SUNSET WARRIORS (1984) is John Woo's cut of HEROES SHED NO TEARS.
Just before the game-changing A BETTER TOMORROW, John Woo made SUNSET WARRIORS, a project that was hacked about by the studio and eventually released as HEROES SHED NO TEARS. For years, Woo's original cut has been a holy grail for action fans and director Woo talks openly in interviews and on social media that this work had been altered to his dismay.
Now - finally - you can see it for yourself. A print of this original cut was found in South Korea and has been restored.
An explosive story of mercenaries battling drug lords, SUNSET WARRIORS is a war movie such as only John Woo could make. Now restored to the director's original vision, it can stand alongside THE KILLER and BULLET IN THE HEAD as one of his essential films.
