- A tribute to one of my personal favourite films and John Woo's Masterpiece!
Sung Tse-Ho (Ti Lung) is a professional triad member who is about to leave the organisation for his unaware brother who is about to become a police officer. Unfortunately just before he does, everything goes bad and he ends up in prison. 3 years later everyone he loved and cared for has changed and the triads will do anything for him to join them again. His bother, Kit (Leslie Cheung) hates him and his best friend, Mark (Chow Yun-fat) has become a shadow of his former self. Full of beautiful music, memorable performances and amazing action scenes, this is a must see!
Oh and a little trivia. After the film's huge success, Chow Yun-fat was considered so cool that Hong Kong's youth dressed up like his character with long coats and alain delon sunglasses. In fact, trench coats in written Cantonese translates to "Mark Gor Lau" (Brother Mark's Coat).
I do not own A Better Tomorrow, everything in this video is made for entertainment, not profit.

The song is 'A Better Tomorrow' by Leslie Cheung. - Krátké a kreslené filmy

One of the finest gangster movies ever made. Why John Woo could never replicate his success in Hollywood was simple. His movies were based on drama more than gunplay and action. The script on this if you understand Cantonese is absolutely phenomenal and the cast all gave performances of their careers. There was no way he was going to replicate this with Hollywood actors in a language he barely understood.
He Made great movies in Hollywood too!
@@luismariagiles3915 I think "hard target" is extremely underrated
@@Bronsteinification
Absolutely agreed,, compare to Chow Yun Fat's movie.
John woo's command of the english language limited his ability to convey the same expressions in hollywood. He is an excellent director, but he would have difficulty conveying the same script with the emotional attachments.
I believe he did this best with face off, but it was really nicholas cage who was really able to pull it off
"and the cast all gave performances"
Take off your rose tinted glasses.
The movie is incredible but ruined by the actor that pays the younger brother/cop, who overplays everything, is ham beyond anything I've ever seen in a good movie, and thoroughly destroys pretty much any scene he's in that's supposed to have weight.
He got a lot better by the sequel, but the sequel had other problems.
Reincarnated as a beaver after 37 years
The role that made Chow a legend... a perfect slice of 80s HK action cinema.
Deathbrewer Yes, in movies. But Chow started off in TV dramas before movie. He was already famous before making movies.Check out ‘ Man in the Net’. The street was basically empty when the last episode was shown because everyone was rushing home to watch.
@@NangongReng1973 网中人
Chow Yun Fat did an outstanding job in this movie.
He was viewed as Box-office poison before this movie
He always does. Such a wide range for a guy who so often worked for a director known more for extended shotouts than emotional depth.
Huong Nguyen totally agree no doubt
This is ti lùng movie. not chow yun fat btw but he is great
The Best movie,Best actors...Best director,best music....
Best ages, Best times, Best city I missed
@@michaelng.1990 the golden era
1980's and 1990's never be forgotten. jaman2 ini para prianya keren2 dan maskulin banget. lol
That was Hong Kong Cinema's golden and greatest era
I am so proud that so many people in other countries love this “Made in Hong Kong” movie！🙏😎
Marlboro should pay Chow Yun Fat special gratitude. Nobody smokes it better than Chow.
My father and I have different tastes in films, but when it comes to this movie (1 and 2) we love rewatching it from beginning to end even tho the other family members grew tired of watching it lol.
The Golden Days of Hong Kong Gun-Fu movies, the real masterpiece which is now rare in current cinemas.
Esp. with China controlling Hong Kong now
It is realy a delight. John Woo was so burned out when he wrote the script. He put all his frustration and anger into this movie. The brotherly drama just works wonderfully.
What was he burnt out from?
@@JustChadC 10 years of failure films after films
This is the best Hong Kong movie in my life.I watched it over and over.But, I still love its ost and story and everything!I miss this time of Hong Kong movie.
so true.
Maryam Soraya it's a true classic and trajic story. we all love it here in my country Cuba :-) .
TAE SUNG IN seems ur Korean.

Actually, this IS a remake of a old-school HK movie with a same name(in Chinese Words).
the soundtrack the story the actors everything is perfection
Better tomorrow
Hard boiled
The killer
This 3 is the best John Woo action thriller.
Dont forget face off and broken arrow😎😎
And Bullet in the head

Великий боевик, сделанный со стилем, который остаётся в памяти. Все актеры выложились на 100 процентов
I love Ti Lung's every motions here he's truly a great actor and fighter, HE REALLY SHINES!❤
I cried when his younger brother beat him in pouring rain and ordered him to say 'sir', making his eyes filled with tears 😭
Just wanna give him a back hug when he feels cold at the dock love you so much❤
Nothing beats the original. May my favourite superstar, Leslie rests in peace!
아직도 이 노래를 들으면 슬퍼진다.........그때 그 시절 그리운 시간.......
この映画🎥を見て、すぐに好きに成った。日本人だけど❗️香港🇭🇰万歳🙌
Good to see old friends star like Ti lung in this magnificent movie
I remember watching the first and the second one when I was a kid, I was hype back then and when I recently watch it again I was even more hype than before, I love this movie to death not by the action but the conflict of the brothers in the movie and how it ends up at the end, I love this movie for the action as a kid but as an adult I love the dialog and the story. I just love this movie all together.
HernandoDoesStuff Me,too
Me too
same here bro
sorry, am kindna lost here. please if you can tell me the titles of what you're referring you watched "the first and second". sorry just late on reading about the movie
@@daisytan3752 i was talking about A Better Tomorrow 1 and 2 lol
This music is really magic and touching.💫 Movie... It's forever in my heart. Deep and soulful. Good shootout scenes.👍 I'm happy that I watched it and I would watch it again and again. Thank you, John Woo, for masterpiece. Chow Yun-fat, Ti Lung, Leslie Cheung❤❤❤😍
Приятно видеть такие комментарии, радуют что Ву помнят и любят в нашей стране, это замечательно)

In memory to one of hk's finest artist Leslie Chung.
Asia will never forget about you.
Rest in Peace.
Amen
Johnny Black 그시절을회 상하며
Johnny Black
He's not really Chinese. He's from Hong Kong.
W 212 你这么跟张国荣说，张国荣肯定会狠狠地打你一巴掌。
港独最惹人厌的就是非要绑架那些愿意做中国人的人。
Johnny Black oh my godddddddddddd!
Goood life!
I like how this guy wears a trench coat casually in humid and warm Hong Kong.
I think Chow Yun Fat is the best Gangster Actor in Asia... like Alpacino, etc
I have watched this movie and ashes of redux - over 50 times. All the actors are LEGENDS.
Ti Lung was incredibly fantastic in this movie. He was awarded as Best Leading Actor by Golden Horse Award 1986.
Yeah he's amazing I love him so much❤
Tear drops goosebumps every time I remember how much Chow yun fat greatness A legend 😩😩
Everyone focusses on Chow Yun Fat and he is a legend but as a long standing Kung Fu/Swordplay movie fan I was delighted to see Ti Lung in a modern setting. I knew the guy could act but his performance in A Better Tomorrow is nonetheless outstanding.
I Cried like a baby at the end..... to all young people out there.. being poor is ok, at least you could live in peace.. once you enter underground society, it is really really really hard to get out. They will hunt you for the rest of your life. What is the point having millions dollars if you can't sleep at night.
Being poor is a state of mind.
RIP Leslie Cheung. Great movie!
The golden era of hongkong movie ❤
At the time I was madly on love with this movie I was thinking the three actors are the most handsome (Hong Kong) Chinese men in the world. Mr. Chow Yun Fat, Mr. Ti Lung and Leslie Gor Gor, they are still my top handsomest men. 😍.
just saw this masterpiece... damn, I now know why Tarantino was such a big fan of this movie
Make sure the watch Part 2 as well. The ending shoot-out is insane and is another part that influenced Tarantino as well ;)
Muon X күшті кино
It has been 2 years. Have you seen part 2 yet?
@@kakashi101able of course :) sorry for the late reply
Lmao when watching this movie I kept thinking about how tarantino feels watching it lmao
A better tomorrow really symbolises the golden age of Hong Kong in the eighties. Not just entertainment, but in every aspect of the society. The economy flourished, politics was yet to be a problem, and everyone was hopeful of the future. Cultural icons like Leslie Cheung, Anita Mui or Chow Yun Fat here became super stars in Asia and influenced the whole Chinese entertainment community. Nobody foresaw a sharp decline within 20 years, when Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui passed away from suicide and cancer respectively, and Hong Kong was no more a flourishing city, but a mere pawn under Chinese rule. As a Hongkonger, I can only express my deepest gratitude for liking this film, as this remains as one of my personal favourites of Hong Kong cinema.
Watched this on VHS back in dad day.... fell in love with the whole style of it, why u think I chew on a toothpick now????
Many of us pray for a better tomorrow...
Wasn’t alive when these movies were made but they are still amazing watching them many years later!
they dont make movies like this no mo
I have watched both of these movies over one thousand times. 🙂
Same but haven't been able to watch the original mono tracks in years 😔
soundtrack of this movie is awesome
Jan2019 that i still listen this song, bring my great memories back to childhood. Ti Lung, Chow Yun Fat and Leslie Cheung
brother mark is literally me
one of the best movies
This movie and I born in the same year. John woo is one of my favourite director of all time. I have not understand lyrics in the song cuz I'm Indian but still love the song cuz I get the feeling from the song
Good to know some Indian watch such Classic original movies instead of shitty bollywood movies
@@vanshtanwar3465 classic original movies are there in every film industry. Only people with good taste watch good cinema irrespective of any language. Bollywood has several too if you watch the correct ones.
P.S. also when you realise A Better Tomorrow 1986 itself is inspired from 1975 bollywood movie Deewaar.
This is such a melancholic song.
friendship
@@glorych1168 It brings a lot of feelings in me. The plot, the singer who is not around anymore, and the future of the HK ppl, whether it is indeed going to be a better tomorrow
Thank you Hong Kong for great 80's movies!!
Ah lovely story, so emotional! A perfect mixture between drama and action
a masterpiece of all time
This is the only one action movie which can make men crying.
One of the greatest gangster movie of all time.
This is the best of the OST. No need anymore.
Best movie ever from John Woo
R.I.P. Leslie Cheung ...

TOP Class acting by CYF & Ti Lung
A superb movie! Everyone was so cool in it; the wardrobe was copied all over Asia! I remembered watching this in my college when I was in Form 2 (1987) (the College regularly screen movies like this, a cool college it was :) )
omy Leslie Leung,,,,

Forever incredible!
The ending always got me! Great movie!
masterpiece
Best movie
The greatest hk movie ever made
この男たちの挽歌はハリウッド映画をはるかに凌いでいる出演している面子挽歌2でも、天石など名優が主役の3人を完全に食っている、もう、このような傑作はたぶん出て来ないだろう。挽歌も1,2とも、レスリー・チェンが歌っている、何とも味のある名曲だその歌を手掛けたジョセフ・コーも素晴らしい、いいモノは何度見ても飽きる事はない。
Ray Choi ?
绝对的经典！
I live in Philippines,my mom always seems your movie before she sleep with a smile,
Nice cut. ..John Woo would approve
Beautiful music 🎵.. and melody song..
All are good
Chow youn Fat I love him....No one like him...he is not a actor..He is Natural
發哥always the best !
It made me love Hong Kong movies It was a movie.
Timeless classic
这世界上只有一部英雄本色，以后直到永远，都不会再有。

언제봐도 역사적인 동북아시아 고전명작이야!!
의리의사나이 삼총사 역쉬~!남배우들 멋있어!!
Masterpiece
Best Actor mr chow yun fat..fans from indonesia
이 주제가를 장국영 아닌 다른 목소리는 상상할 수 없군요 너무나 훌륭하게 잘불렀다는 생각이 드네요
그리운 장국영.... 꺼거
classic epic masterpiece ㅜㅜ
It is my childhood. Can not forget. Love hong kong
One of the best modern Hong Kong movies.
I saw this when it came out in a basement cinema in London Chinatown. Sitting next to me, was a small nondescript old Hong Kong man. However, he jumped up and shouted yes during Chow Yuen Fat's speech about loyalty and duty, saying that is how life should be. I always had a suspicion that he was either a Triad or ex-Triad member. They were quite prevalent then in Chinatown.
"A Better Tomorrow" enjoys iconic status in South Korea, and many Kdramas and films have some reference to it. In many ways, it spoke to them of duty, loyalty, sacrifice, which are present in their history and culture. They even had an official remade of it in Korean in 2010.
이게 슬픈영화는 아닌데 ...보고 있자니 눈물이 도네....
아 ~
my forever big brother...from south korea
just cool & wonderful : )
힘없는 사람에게 정신적인 가상에 힘을 주었던영화 지금 20대들 힘을 내세요 인 내와 용기 힘내세요 갈때까지 가보죠^^^^^^
