FILM: A Better Tomorrow II (1987)
TIME CHECK: 25 min
Chow Yun-fat takes the lead in this scene from John Woo’s patchy but occasionally brilliant follow up to his own A Better Tomorrow. Playing the twin brother of the character of the role he played in the original, we first meet him as the owner of a restaurant on New York. When a guy from a protection racket tries to threaten him and his business, Chow Yun-fat flies into a full on Robert De Niro impression - in English - expounding how rice is like his mother and father! The scene even ends with the line “You talking to me?”
