John Woo's A Better Tomorrow was a lightbulb moment for the filmmaker and a groundbreaking film whose influence runs strong today.
The movie is a foundational work in Hong Cinema that helped birth action gun-fu choreography, the heroic bloodshed genre, and the worldwide star Chow Yun-fat's career.

John Wick, The Matrix, Max Payne, Desperado, and the works of Quentin Tarantino -- the lasting echoes of this film have been heard since its release.
Join me for this episode as we revisit the melodrama and blazing gunfire of A Better Tomorrow.
