About This DVD
A Better Tomorrow 1
This John Woo film tells the tale of Mark and Ho, friends and couriers for a
Hong Kong crime syndicate with a large counterfeiting operation. Ho is
double-crossed during a set-up and turns himself in to the police and Mark is
shot during the firefight of a retribution hit. The plot is complicated by the
fact that Ho's younger brother, Kit, is a rookie cop whose reputation is
tarnished by his gangster brother. When Ho gets out of prison, he wants to start
a new life, free of crime. Unfortunately, he is haunted by his past, with the
crime bosses leaning on him and Mark encouraging him to return to a life of
crime as his partner. In typical Woo fashion, the various factions clash and our
protagonists engage both the police and the gangsters in a bloody bullet- fest.
A Better Tomorrow 2
Restaurant owner Ken Gor (Chow Yun-Fat), twin brother of Mark Gor, teams up
with police detective Kit (Leslie Cheung) and his struggling ex-con brother Ho
(Lung Ti) to avenge his old friend's (Dean Shek) daughter's death by a Triad
gang.
A Chinese Ghost Story 1, 2
Ning Tsai-Shen, a humble tax collector, arrives in a small town to carry out
his work. Unsurprisingly, no-one is willing to give him shelter for the night,
so he ends up spending the night in the haunted Lan Ro temple. There, he meets
Taoist Swordsman Yen Che-Hsia, who warns him to stay out of trouble, and the
beautiful Nieh Hsiao-Tsing, with whom he falls in love. Unfortunately, Hsiao-Tsing
is a ghost, bound for all eternity by a hideous tree spirit with an incredibly
long tongue that wraps itself round its victims and sucks out their life
essence..
Rouge
Fleur is the blue angel in one of Hong Kong's "flower houses" bordellos and
night clubs of the 1930's. A detached and beautiful performer, she falls in love
with Twelfth Master Chan, heir to a chain of pharmacies. They agree to a suicide
pact. Jump ahead 50 years to modern Hong Kong: Fleur's ghost appears in Yuen's
newspaper office, wanting to place an ad to find Chan, who never arrived in the
afterlife. Yuen, and his equally bewildered girl friend, An Chor, are captivated
by Fleur and her story.
Once a Thief
Once a Thief is an action/comedy/romance movie involving the plight of three
master thieves (in the mode of Pink Panther). All three were raised by the same
father and in fact were most certainly street orphans. The story begins with a
successful art heist followed by a pledge to make this the last crime ever for
the trio. The plot revolves around the theft of a mysterious "cursed" painting
and how its obsession affects the family.
