Editing A Better Tomorrow (section)

== Sequels and remakes ==
The success of ''A Better Tomorrow'' spawned two follow-ups. A direct sequel, ''[[A Better Tomorrow 2]]'', was released the following year. [[John Woo]] returned to direct, as did most of the main cast, with Chow Yun-fat playing Mark's hitherto-unmentioned twin brother Ken. A prequel, ''[[A Better Tomorrow III: Love & Death in Saigon]]'', was released in 1989, with Chow returning to play Mark. Woo was not involved in the prequel, due to a falling-out with [[Tsui Hark]], so Hark directed the film himself. Woo's unproduced screenplay draft was later made as ''[[Bullet in the Head]]'' (1990).

The film has two official remakes. ''[[A Better Tomorrow (2010 film)|A Better Tomorrow]]'' (2010) was produced in South Korea, directed by [[Song Hae-sung]], with John Woo serving as executive producer. ''[[A Better Tomorrow 2018]]'' (2018) was produced in Mainland China, directed by [[Ding Sheng (filmmaker)|Ding Sheng]].
