A Better Tomorrow (http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/index.cgi?page=Review&id=161&story=1865)
A Better Tomorrow 2 (http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/index.cgi?page=Review&id=162&story=1866)

Cheers for that Kanedaa.

I was always under the impression Anchor Bay only deal in the Horror genre hence ive stayed well away from them (possibly the worst film genre imo)

I noticed that the "A Better Tommorrow 2" review mentions its due for a HKL release - why would they release the sequel before the original ?

Its all down to rights - ABT, The Killer, Hard Boiled etc are some of the hardest films to secure the rights to and I now believe (IIRC) that HKL don't even have ABT2, they only have ABT3....could be wrong though.
