Fortune Star
Directed by: John Woo
Featuring: Wai Pak, Damian Lau, Fung Hak-on, Ngai Chau-wah, Lau Kong, Lee Hoi-sang, Cheng Lei, Wong Kuang-yu, Yik Ga
Before he became known as the master of the bullet-riddled heroic tragedy, John Woo sharpened his trademark themes and kinetic action choreography with this whirlwind wuxia spectacle. Unaware they are caught in a deadly game of deception, a pair of rambunctious swordsmen (Wai Pak and Damian Lau) join forces to help a nobleman (Lau Kong) in his quest for vengeance. Paying thrilling homage to his mentor, martial-arts innovator Chang Cheh, Woo delivers both bravura swordplay set pieces and a bloodstained interrogation of the meaning of brotherhood and honor in a world in which loyalty is bought and sold.
