“Required viewing for anyone remotely interested in Hong Kong cinema.”
—The Austin Chronicle
After kicking around the Hong Kong film industry for years without any copious success, John Woo hit the mainline with this story of brothers on opposite sides of the law, setting the tone for the next couple of decades of Hong Kong (and international) action cinema. It made Chow Yun-fat and teen idol Leslie Cheung major box office stars and positioned Woo as the director to emulate. New 4K restoration.
