Did anyone ever see the 'original's original' from 1967 ?
I'd like to know what John Woo and Tsui Hark took from it.

shareI have that one on VCD, but it's been quite some time since I saw it. I vaguely remember it having a James Bond-like credits sequence and that the big baddie is played by Shih Kien (of "Enter the dragon"-fame). There's a handicapped character in the film, who apparently served as inspiration for the Chow Yun-Fat-character. As far as I can remember, the whole brothers trying to reconcile plot is absent from the 1967-version, it's all about that one guy (played by Patrick Tse trying to straighten out his life after being released from prison.
