Johnnie To Films on Blu-ray

Johnnie To is one of Hong Kong's most prolific and versatile directors, moving fluidly between tense crime thrillers, gangster action epics, and sharp romantic comedies over a career spanning four decades. As the co-founder of Milkyway Image, he built a distinctive house style, working repeatedly with the same cast of collaborators - Simon Yam, Lam Suet, Anthony Wong, Nick Cheung and Louis Koo appear across many of the titles below.

Milkyway Image also gave rise to director Soi Cheang, who came up through To's productions; if you enjoy the films here, our Chameleon Films collection pairs Johnnie To with Soi Cheang's own directorial work.
