    Executioners, AKA The Heroic Trio 2, was released the same year as the first part, so must have been made in a hurry. Does it show? I'd have to say yes. First of all, we're quickly told that there was a nuclear war and now clean water is extremely scarce and controlled by a villainous corporation, so I'm assuming they grabbed some kind of Mad Max rip-off script and inserted the three heroines in it. Further, it trades the super-powers for submachine gun fire until the third act, which again points to a square peg being fit in a round hole. As far as the disjointedness, the first film had that too, but in this case, villains come out of nowhere and there's scarcely any backstory for them. Are you actually telling me Anthony Wong has reprised his character and is hiding under a hood the whole time? It has its moments and we're happy to see the three heroines back together again (whether in a bath tub or superhero action), but they are too often separated for it to really deliver the sequel we wanted. 1 year 1 month ago
