Film review:

Chow Yun-fat and Tony Leung in the opposite play. I saw a lot of shadows of "Dark War" in the film. "Dark War" is more systematic than this movie, with better logic and better details, so it is more famous than this.

The peak of Hong Kong films was in the 1990s, when Hong Kong films were all the rage. As people's viewing level became higher and higher, the decline of Hong Kong films was inevitable.

However, this film is a classic of Hong Kong films and is worthy of collection and preservation.

    Hong Kong version Blu-ray revisited. It is a textbook level of editing, scheduling, and photography within the scope of shootout films. And when Wu Yusen, only once, abandoned romance, swallowed everything with tons of artillery fire, and slaughtered lives with ten thousand bullets. Where did this violence come from? Perhaps there are two answers. First, the teahouses were merged at the beginning. Before that, there was a series of newspaper news captures, social unrest, and surging bandits. In HK before the 97th deadline, money, career, and fate were all unknown, and people were panicking. Woo Yusen was full of worries and made a "reckless" police and bandit gang to show the consequences, and warned Hong Kong people to think twice before acting. After that, he left Hollywood and never made a Hong Kong film again. Second, "Blood on the Street" was his dream, and it was finally realized, but it was a commercial waterloo. And then casually filmed "Across the Four Seas" was full of praise. He didn't understand, was angry, and wanted to vent. So more intense, more brutal, for the sake of snorting. The hospital battle in the next hour, the underground ammunition depot, the ground, and the upper floor, the three-story space cut out, the design of the shootout scene, and the clarification and ingenuity in scheduling are worth watching again and again. I only sigh about the old age of the master...

    Alan: You know, I've always hated making cranes. I make one each time I kill somebody. How about it, shall I make you one?

    Tequila: No thanks. And if you'll get killed, who'll make yours?
