Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Return to a Better Tomorrow is a 1994 Hong Kong film directed by Wong Jing, starring Ekin Cheng, Lau Ching-wan and Michael Wong. True to its title, it's a rather blatant homage to the Heroic Bloodshed classic A Better Tomorrow, but while both movies shares similar themes of Blood Brothers, betrayal and drama among the triads, the movie is not a remake of the John Woo classic.Mobster and triad hitman Tong Chun (Ekin Cheng from The Storm Riders) is highly respected among the mob, and shares a close bond with his underling and friend "Lobster" Tsui (Lau Ching-wan). Tsui is a single parent to a little girl, and struggles for a promotion in the triads' ranks, but gets along well with his superior Tong Chun. But when Lui, another mobster, frames Tong Chun for drug smuggling and forces him to leave Hong Kong, Tsui eventually climbs his way up in the mob while Tong Chun comes back to settle a score with Lui.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })As a standalone movie Return to a Better Tomorrow is entertaining enough, as long as you try to overlook the parallels to the movie its attempting to cash-in upon, and don't try to compare it with the best. | |

Badass Longcoat: More than one character wears this, most notably Tong Chun. Considering the movie it’s based on and the genre it’s paying homage to, that’s expected. | |
