Last film that
Chow Yun Fat
did in
Hong Kong
before leaving for the glory of
Hollywood
. Released in 1995, directed by
Wai Ka-Fai
, produced by
John Woo
, and co-starring
Cecilia Yip
. The movie was done like a quasi-Western and had
Chow
playing a man known only as
The Killer
. After he massacres a whole bunch of nasty guys, he retires and opens up the Peace Hotel, a haven for people looking to get away from violence.
Cecilia Yip
shows up as a mysterious trickster who apparently brings with her some serious baggage in the form of a vengeful gang boss. Which, of course, leads to the usual
violence
that you would expect. It turned out to be a pretty good movie...given that
Hong Kong
action films have sort of revived the
Western
style
gunfight
, setting the movie in a lawless frontier environment seems like quite an
homage
.
