Story Synopsis:
The bizarre disappearance of eighteen babies in three months leaves police clueless and seeking the help of The Heroic Trio. Three beautiful women—Invisible Girl (Yeoh), Thief Catcher (Cheung), and Wonder Woman (Mui)—reluctantly join forces to battle a steel-masked supernatural Lord of the Underground who is raising babies to be ultra-assassins for his emerging empire. Together the three heroines realize that they are an unbeatable force.
LaserDisc Picture:
The 1.75:1 matted picture exhibits exaggerated color fidelity and fleshtones, but is sharp and detailed with deep solid blacks. Slight noise is apparent with good shadow detail, but artifacts are distracting.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack is undistinguished monaural with distorted dialogue.
