Description:

In 1986, a Hong Kong film changed the history of action movies. The excitement and emotion of that film is now more vividly and passionately brought back to life in a 4K remastered version! In commemoration of the 35th anniversary of the film's release in Japan, a 4K ULTRA HD & Blu-ray release of the 4K remastered version is now available! An unparalleled milestone created at the pinnacle of the enormous Hong Kong New Wave current of the 1980s. John Woo, Tsui Hark, Chow Yun-fat, Leslie Cheung, Ti Lung... The dazzling spark between the best talents in Hong Kong cinema and their own realistic trust and friendship created a miraculous chemistry that gave birth to one of the most important Hong Kong films in history. It is no exaggeration to say that not only did this film shock the world with its dramatic improvement in the level of Hong Kong cinema, which until then had been thought to be all about kung fu, but also that its vertigo-inducing gun action was so intense that it decisively changed the gun battle in all later films. This is the pinnacle of Hong Kong noir, a legend of chivalry and bullets that will be passed down through the ages. A Legend of Chivalry and Bullets" is a must-see for all moviegoers. The supreme John Woo style that elevates hard and violent gun action to a ballet-like art form, Chow Yun-fat's two pistols with matchsticks in his mouth and a grin on his face, Ti Long's sweat and tears as his eyes run bloodshot and his directness penetrates men, and Leslie Cheung's shining passion and clear, melancholy singing voice. The emotional ride of love, friendship, betrayal, and revenge, interspersed throughout the film with sobbing points of rage, still shakes the viewer's emotions passionately and violently with powerful energy that has not faded at all.
