A Better Tomorrow II (Chinese: 英雄本色2; Jyutping: Jing1hung4 bun2sik1 ji6; lit. 'True Colours of a Hero 2') is a 1987 Hong Kong action film directed by John Woo, produced by Tsui Hark, and co-written by both. A sequel to A Better Tomorrow, the film stars returning cast members Chow Yun-fat, Ti Lung and Leslie Cheung alongside new cast member Dean Shek. The film was released in Hong Kong on 17 December 1987. Due to the popularity of Chow's break-out performance in the previous instalment, he was cast in a new role as the twin brother of "Mark", who was killed in the previous film. A Better Tomorrow 2 is known for its over the top violence, exaggerated blood and gore, and body counts nearing the hundreds. Film director John Woo and producer Tsui Hark had disagreements over
