A Better Tomorrow (1986) (DVD) (Remastered Edition) (Hong Kong
Version)

Product Description

As essential a Hong Kong film as you could ever find, A Better Tomorrow, is a milestone of Hong Kong Cinema, & the first true John Woo film from legendary director John Woo. Ho (Ti Lung) & Mark (Chow Yun Fat) are triad brothers at the top of their game, but each suffers a stunning fall from grace. Ho is betrayed & sent to prison, much to the shame of his brother, police cadet Kit (Leslie Cheung). Mark is crippled during a bloody hit on a rival gang leader, leaving him a shell of a man. Years later the two are reunited, but the world has changed around them. Now at the mercy of their former comrades in the triad, the two form an uneasy alliance with Kit to strike back...with a hailstorm of bullets.

Balletic action & hard-nosed melodrama are staples of the triad genre, but its director John Woos celebrated themes that raise A Better Tomorrow to greater heights. Honor & brotherhood are given compelling reverence by Woo, & his iconic characters are embodied with grace & toughness by the extraordinary cast. Chow Yun-Fats characterization of Mark
- a suave killer who values honor above all
- would become the single greatest icon of the Heroic Bloodshed genre, & a widely-imitated image by filmmakers & fans alike. Winner of numerous film awards, including Best Picture, Director, & Actor (Chow Yun Fat) at the Hong Kong Film Awards, & Best Picture, Director, & Actor (Ti Lung) at the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards.

This edition comes with interviews, trailer & props introduction.
