Executioners

NOTE: The May 11 screening will take place in the Bartos Screening Room.

Dir. Johnnie To and Ching Siu-tung. 1993, 93 mins. DCP. Hong Kong. With Maggie Cheung, Michelle Yeoh, Anita Mui.  Thief Catcher (Cheung), Invisible Woman (Yeoh), and Wonder Woman (Mui) return in this postapocalyptic, darker sequel to the blockbuster Hong Kong action hit The Heroic Trio. In this anti-authoritarian action saga, Hong Kong’s clean water supply has fallen into the hands of a masked maniac intent on seizing political power. This forces the three fearless fighters to settle their differences and unite to stop him. Director Johnnie To (Election, Exiled) escalates his wild, gravity-defying action set pieces to ever more impressive heights of cartoonish mayhem, while pumping up the decadently grungy atmosphere of dystopia.
