Does anyone know the name of the film that Alabama is watching when Clarence goes off to kill Drexil in True Romance? It looks like some sort of martial arts/japanese ganster type of flick, with plenty of sword and gunplay. If someone knows then could they also post where I can get it from?
Thanks for any help!

Also if you could recommend any similar titles feel free to do so!

Note. If you go to True Romance on IMDB and click on `movie connections` you can see a list of films featured in `True Romance`.

the original A Better Tomorrow is the film that made John Woo`s career and possibly to a lesser extent Chow Yun Fats.
As to whether it is any good it all depends on whether you like Hong Kong Cinema? For me, this is one of the highlights of action films in general. Part 2 is a re-rum almost of the 1st part with a bit more comedy and humour. Part 3 is pants.
Watch parts 1 and 2 together with The Killer and Hard Boiled and discover why John Woo is so lauded. If you can, get hold of A Bullet in the Head, makes the Deer Hunter look tame
