[喋血街頭]
Three close friends (played by Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Jacky Cheung and Waise Lee) flee the police in Hong Kong and abscond to Vietnam with dreams of profiting off the war as drug smugglers. Amid the turmoil of the war, the three men find their brotherly bonds tested as they become mixed up with a box of gold while coming under fire from all angles in the conflict. Originally planning to create a prequel to A BETTER TOMORROW, director John Woo was inspired by the 1989 Tiananmen Square incident to rework the film into a production that drew comparisons to APOCALYPSE NOW and THE DEER HUNTER. (Note adapted from GKIDS.) DIR/SCR/PROD John Woo; SCR Patrick Leung, Janet Chun. Hong Kong, 1990, color, 131 min. In Cantonese, English, Vietnamese and French with English subtitles. NOT RATED
