A BETTER TOMORROW TRILOGY 4K UHD boxset, a 5-disc collection (4K UHD and one Blu-ray) with perfect bound booklet and poster and with A BETTER TOMORROW II Workprint Cut (Blu-ray only) and A BETTER TOMORROW III Extended Cut.
Few trilogies in world cinema hit as hard, or as beautifully, as the A BETTER TOMORROW TRILOGY: three films., three acts of brotherhood, betrayal, and ballistic poetry. One era-defining creative vision.
In 1986, a chance encounter between producer Tsui Hark and director John Woo led both men to collaborate on the revolutionary A Better Tomorrow, an unexpected smash hit that spawned sequels, remakes and legions of imitators, gave birth to a new genre – the “heroic bloodshed” film – and firmly established Woo as a master of action cinema.
A BETTER TOMORROW (1986) didn't just launch John Woo and Chow Yun-fat into the stratosphere — it rewrote the rulebook of action cinema. Woo's tale of Ho (Ti Lung), a counterfeiter trying to go straight while his police officer brother Kit (Leslie Cheung) burns with resentment, crackles with operatic emotion. Chow Yun-fat's indelible turn as the trench-coated, toothpick-chewing Mark Lee invented a new archetype of cool, and the film's gun-blazing climax created an entire genre: heroic bloodshed.
A BETTER TOMORROW II (1987) raises the stakes impossibly higher. Woo returns with Chow playing Mark's twin brother Ken, drawn into a world of vengeance that builds to one of Hong Kong cinema's most breathlessly excessive finales — a mansion siege so committed to destruction it has to be seen to be believed.
A BETTER TOMORROW II workprint cut also included as a Blu-ray disc (Region B)
A BETTER TOMORROW III: Love and Death in Saigon (1989) takes the saga to an entirely different register. Tsui Hark steps into the director's chair for this Vietnam War-era prequel, with Chow and Anita Mui burning up the screen against a backdrop of geopolitical chaos and doomed romance, a great backstory for the character of Mark.
A BETTER TOMORROW III Extended Cut also included (4K UHD disc).
This A BETTER TOMORROW TRILOGY 4K UHD is the definitive way to experience one of Hong Kong cinema's crowning achievements — a trilogy that transformed action filmmaking forever.
