“A fun-house reflection on the original that manages to be both a satire and an homage.”
—Ric Meyers, author of Films of Fury: The Kung Fu Movie Book
The main players are back in this sequel to John Woo’s breakthrough. What it may lack in plausibility, it makes up for in action, as John Woo piles on the bullet squibs and further refines his filmmaking technique with the additional budget and cred gained from A BETTER TOMORROW’s smash box office success. New 4K restoration.
