A Better Tomorrow Opening Scene

The Badass-ness of Ti Lung and Chow Yun Fat

[@picks_1993]

3:25 One of the coolest shots in all of cinema. 👌🏼🔥

[@albertchin1050]

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]

The Scorsese and DeNiro of China. Though I have to say, I prefer Woo to Scorsese, only by a hair though.

[@albertchin1050]

@@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.

[@squirtreynoldscinema]

@@albertchin1050 The biggest influence is J.P. Melville. Melville had the same pairing with Alain Delon as Woo did with Chow Yuen Fat.

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

Seeing Mark and Ho buddy buddy while still being badasses puts an instant smile on my face.

[@Blindswordsman1994]

Such an iconic beginning. These 7 minutes effectively kick started John Woo and Chow Yun Fats movie career

[@investinfastudios]

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

[@YorgosL1]

Kick start but chow and John woo has been around since the early 70s making film

[@grahamritchie6068]

Absolutely glorious film - sensational pacing, masterful characterisation, top performances all round, soundtrack is amazing. Perfection.

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.

[@charlesooko8842]

John woo classic, it is good to see my hero Ti lung after along time with Shaw brother's studios.

[@generatorx]

This film restarted his career. He is a good actor and was often overlooked after Shaw studios practically abandoned their martial arts genre.

[@Love-Sensibility]
