5.0 out of 5 stars Action and melancholy create a great film., January 14, 2002

This review is from: Hero Never Dies (DVD)

From great Director Johnny To, 'A Hero Never Dies' is quiet simply a heart pounding battle of guts; heroism; friendship; love; and revenge. This is simply one of the best films made ever in the history of Hong Kong Cinema and is rivaled only by 'The Killer';'The Longest Nite';'Hard Boiled';and 'Full Contact', it is one of the best films of it's genre and is widely considered a fantastic film for it's performances by Lau Ching Wan and Leon Lai, as well as the superior direction of Johnny To.

'A Hero Never Dies' is a must for people that enjoyed any of the mentioned films and, like the Longest Nite, it is definetly not for people with out a mind. The film is involveing, emotional, and creative.

This review is from: Hero Never Dies (DVD)

Everybody is just sort of there. Lau Ching Wan's character I guess has the most explained abotu him btu I still didn't find him very interesting, I just felt sorry for him.

Now the way the movie starts off is freaking awesome. There are 2 guys named Jack and Martin who work for rival gangs. After they keep f***ing with eachother they finally decide to call a meeting. Then they play a little game of chicken. Don't expect anything really exciting just really cool. Same goes for the wine drinking(breaking) scene. There is some serious action going on at the end and at the midway point but certainly nothign groundbreaking. When I go into a Johhny To film I don't expect the greatest action, I expect the greatest movie.

Also Yen Shi-kwan(Once Upon a Time In China, the Master Strikes) stars in this and while I thought his character was OK, they REALLY should have had a fist fight with SOMEONE!!! Just my opinion.

This review is from: Hero Never Dies (DVD)

A Hero Never Dies is a hardcore, gritty, and just plain ass-kicking film. I was already a big Lau Ching Wan fan but after seeing this, Leon Lai is no punk either. Martin (Lau) and Jack (Lai) are top-notch killers who admire each other but work for opposing triads. After a bloody shoot-out, Martin is crippled and Jack is wounded. Jack's boss even sends assasins after him in the hospital. His girlfriend (Yoyo Mung) saves his life but is horribly burned as a result. The triad leaders join forces and forget about our heroes. Martin's girlfriend (Fiona Leung) is murdered by his former boss and revenge is the only option. Jack decides to team up with Martin and a new war begins. This is another great product from director Johnnie To and the Milky Way Image team. If you liked The Longest Nite and Expect The Unexpected, this is right up your alley.
