In this sequel, Ho (Ti Lung) initially refuses to go undercover to bust the gang he used to work for in exchange for his release from prison. He only accepts after his little brother, the policeman Kit (Leslie Cheung) accepts the assignment. Meanwhile in New York Ken Gor (Chow Yun-Fat), the twin brother of Mark Gor from the 1st movie, shelters the boss of the gang, who has had to flee after it is taken over by a more aggressive leadership.
Some better action scenes but still not great (see THE KILLER or HARD BOILED). Although the end shoot out is probably my favorite John Woo action scene ever. I thought Chow Yun-Fat was a little wasted in this picture having to babysit the cataonic Uncle Lung for most of the film. Still some great stuff from the best action director ever, John Woo. I don't think I'll waste my time with A BETTER TOMORROW III. Has anyone seen it?
