a better tomorrow II (1987)


AKA Ying hung boon sik II.
"What makes you think that the good guys always win?"
Restaurant owner Ken Gor (Chow Yun Fat), twin brother of Mark Gor, teams up with police detective Kit (Leslie Cheung) and his struggling ex-con brother Ho (Lung Ti) to avenge an innocent death by a Triad gang, and bring down the new head of the gang KO (Shan Kwan).
The drama is broadened out with Ken being based in New York, whilst the others remain in Hong Kong. Woo ups the action, which whilst not matching up the previous film, is still head and shoulders above most action flicks.
