[edit] Plot
In this sequel to the 1986 hit original, John Woo and Tsui Hark continue their epic tale of brotherhood and bloodshed. Brother Ho has been released from jail and recruited by the police to do some undercover work involving his old boss, Lung. At first he refuses, but once he discovers that his little brother Kit has also been assigned this case, he agrees to the job so he can look after him. But after Lung is thought to have shot a man, he flees to New York and stays with his preacher friend and his daughter. Of course, bad goes to worse when they get caught in rival crossfire and they die before Lung’s very eyes. This makes him a completely insane vegetable, and he is taken under the care of Ken (Yun-Fat Chow) who is the twin brother of Mark (Yun-Fat Chow). It all boils down to an epic finale that reinforces the brotherly theme of the series. [-- KFC Cinema
