In this video, I review A Better Tomorrow Trilogy on 4K from Imprint Films — a landmark release for fans of Hong Kong cinema and one of the most influential action trilogies ever made.
Directed by John Woo and starring Chow Yun-Fat, Leslie Cheung, and Ti Lung, this trilogy helped define the heroic bloodshed genre — but how does it hold up in 4K UHD?
Is this a must-own upgrade for collectors… or one to skip?

🎬 About the Film
Released in 1986, A Better Tomorrow redefined action cinema with its mix of stylised gunplay, emotional storytelling, and themes of loyalty, brotherhood, and redemption.
Following two brothers on opposite sides of the law, the trilogy delivers iconic moments, unforgettable characters, and career-defining performances — especially from Chow Yun-Fat.
Its influence can still be felt in modern action films today.
