"Blood Two Heroes" is at the top of my list, and Fa Ge's performance has something to do with it, but as far as the whole movie is concerned, John Woo is the core of this movie. The whole film is not bad in terms of director, cinematography, script, art, editing, plus several leading actors (especially several supporting actors Zhu Jiang, Zeng Jiang, and even Cheng Kui'an's performance is rare), it is rare The more balanced and perfect production. To say that "The True Color of Heroes" has created an era of genre films, "Blood Two Heroes" is the pinnacle of John Woo's directorial level. As far as the influence of the film is concerned, these two films are the greater achievements of "The True Color of Heroes", but the production level of "Bloodblood" is indeed a little higher than that of "The True Color of Heroes".

With me, I say: never get old! In other words, no matter how many years, no matter how many times you watch it, there is no sense of staleness. There are many epoch-making works in Hong Kong movies, but epoch-making works are not necessarily classics. It's hard to be perfect for a mature and discerning audience. Therefore, "Blood Two Heroes" unofficially won the first praise.

The classic scene in the movie: The target on the shore has started to speak, and the small village on the yacht is also ready. Gray hair and a whisker on his lips, this is not his true face. The sound of the soaring drums sounded, and there was a kind of coldness that a hunter only had on his face. The process of hunting is undoubtedly a solemn ceremony...
