Mark Gor's (Yun-Fat Chow) previously unmentioned twin brother Ken (also Yun-Fat Chow) joins forces with idealistic cop Kit (Leslie Cheung) and his now-reformed gangster brother, Ho (Lung Ti), both of whom return from the first film. Eventually landing on the shores of America, they embark on a complex path of revenge. Marked by intense (and in some cases, nearly over-the-top) gun battles, bloody rampages, and surprising bits of slapstick comedy, the film is director Woo's ode to the great and violent works of Sam Peckinpah.

Less cohesive than the first, but also more charged.

Woo at his best; may be better than the original.

A showcase for John Woo’s tremendous skill both as a storyteller and as a composer of violent masterpieces.
