Executioners reunites the main characters of The Heroic Trio in a dark, post apocalyptic story set in a world ravaged by war, torn by social and political strife and deperately short of uncontaminated water. The Wonder Woman (Anita Mui) is now the mother of a young girl, named (in the English dubbed version) Charlie; she's at first abandoned her role as a crime fighter in order to become a better mother and wife, yet even while walking her daughter home from the grocery store she can not let a water theft happen without stopping the thief and returning the bagged water to the would be victim with a brief display of her true prowess, to the delight of her daughter. The Invisible Girl, (Michelle Yeoh), has finally accepted her true role as a hero and strives to atone for the evil deeds she did under the influence of her former Evil Master in The Heroic Trio, and has become an agent of change, striving to use her abilities to the good of society. She's gone so far as to become the tutor of the masked hunchback Kau, also the Evil Master's former servant, who had been lured into a blast furnace in Heroic Trio, horribly burned and disfigured, who yet retains his almost superhuman vitality and ability, yet no moral compass, other than his allegiance to her, in the hope of reforming him and showing him a better way, as she has herself through the help of the Wonder Woman and the Thief Catcher. The Thief Catcher (Maggie Cheung), is still up to her old ways, just trying to make a profit out of a bad situation, yet even she is starting to strive for a higher standard, and has come to realize that she is part of a team and has responsibilities to something greater than herself. The three heroes are forced to overcome devastating personal loss, conflicting loyalties and overwhelming odds to bring security and justice back to the people. |
