A HERO NEVER DIES (1998)

Spine - 008

A HERO NEVER DIES · 真心英雄

Johnnie To · 1998 · Hong Kong · 98 mins

The blood-splattered hero film ignited a golden age of Hong Kong cinema in the 1980s, full of outlandish action, mammoth body counts, and plots that might have been hewn out of granite. While Johnnie To came late to the genre, he gives us one of its most exuberant and unrestrained achievements. Jack (Leon Lai) and Chau (Lau Ching-wan) are rival bodyguards whose bosses are engaged in a bloody power struggle that has spilled out of Hong Kong and into Thailand. The two opposing gunmen butt heads, cars, and wine glasses, though they are mirror images, alike in the belief that their destiny stems not from the stars but from the barrel of a gun. Much blood and even more red wine will be spilled in extremes of violence and loyalty. You know the feeling. You have an automatic pistol in each hand, and you walk into a room full of people who need to be shot…
