A Better Tomorrow
1986
Before John Woo achieved stardom stateside, he directed this defining Hong Kong classic that influenced countless action filmmakers. The story concerns two brothers (Lung Ti and Leslie Cheung) on opposite sides of the law, whose worlds collide when their father is murdered. Counterfeiter Tse-ho (Ti) ends up in prison, and when he gets out, teams with gangster Mark (Yun-Fat Chow) to save his cop brother, Tse-kit (Cheung).
