Released in 1986, John Woo’s A BETTER TOMORROW sent shockwaves through the Hong Kong film industry, launching a wave of so-called heroic bloodshed films that emulated its combination of balletic gunplay and emotionally charged storytelling. Tracing the relationship between two brothers on opposite sides of the law, A BETTER TOMORROW and its two sequels pushed action cinema to new heights of bullet-riddled excess, while establishing breakout star Chow Yun-fat as an international icon of cool.
