K3 en het Magische Medaillon (English: K3 and the Magical Medallion) is a 2004 children's comedy film starring girl band K3 – Kathleen Aerts, Karen Damen and Kristel Verbeke – in their first full-length theater film.
Gazpacho, a high-ranking criminal, orders his henchmen, Red Tiger and Black Panther, to steal the medallion that can make wishes come true. It once belonged to the Egyptian Pharaoh Washabi after which it is named. An explorer found it before the goons could and hid it in his house. However, the house had just been sold to K3 and the girls knew nothing about the medallion or it's powers. When they do finally find it, they notice the strange powers. Meanwhile, Red Tiger and Black Panther are still trying to get the piece to make their own (bad) wishes come true.
The evil villains are blundering idiots and the three girls wishes are very simple and benign so the idiots are no match for the girls just like in any number of other childrens' movies and good of course triumphs over evil.
Numerous inside-joke references are present regarding their other work and works-in-progress up to that time, so that's a little amusing for the adult set.
