In 1986, John Woo's A Better Tomorrow revitalized the careers of Chow Yun Fat and Shaw Brothers star Ti Lung and spearheaded a new action film aesthetic. The film cemented Chow Yun Fat's status as the top leading man and stamped his suave, blazing-guns image into Hong Kong cinema history. Chow Yun Fat and Ti Lung teamed up again in 1988 for Sun Chung's City War , another thrilling ode to ballistic gunplay, brotherly camaraderie and heroic bloodshed. Unlike A Better Tomorrow , Chow and Ti are on the right side of the law this time, as calm negotiator Dick Lee and temperamental veteran cop Ken Chow, respectively. Ten years ago Ken injured and arrested druglord Ted (Tsui Siu Keung). Upon release from prison, Ted will stop at nothing to exact revenge, including killing Ken's former partner, setting him up in a conspiracy, and brutally targeting Ken's family. The normally controlled Dick goes on a roaring path of bloodshed to protect his friend and right wrongs. Violent, gritty, and filled with high-octane action, City War is a classic Chow Yun Fat film that fans of heroic gunplay simply cannot miss.
