Watch The Killer (1989)

Chow Yun-fat in a hospital shootout of one continuous take; John Woo's Hong Kong farewell.

Chow Yun-fat lights a cigarette with a burning banknote; the heroic bloodshed genre begins.

An undercover cop in the Hong Kong triads; the open-world game with martial arts.

John Woo takes over: free climbing above Utah, a stolen virus and a motorbike duel outside Sydney.

An FBI agent and a terrorist swap faces, and both actors play both parts.

A hitman, his agent and a mute who breaks into shops at night; Chungking Express after dark.

A cop in the triads and a triad in the police; the film The Departed remade.

A triad and his reckless little brother; Wong's first film, and the most conventional.
