These are the legendary films that created the era of heroic bloodshed. Propelling the Hong Kong box office sales to a record high in 1986, John Woo’s A Better Tomorrow won Best Picture and Best Actor trophies at the 6th Hong Kong Film Awards. It was also selected by local critics and film makers as the best of the Best 100 Movies Ever in Hong Kong film history. The success of the blood and bullet movie ended the dominance of Sammo Hung and Jacky Chan’s action comedies in the 80s and played a significant role in shaping the development of Hong Kong films.

A Better Tomorrow (1986)
As essential a Hong Kong film as you could ever find, A Better Tomorrow, is a milestone of Hong Kong Cinema, and the first true John Woo film from legendary director John Woo. Ho (Ti Lung) and Mark (Chow Yun-Fat) are triad brothers at the top of their game, but each suffers a stunning fall from grace. Ho is betrayed and sent to prison, much to the shame of his brother, police cadet Kit (Leslie Cheung). Mark is crippled during a bloody hit on a rival gang leader, leaving him a shell of a man. Years later the two are reunited, but the world has changed around them. Now at the mercy of their former comrades in the triad, the two form an uneasy alliance with Kit to strike back…with a hailstorm of bullets.

A Better Tomorrow II (1987)
Director John Woo outdoes his hyperkinetic gunplay from the first film, as he reunites Ti Lung, Leslie Cheung, and even Chow Yun Fat for this entertaining and dramatic sequel to one of the most popular Hong Kong films ever. When we last left our heroes, Ho (Ti Lung) was thrown in jail for his triad activities, but the courts grant him lenience for his righteousness. He’s released to infiltrate the gang of suspected bad guy Lung (Dean Shek), who’s currently being investigated by Ho’s brother Kit (Leslie Cheung). But circumstances go sour, and Ho turns to an unlikely ally: former killer Ken, who’s the twin brother of Chow Yun Fat from the first Better Tomorrow!

A Better Tomorrow III (1989)
Producer Tsui Hark takes the directing reins from John Woo for the third and final film in the A Better Tomorrow trilogy. A Better Tomorrow III is a prequel to the earlier films, and features the return of Mark, the suave, righteous killer made popular by actor Chow Yun Fat in the original A Better Tomorrow. Still young and without the seasoning which would make him one of the triad underworld’s most fearsome killers, Mark journeys to 1974 Saigon, where he hooks up with tough-as-nails gangster Anita Mui. She teaches him the way of the gun, but her former flame doesn’t take kindly to Chow’s presence around his ex-girlfriend. Making matters worse is a love triangle involving Chow’s cousin Tony Leung Ka Fai, and the approaching fall of Saigon. Tsui Hark serves up slow-motion bullet ballet and wrenching melodrama in classic Better Tomorrow tradition, whi.
