''[['''A Better Tomorrow]]''''' is a 1986 action film by [[John Woo]] and produced by Tsui Hark, featuring [[Chow Yun-fat]], [[Leslie Cheung]], Ti Lung and Waise Lee. The story follows two brothers on opposite sides of the law.
 
This film put John Woo on the map and kick-started the [[Heroic Bloodshed]] genre, along with [[Trope Codifier|codifying]] most of the tropes associated with it. It led to the [[wikipedia:Hong Kong motion picture rating system|establishment of Hong Kong's film rating system]] because of the film's violence. It led to a period where a lot of young people wore longcoats much like Mark (in fact, the [[Badass Longcoat]] is still known in Hong Kong as "Brother Mark's Coat"). And it would provide a springboard for Chow Yun-Fat's career as a badass action star.
