A Better Tomorrow II

Newly Added • 1h 44m

Directed by John Woo • 1987 • Hong Kong
Starring Ti Lung, Leslie Cheung, Chow Yun-fat

The bullets fly even faster and more furiously in John Woo’s sequel to his smash hit A BETTER TOMORROW, which ups the insanely over-the-top action and jaw-dropping body count as two brothers on opposite sides of the law—Ho (Ti Lung), an ex gangster, and Kit (Leslie Cheung), a police officer—join forces to bring down a violent counterfeiting ring. Chow Yun-fat, the breakout star of the first film, returns to play his original character’s identical-twin brother.
