Best Chow Yun Fat movie
 
This is a really tough one for me, it's either better tomorrow or hard boiled.
Dunno how many CYF fans are out there

hard boiled. i don't think i've seen better tomorrow, is that the war movie?

ABT is a trilogy about 2 brothers one a cop one a villain, story is similar in that way to hard boiled. CYF plays the villain's best friend, Mark, another villain only he's the cool, sharp shooter. He dies in the first one and then plays Mark's brother in the second one.

The most famous scene from ABT2 can be seen in true romance when christian slater is watching tv

I love this bit in hard boiled

anyone seen god of gamblers? the music in that is so cheesy it's fantastic. It's basically raindrops keep fallin' on my head but tweaked just enough to avoid copyright problems.

God of Gamblers 2 is brilliant as well cus it's just so cheesy

Hard-Boiled is a ultra violence masterpiece amongst the hong kong action films.

johnnywinternoshow 05.29.2006 07:19 PM

surprised no-one mentioned the killer yet, though, I thought it was normally regarded as the benchmark for woo and CYF

Trick question!

There is no such thing as a good Chow Yun Fat movie

I don't really like Chow Yun Fat, but I voted for God of Gamblers because it beings about nostalgic memories for me.

Hip Priest 05.30.2006 06:19 AM

He's in something else I really like, but I can't remmber what it is. I'll have a look at home tonight - it's a film I've got, definitely.

Chow Yun Fat movies rule all!

My favorite is the Killer, because it was the first one that got to me, and it is juts so beautifully orchestrated violence.
Hard Boiled was magnificent in the killing department.
Crouching Tiger hidden Dragon was a fucking masterpiece. a fucking MASTERPIECE I TELLS YA!
a better tomorrow was great too!

atsonicpark 04.10.2010 06:33 PM

cagedbird 04.10.2010 07:55 PM

So, why is there no response?

A Better Tomorrow

OR

Hard-Boiled

OR

THe Killer

OR

His earlier movies

cagedbird 04.10.2010 07:59 PM

Oh, natch. I see the other titles now. God of Gamblers. A Better Tomorrow 2. Bullet Proof Monk. CrouchingTiger, Hidden Dragon Brain.

TheFoxBen 04.10.2010 08:01 PM

god of gamblers is genius cheese, it is up there with jackie chans armour of god or the drunken boxing one, cant remember what that is called...

any way i reckon the killer is up there as one of my fav cyf films and replacement killers just cos mira sorvino looks damn fine in it and there is a good remix of that tricky track
