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.
