A Better Tomorrow [DVD]

During the colonial era, the notorious triad-controlled Kowloon Walled City established since the Qing Dynasty was allowed to be an anarchic area of Hong Kong. Rampant triad-related gangster activities in part of the society became a popular theme for movies in the 80s and early 90s. A Better Tomorrow (1986) is a classic in this popular genre of movies in Hong Kong. Its popularity may have brought the attention of authorities of its lawless nature. The Kowloon Walled City was finally demolished in 1993, a few years before the handover (1997)

The Original Hong Kong Gangster Epic From John Wood, Director of Hard Boiled, Face-Off and Mission: Impossible 2 A Better tomorrow is the film that started it all, full of John Woo's now-classic trademarks of jaw-dropping style, heart-stopping action and gunfire mayhem that must be seen to be believed. Chow Yun Fat stars in this epic story of suave gangsters and renegade cops who discover that in a world bound by honor, revenge comes at the speed of a bullet. Written and directed by John Woo, this is the breakthrough film that made international superstars of both Woo and Chow Yun Fat, and single-handedly changed the look of action movies forever!
