Mulan Film Festival presents: Cabinet Of Curiosities – Double Bill – The Heroic Trio & Executioners

June 7
 @ 12:30 pm
 - 5:00 pm

Michelle YEOH, Anita MUI and Maggie CHEUNG star as three heroines with starkly different personalities, singular strengths and divergent life goals. In modern-day Hong Kong, they join forces to battle a Qing Dynasty eunuch who masterminds a spree of baby kidnappings. Blazing gunfire meets flashing swords, stallions race alongside motorcycles, and the tales of loyalty, love and vengeance collide in a dazzling mix. Wildly imaginative and boldly stylized, The Heroic Trio is still ahead of its time.
