A Better Tomorrow III [Blu-ray]

Tsui Hark directs the second film to follow John Woo's A Better Tomorrow; this film, which takes place in 1974 is actually a prequel. Chow Yun-Fat stars as a younger Mark, on a mission to get a friend (Tony Leung) out of Vietnam, when he runs up against Ho (Tokito Saburo), a local crime lord. Along the way he meets Kit (Anita Mui), a female gangster who helps the na?ve young Mark become the highly capable gunman of the first film. This film emphasizes romance in a greater way than the previous two films, probably due in part to the change in directors.
