Eye-popping motorcycle stunts, bloodthirsty undead, cannibal infants, and kinetically choreographed wirework are all part of the wall-to-wall delirium in this irresistible showcase for three of the coolest women warriors ever to hit the screen.EXECUTIONERSMaggie Cheung, Anita Mui, and Michelle Yeoh return in this gritty, postapocalyptic sequel to The Heroic Trio. Following a devastating nuclear attack, Hong Kong’s supply of clean water has fallen into the hands of a masked maniac (Anthony Wong) intent on seizing political power—forcing the three fearless fighters to settle their differences and unite to stop him. Darker in tone than the original, Executioners finds Johnnie To and codirector/martial-arts choreographer Ching Siu-tung continuing to push their whirlwind action set pieces to new levels of cartoon craziness, while adding an abundance of grungy, dystopian atmosphere and a fresh dose of antiauthoritarian attitude.Product detailsMPAA rating ‏ : ‎ R (Restricted)Product Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 0.67 x 6.86 x 5.49 inches; 4.64 ouncesMedia Format ‏ : ‎ 4K, SubtitledRelease date ‏ : ‎ February 20, 2024Subtitles: ‏ : ‎ EnglishStudio ‏ : ‎ The Criterion CollectionASIN ‏ : ‎ B0CNHFCM6ZNumber of discs ‏ : ‎ 3
