FACTS |
|
"If the first Better Tomorrow made John Woo's presence known, then the second one blew his popularity wide open." -- Brian Matherly, Daily-Reviews |
|
DVD RELEASE DATE: January 16th, 2001 (USA)
- Director Trademark: freeze frame, slow motion, guns (Chow Yun Fat uses a gun in each hand) and weapons (in the final dual, an axe and a sword are used in hand-to-hand combat.
- There is a scene in the film where we see a group of kids wearing long coats. The previous film in this series was so popular that young people in Hong Kong dressed like the lead character and the scene comments on that trend. |
