An ambitious gangster war road movie?

Scarface's black boss Tony roared in the second roar: Kill me and send an army. .

Gangs? army? . . . Woo Yusen combined the two most straight-man elements of gangster streets and army war, and was destined to play a "extremely extreme" card.

Different choices of key scenarios and characterization are directly pushed to the extreme without any hesitation.

At first I thought it was a gangster movie, but it turned out that HIGH C went to the battlefield all the way. .. especially the war is so good. . Follow the action line to link the full frame of South Vietnam and North Vietnam, is it a gang war road movie? .. There is still a post-war description... from the street to the war to the street to the end! The breadth of vision and rich layers of the story is evident in its ambition.

Assemble and localize and update the movie elements and even plot shots of multiple gangster classics and Vietnam War classics, which is equivalent to watching many classic movies. . At least Apocalypse Now, The Deer Hunter, Scarface, Casablanca, The Godfather 2 may not get away either. . Arranging several different youths in a series of extreme plot points with different choices (even the final decision is still being made) reflects the so-called human nature arrangement and combination to give birth to their own character destiny. The difficulty lies in the orderly and directional organic combination.

The young John Woo has such a personality, emotion, and details and metaphors. . . These details are classical and romantic, making this film, which was supposed to be adrenaline-filled, more oriental and chivalrous.

Wasn't the last car showdown inspired by horse vs chop?

I heard that it would be difficult for many people to escape to Hong Kong

War is the worst demonstration of humanity

If you want to pick your bones, the characters only have chicken blood noodles, but what are you talking about.

It's a pity that such a good character Li Zixiong didn't go to the next level

Bullet in the Head quotes

  • Ben: Mr Leong. I think think you're mistaken. When we were in Hong Kong we admired Miss Yen. We like listening to her sing. We were all staring at her just now, as we were wondering... wondering why she had changed so much. She's not pretty any more.

    Paul: Ah Bee!

    Ben: She's lost her innocence. She's not happy any more. I wonder who was responsible for that?

    Y.S. Leong: You're criticizing me? Not many people would speak to me like that. Young man, you've got balls. Bring me wine!

  • Ben: You're pointing a gun on a good friend you've known for more than a decade!
