Hong Kong Cinema Classics: A BETTER TOMORROW

Shout! Studios and GKIDS present HONG KONG CINEMA CLASSICS (HKCC), a retrospective of essential titles produced in the creative epicenter of Hong Kong, newly scanned in 4K and restored from original camera elements. Featuring works from directors John Woo, Tsui Hark, Ringo Lam, and Ching Siu-tung, these stories of cops and criminals, Chinese opera, and supernatural forces showcase one of the most explosively inventive eras in modern filmmaking.

This story is the tale of two brothers: one a successful counterfeiter and the younger a fledgling graduate of the HK police academy. The plot revolves around the split when the younger brother learns the other is a criminal and the efforts of the criminal brother to reform. Along the way are plenty of heists, double-crosses, and shoot outs.
