The Killer
(“Dip Huet Seung Hung”, John Woo, 1989)

Mein absoluter Liebling aus John Woos beeindruckender Filmographie. Blutige, spektakulär choreographierte Shootouts, unglaublicher Style in Kamera und Performance, ein in Coolness nicht zu überbietender Chow Yun Fat als titelgebender Killer und eine gehörige Portion Schwermut, die stark an Melvilles “Der eiskalte Engel” erinnert. Pflichtfilm für jeden Filmfan!

Celebrating Chinese New Year with some classic Hong Kong action films #hongkongactioncinema #chowyunfat #johnwoo #cny

A thing I made, yeah? #Hongkong #Ringolam #Chowyunfat #Simonyam #Heroicbloodshet #Johnwoo https://youtu.be/oUPjPno_-Wk

No spoilers, but I was left stunned & shattered by the dramatic & explosive ending of ALL ABOUT AH-LONG (1989), a heartfelt & heartbreaking drama about a father & son dir. by #JohnnieTo.

Struggling single dad Ah-Long (#ChowYunFat) must choose between his happiness & what's best for his son when the boy's well-off mum (#SylviaChang) unexpectedly shows up in Hong Kong after a 10-year absence & asks to take her son to live with her in the US.

Moving from start to finish.

A Better Tomorrow II (1987) - John Woo
#hongkongcinema #action #chowyunfat #lesliecheung #tilung #80sfilm

Not the cheeriest of movies to end the year on, but #AnnHui's THE STORY OF WOO VIET (1981) is a gripping & powerful film. Shattered hopes await #CherieChung & #ChowYunFat in this part political drama, part gangster film about Chinese-Vietnamese refugees trying to flee to the US but who get caught up in Manila's gritty underworld with tragic outcome. [3/3]
