- Synopsis:
From John Woo, the director of Hong Kong movie classics including 'Bullet in the Head' and 'The Killer' comes this explosive sequel to his revered action thriller 'A Better Tomorrow'. Once again starring the legendary Chow Yan Fat, called back into action to help out Triad boss Dean Shek. Along for the bullet ballet is Ti Lung and Leslie Cheung to ensure maximum carnage in a film that easily challenges the body count orgy of any previous John Woo heroic bloodshed movies. This isn't the Hollywood-sanitized Woo you'll soon find out from a film that sears the brain with outrageously delivered shootouts. Outstanding amongst the glorious gunplay is Chow Yun Fat who is easily the coolest man with a grenade ever to grace the silver screen. Pull up your eyeballs to the screen and just try to keep up with the blood spray as you witness the true gangster classic that is 'A Better Tomorrow II'. - Actors:
