In <em>A Better Tomorrow<\/em>, Ho and Kit (Ti Lung and Leslie Cheung) explore the clash between the Hong Kong triads and the police, becoming ensnared in the war between the opposite sides.

In Lee\u2019s final completed film before his untimely death, <em>Enter the Dragon<\/em> is the epitome of a top martial arts flick. Lee shines as a Shaolin martial artist, heading to a tournament on a suspected crime lord\u2019s private island in the quest of exposing criminal activities, as well as for his own mission of revenge. A notable early co-production between the US and Hong Kong, <em>Enter the Dragon<\/em> (and Lee\u2019s scratched-up torso) has since been referenced and parodied countless times, and continues to influence almost every aspect of pop culture.<\/p>\n<h3>6.

In the rip-roaring action thriller, <em>Hard Boiled<\/em>, Chow Yun-fat takes the lead as a police inspector, chasing down rival triads caught in a clash. With a young Tony Leung as a conflicted undercover cop and Anthony Wong in another menacing role as a triad boss, you can expect a dizzying array of bullets and babies (yes, you read that right) dominating the screen in classic Woo fashion.<\/p>\n<h3>7.
