APOLOGIZE TO THE RICE!!!

While the first entry in the "A Better Tomorrow" series played it straight, if a bit (okay, A LOT) melodramatic, the sequel goes straight into self-parody territory... and mostly succeeds. The action isn't as good as The Killer or Hard Boiled, and the characters aren't as nuanced as A Better Tomorrow 1, but the comic quirkiness of ABT2 is endearing. It's definitely worth a viewing or two for fans of John Woo and/or Chow Yun Fat.
