it's so underrated how it introduces all the main characters in less than 7 minutes and you can already see the quirks and personalities of them. unmatched opening
Every now and then, there's a pairing of director and actor that becomes cinematic magic. The pairing of John Woo and Chow Yuen Fat was such a pairing.
@@investinfastudios In interviews, John Woo has cited the films of Scorsese as an influence, but I also see the the influence of Sam Peckinpah on his work, specifically in the slo-mo action scenes.
The scene with "Mark" lighting a cig with a counterfeit bill is the shot of legends. But I'd argue the restaurant scene is what made people never forget the name John Woo and Chow Yun Fat
Hong Kong truly was a trail blazer for world cinema during this time. There will never be another Film like A better tomorrow in the current sphere of cinema today
this movie is so fucking cool, just the opening, some gangster waking up in cold sweet showing the ink on his back, I was like wow baby, I'm in for a ride
The very first shot is the Honk Kong Bank, built just before Better Tomorrow was filmed. It's a groundbreaking work of architecture by Norman Foster, the company where I worked in the UK. Every time I visited HK, I was even more excited to visit the film locales than I was to visit the bank. :) Major props to John Woo.
There used to be a good quality upload of the full movie. Sad it's been removed. I watched this as a kid and the music still sticks, really good score.
You mean STOLE the ideas from this movie, quentin tarratino was made famous for making gorey action movies, but where do you think they got the ideas from?? shaw brothers hk film studio made gorey kungfu movies, they were also famous for making "the 36 chamber of shaolin" that inspired the creation of the american hip hop group "the wutang clan" infact tarratino has no shame and HIRED gordon liu (an actor whos in ALOT of shaw bros films INCLUDING the 36th chamber of shaolin) and put him in "kill bill" even the marvel movie "shang chi" the so called bad guy was the protagonist in a shaw brother movie who did shaolin praying mantis

I love that he just woke up with cold sweat that shows the gangster ink on his back. That's old school story telling by the camera. Within the first minute, John Woo tell us that this guy is a bad guy who's worried about the safety of his loved ones. Doesn't get better than that!
When I have been in HongKong , citizens were celebrating the day to return to CHINA . As time has gone by , what are they thinking of nowadays . I miss you HONGKONG . I remember that A BEST YESTERDAY . See you next , Ms. Kitty . ☺☺☺
It will never be made movies like this again This is 👑👑👑 Iv must have seen it 5000 times Vhs. Dvds must have been used so many times .It's strange they still work haha
Anybody notice that huge no smoking sign in the parking garage? You can't miss it but it's so funny. I think because the credits come up but that's hilarious. 4:02
Hong Kong movies at that time were on a different level from Chinese movies today. The Hong Kong films of that time were a completely different realm from the Chinese films of today.
@@harukrentz435You must’ve been mistaken: this film you’re seeing here was released in 1986, the Bollywood version mentioned was released a mere eight years after ABT.
Masterpiece. Can you imagine this remade these days? They would have to state everything....Ti Lung would tell Chow about that nightmare and how much he cares about his brother. Modern writing is terrible and then there's the box ticking aspect which would destroy a film like this.

Agree! Top G level

The Scorsese and DeNiro of China. Though I have to say, I prefer Woo to Scorsese, only by a hair though.
@@investinfastudios In interviews, John Woo has cited the films of Scorsese as an influence, but I also see the the influence of Sam Peckinpah on his work, specifically in the slo-mo action scenes.
@@albertchin1050 The biggest influence is J.P. Melville. Melville had the same pairing with Alain Delon as Woo did with Chow Yuen Fat.
@@investinfastudios *HK* Let's not credit the mainland
Yun fat
Seeing Mark and Ho buddy buddy while still being badasses puts an instant smile on my face.
Absolutely glorious film - sensational pacing, masterful characterisation, top performances all round, soundtrack is amazing. Perfection.
Such an iconic beginning. These 7 minutes effectively kick started John Woo and Chow Yun Fats movie career
The scene with "Mark" lighting a cig with a counterfeit bill is the shot of legends. But I'd argue the restaurant scene is what made people never forget the name John Woo and Chow Yun Fat
Kick start but chow and John woo has been around since the early 70s making film
There are so many iconic scenes in this movie. That's why this film is a classic.

RIP Kenneth Tsang (1934-2022)
Leslie cheung rip ❤
Pure acting, no CGI
Ti Lung does shine with that long coat, or rolls-royce, he's the best his eyes look adorable love you so much❤
I wish I could be half as cool as Chow Yun-fat lighting his cigarette with a hundred dollar bill
you can. just burn 50 dollar bill while lighting cigarette and you'll be half cool
😅😅
When Hong Kong was one of the best cities in the world.
Still is considered one of the best cities in the world, just has more problems today.
@@razatiger22 Yeah because of the stupid CCP tyrants ruining China and preventing Hong Kong from having independence and democracy

Still my fav movie opening
I have watched it for many times, so i can watch it without subtitles

Watched this movie several times and still loving it!! ❤😊
3:25 Best scene ever...
Here's something crazy - I LIVED in Hong Kong for 3 years and knew Nothing about HK cinema and never saw a John Woo flick!
Too busy with underage girls, I bet.
back then it was a british colony and the whites wouldn't fk off, watch any hk movie, there are white people everywhere
Bruh do it
When there was romance in Korea , Hong Kong, japan and also all of asia, it was a bubble age. i miss that times
The good old days....

THE LEGEND ITSELF.
A film shot in 1986 but feels like it could have been made yesterday.
frame, angle of framing, mise-en-scene
shot types: close-up, medieum close-up, medium shot, medium long shot, full shot
John woo classic, it is good to see my hero Ti lung after along time with Shaw brother's studios.
This film restarted his career. He is a good actor and was often overlooked after Shaw studios practically abandoned their martial arts genre.
I knew it was him.I keep saying he looks like the guy that's always in those 70s wuxia films
@@generatorxI think everyone in the main cast kick off their career wonderfully after this film not just restart ti lung career
When I have been in HongKong , citizens were celebrating the day to return to CHINA .
As time has gone by , what are they thinking of nowadays .
I miss you HONGKONG .
I remember that A BEST YESTERDAY .
See you next , Ms. Kitty . ☺☺☺

顧嘉輝乃神人也，顧嘉輝、黃霑、胡偉立、陳勳奇、鮑比達幾位大師，香港電影沒咗佢哋，分數減半！ 現在的電影不行，沒有好的配樂人是一個重要原因，就算近十幾年來能請到川井憲次這樣的日本商業配樂大師，始終不及原生港樂來得有味道！
唉，華語電影，自香港落寞之後，就已經沒得救了！ 大陸！？ 根本支撐不起華語電影的重擔。
