The Hi-Pointe presents Hong Kong Cinema Classics—a collection of newly restored films from the golden age of Hong Kong cinema, all scanned in stunning 4K from the original camera negatives. Spanning the mid-1980s to the early 1990s, the series features genre-defining works by John Woo, Tsui Hark, Ringo Lam, and Ching Siu-tung. These groundbreaking crime thrillers, martial arts classics, and action films have left a lasting impact on Hollywood, influencing everything from Quentin Tarantino’s movies to The Matrix and John Wick franchises.

John Woo, 111m, 1989, Cantonese with English subtitles
A Hong Kong hitman accidentally blinds an innocent woman during a hit. He is determined to get her surgery to help her regain her sight but he needs to complete one more hit first. He completes the job but then is ambushed as he tries to escape: someone wants him dead. Meanwhile a resourceful, unorthodox police detective is hot on his trail.
