Three super-heroines must settle their differences and defeat a terrifying warlock who is kidnapping babies in order to raise a king to rule over China. A tremendous film in the horror super-hero genre. Stunning fight scenes, surreal atmosphere and with the bonus of an enjoyable sound track. Excellent opportunity to catch my two other favourite Hong Kong actresses, Michelle Yeoh and Anita Mui, who are both wonderful. A must see, though perhaps not for the squeamish.
