The Movie
 

The blistering high-octane sequel to the hugely successful A Better Tomorrow, Chow Yun Fat is Ken Gor, a tough former gang boss returning to Hong Kong to avenge the brutal murder of an old friend's daughter.

Deploying an incredible arsenal of death-dealing fire arms, backed up by reformed mobster Ho (Ti Lung), police detective Kit (Leslie Cheung) and the grief-crazed Lung (Dean Shek), Ken Takes on an army of Triad gangsters in an orgy of retributive violence.

Shot with Woo' s usual flair for explosive mayhem, and climaxing in perhaps the bloodiest shoot-out ever committed to film, the movie features another star performance from the charismatic Chow, shades and toothpick firmly in place, guns blazing.

My Thoughts Movie Ratings

A semi-believable sequel to A Better Tomorrow.  With the three original stars coming back for a second go.  The only problem is, is that Chow Yun Fat now plays the twin brother of Mark, the character he played in the original.  The storyline is far fetched, and the movie is made watchable purely for the bloody gun fest finale!
