HARDEST BOILED
FOUR MOMENTS WHERE WOO PUSHED THE ENVELOPE, THEN BLEW THE ENVELOPE UP
THE MATCHSTICK
A BETTER TOMORROW II (1987)
This is a silly, fairly unmemorable sequel, which sees Chow Yun-fat playing his previous (now dead) character’s twin brother Ken. Until it gets to the climax. The three tooled-up heroes head to a gangster’s compound for a riotously flamboyant grenades-andshotguns showdown, during which Ken pauses mid-duel (despite being riddled with bullets) to chew on a matchstick.
