Join us for an exclusive live recording of the popular Kung Fu Movie Guide Podcast, in which host Ben Johnson will be joined by Life of Action author Mike Fury to share the secrets behind the stunts.

A true cult classic, The Heroic Trio is a bonkers, female-led superhero caper which combines mind-bending action, kung fu fighting, motorcycle chases and crazy wire stunts. Maggie Cheung (In the Mood for Love), Oscar-winner Michelle Yeoh (Everything Everywhere All At Once) and singing sensation Anita Mui (Rumble in the Bronx) combine as Wonder Woman, Invisible Woman and Thief Catcher to take down the mysterious Evil Master who is kidnapping babies for his own nefarious plans. Directed by action legend Johnnie To (Drug War), who throws every genre imaginable into the pot, this is Hong Kong action cinema at its most delirious and entertaining, led by three of its biggest female stars.

The Kung Fu Movie Guide Podcast will break down the magic of ‘wire fu’ via the career of action director Tony Ching Siu Tung, whose work can be seen in Hong Kong classics including A Chinese Ghost Story and Zhang Yimou’s House of Flying Daggers. ‘Wire fu’ would also influence huge Hollywood action movies, from The Matrix to Charlie’s Angels to Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2. Ben and Mike will be joined by stunt coordinator and second unit director Jude Poyer. He started his career in Hong Kong, working with the likes of Jackie Chan, Jet Li and The Heroic Trio’s legendary filmmaker, Tony Ching Siu Tung.

Screening as part of Art of Action, a UK-wide film season supported by National Lottery and BFI Film Audience Network.
