A Far From Perfect But Satisfying Conclusion To The Original
这是一个远非完美，但令人满意的结果

This is where the problem starts. The first film revolved around Ho and the people around him, but this film spends way too much time with Ken trying to get Lung back to normal. Ho and Kit's plot seems to delve deeper into the main story ark, yet they never seem to get enough scenes. Ken is pretty much similar to Mark although he may be a little darker and you can tell he's only in the film because of Chow Yun-Fat's character was so popular in the last film.
这就是问题的开始。第一部电影围绕着阿豪和他周围的人展开，但是这部电影花了太多的时间在阿坚试图让龙四恢复正常上。阿豪和阿杰之间的故事似乎才更能深入故事的主线，但他们的场景似乎并不是很充足。 阿坚和小马哥长得非常像，虽然他可能有点更加黑暗，并且你可以看出他出现在电影中，完全是因为周润发饰演的角色在上一部电影中非常受欢迎。

Plot: Restaurant owner Ken Gor, twin brother of Mark Gor, teams up with police detective Kit and his struggling ex-con brother Ho to avenge his old friend's daughter's death by a Triad gang.
剧情：餐馆老板阿坚——小马哥的孪生兄弟，与警探阿杰和他的前罪犯哥哥阿豪展开合作，为被黑社会杀死的他老朋友的女儿报仇。

This film is about a counterfeit dollars that are produced in the business and a new boss from Ho took over Lung Sei's business while framing Lung for a triad gang member's boss murder which he did not committed in which Lung had to flee to America New York, but his daughter was killed. The plot is about a revenge: Lung Sei (Dean Shek), Ho (Ti Lung) and Ken (Chow Yun-fat) are taking revenge against new triad boss Ko Ying-pui (Kwan Shan) and his group of army killers. Lung Sei want's revenge for the murder of his daughter Peggy (Regina Kent), Ho want's revenge for Kit's (Leslie Cheung) murder and Ken want's revenge for his restaurant in New York that has been destroyed. That is the film about. It has a lot of action and kick ass scenes and it also has a human emotional portrayal from the actors.
这部电影讲地是：关于一个伪造和生产美元的业务，一个新老板从阿豪接管了龙四的业务，当时他被一名三合会团伙的老板设计了谋杀罪名，但他并没有犯下这一罪名，他不得不逃往美国纽约，但他的女儿被杀了。剧情讲述了一场复仇：龙四（石天饰）、阿豪（狄龙饰）和阿坚（周润发饰）向新黑帮老大高英培（关山饰）和他手下的一群杀手进行复仇。龙四想为他的女儿晓晖（简慧真饰）被谋杀而复仇，阿豪想为阿杰（张国荣）被谋杀而复仇，阿坚想为他在纽约被毁的餐厅而报仇。这就是这部电影的主题，它有很多动作和精彩的场景，也有来自演员的人类情感写照。

I love the action sequences in New York from Ken (Chow Yun-Fat) in the hotel a group of assassins comes to kill Ken and Lung Sei (Dean Shek) Which Ken (Chow Yun-Fat) uses shotgun Franchi SPAS-12 and kills several mafia gangsters in the hotel New York. He fires several rounds with two Berettas 92F on a gangsters than flees while he fires another round with another gun on an assassins car. The final showdown and the last stand off with two Berettas between Ken (Chow Yun-Fat) and Chong (Lung Ming-yan) the firing scene was outstanding performed I have ever seen. John Woo tried that scene in Hard Boiled but he didn't want to copied his own work so he change it. Ti Lung uses a samurai sword and he kills bunch of gangsters. The trio of friends uses a lot of guns and grandees while killing a bunch of gangsters. The final showdown for me was spectacular.
我喜欢阿坚(周润发)在纽约酒店里的动作场景，在纽约酒店，一群杀手来刺杀阿坚和龙四（石天饰），阿坚（周润发）使用枪Franchi spa -12杀死了几个黑手党。他用两支贝雷塔92F向歹徒开了几枪，然后逃跑了，同时他又用另一支枪向暗杀者的汽车开了一枪。最终的决战和最后的站在两个贝雷塔之间的阿坚（周润发）和Chong(龙铭恩)的射击场景是我看过的最棒的表演。吴宇森试过《辣手警花》中的那个场景，但是他不想复制自己的作品，所以他换了一个场景。阿豪用一把武士刀杀死了一群歹徒，三个朋友使用了大量的枪支和手雷杀死了一群黑帮分子。最后的决战对我来说是震撼人心的。

Overall: This flick get's a perfect 10 by me. Chow Yun-Fat and Leslie Cheung's screen time was beautiful shot, well written and acted perfectly. Theme score from the first movie was also beautiful, the action scenes where incredible. They don't make action movies like this one today. This flick is far way better than John Woo's Once A Thief. With Hard Target, Broken Arrow, Hard Boiled, Paycheck and The Killer would be a Better Tomorrow II my sixth John Woo favorite film that I love to death.
总的来说：这部电影对我来说是完美的10分。周润发和张国荣的银幕时间是都非常的完美，剧本写得也很好，表演也都非常完美，第一部电影的主题曲也很动听，动作场面也相当精彩。现在他们已经不拍这样的动作片了。这部电影比吴宇森的《纵横四海》要好得多。继《铁拳》、《断箭》、《硬汉》、《片酬》和《杀手2》之后，吴宇森的《英雄本色2》是我最爱的第六部电影，到死也要爱的那种。

A Better Tomorrow 2 is a 1987 Hong Kong action film written and directed by John Woo. A follow-up to its popular predecessor, A Better Tomorrow, the film stars returning cast members Chow Yun-fat, Ti Lung and Leslie Cheung alongside new cast member Dean Shek. The film was released in Hong Kong on 17 December 1987.
《英雄本色2》是一部1987年的香港动作片，由吴宇森编剧和导演。继广受欢迎的上一部电影《英雄本色》之后，这部电影的演员阵容包括回归的周润发、狄龙和张国荣，以及新演员石天。这部电影于1987年12月17日在香港上映。

The final showdown steals the movie
最后的决战抢尽了整部电影的风头

This sequel to the 1986 predecessor is fantastic. Although Woo wasn't too happy about making a sequel and he didn't really care much about the film whilst making it, I think it totally worked and I think it's a lot better than the original. This time, the twin brother of Mark, (a character played by Chow Yun-Fat from the first A BETTER TOMORROW) Ken (Chow Yun Fat), must team up with undercover cop, Kit (Leslie Cheung), and his brother Ho (Ti Lung) and a good friend named Lung (Dean Shek) to avenge the death of Lung's daughter who was murdered by a Triads. Like the first film, it's got a hard storyline to follow, however, it has some fine acting that makes you care for the characters and it has some awesome action scenes (most notably, the final shootout). But if you liked the first A BETTER TOMORROW, then you'll enjoy this one even more.
这部电影是1986年，前一部电影的续集，棒极了！虽然吴宇森不太乐意拍摄续集，而且在拍的时候他也不是很在乎这部电影，但我认为这部电影拍摄的还是非常的成功，而且比第一部好很多。这一次小马（由周润发在《英雄本色》第一部中扮演的一个角色）的孪生兄弟阿坚（周润发饰）必须与卧底警察合作，阿杰（张国荣）、他的兄弟阿豪（狄龙）和一个叫做龙四（石天饰）的好朋友为女儿被三合会谋杀而展开的报仇。和第一部一样，它的故事情节让人很难跟上，但是，它有一些精彩的表演，让你能够迅速地喜欢上角色，还有一些很棒的动作场景（最值得注意的是：最后的枪战），但如果你喜欢第一部《英雄本色》，那么你会更喜欢第二部。

For fans of John Woo or the Hong Kong action thriller
献给吴宇森或香港动作片的粉丝

Chow Yun-Fat is back, teaming up the cop "Kit" and ex-con "Ho" to deal some serious whup-ass on a gang of thugs, for killing their friend's daughter.
周润发又回来了，他与警察阿杰和有前科的阿豪联手对付一帮暴徒，因为他们杀死了他们朋友的女儿。

This one's not John Woo's best but it's still great in the genre of HK cop movies. The first half is not as good as the second, with some plot holes and kind of weird scenes establishing the state of mind of their friend (whose daughter was killed). Not to give anything away but - you will see what I mean.
这并不是吴宇森电影中最好的一部，但对于香港警匪片来说还是很棒的。前半段没有后半段好，一些情节上的漏洞和一些奇怪的场景，最终造成了他们的朋友（他的女儿被杀了）的心理崩溃。没有透漏出任何的信息（我相信大家会明白我的意思）。

Better Tomorrow II proves that nobody looks cooler wielding a 12-gauge shotgun than Chow Yun-Fat (ok, maybe Schwarzeneggar in T2).
《英雄本色2》证明了没有人比周润发（好吧，可能除了终结者2中的施瓦辛格）挥舞12口径的猎枪更酷了。

The final gun battle at Ko's mansion is phenomenal - it gives Scarface a run for its money in terms of body count and ropes of blood splashing on walls. I love Woo's explosive style of close gun battles and over-the-top carnage. I mean, is it really necessary, once pumping 2 lethal rounds into the bad guy's chest thus assuring his death, to empty the clips from both handguns into him as he is staggering back? Better Tomorrow II states emphatically - YES!
最后一场枪战发生在高天培的豪宅里，场面非常壮观——从死亡人数和墙上飞溅的血迹来看，和《疤面煞星》有的一拼，我喜欢吴宇森对充满爆发力的近距离枪战和夸张的杀戮镜头的演绎。我的意思是：真的有必要向那些能够确认死亡的坏蛋胸口补射两发子弹吗？在他摇摇晃晃地往回走时，把两支手枪的子弹都射向他吗？《英雄本色2》强调-是的!

Misses the Mark, in too many ways
在很多方面都没有做到最好

mjscarface
The first 'A Better Tomorrow' was a stunning, kinetic and emotional roller-coaster that changed the face of HK cinema. The success of ABT meant a sequel and some bright spark decided that Chow Yun Fat (whose character was definitely quite dead at ABT's finale) should make a return.
第一部《英雄本色》是一部震撼人心、充满活力和情感的过山车式电影，改变了香港电影业的面貌。《英雄本色》的成功意味着续集的出现，一些亮点决定了周润发（他饰演的角色在《英雄本色》的最后一幕绝对是死了）应该回归。

A prequel would have made more sense, but instead Chow yun Fat returns as dead Mark's identical twin Ken. Holy plot contrivances Batman! After reformed gangster Ho is sent to prison at the end of ABT, his brother Kit has gone undercover to investigate a suspected counterfeiter. Given the chance to join the investigation, Ho is released to act as an informer, if only so he can protect Kit.
拍一部前传可能会更有意义，但周润发饰演的是死去的小马哥的孪生兄弟阿坚。伟大的蝙蝠侠式的情节！在《英雄本色》结局的时候，改过自新的阿豪被送进了监狱，他的兄弟阿杰做了卧底，调查一个假币嫌疑犯。如果有机会加入调查，他将会作为一个线人被释放，只有这么做才能保护阿杰。

All good so far right? The film does well to pick up from where last time left off, thankfully bringing back Ti Lung and Leslie Cheung... but then totally takes the wrong direction. To me, Chow Yun Fat may have been the charismatic centre of ABT but it was always about the brothers Ho and Kit. In ABT2, the film spends way too much time on two NEW characters - the twin brother Ken and frxd gangster Si Lung, who is gradually going insane after falling foul of Hong Kong's triads. For every tense sequence of Ho and Kit's investigation, there's two or more scenes or Si Lung's shaking and shuddering and Ken's attempts to snap him out of it.
到目前为止还好吧？这部电影很好地延续了上一集的情节，令人欣慰的是，狄龙和张国荣又回来了……但却完全走向了错误的方向。对我来说，周润发可能是《英雄本色》最核心的魅力所在，但它却一直围绕着阿豪和阿杰。在《英雄本色2》中，在两个新角色上花费了太多的时间——双胞胎兄弟阿坚和被陷害的黑帮成员龙四，龙四在与香港三合会发生冲突后逐渐变得精神失常。在阿豪和阿杰的调查过程中的每一个紧张镜头中，都有两个或更多的场景，或者是龙四的颤抖，或者是阿坚试图把他从其中拉出来。

As far as the action goes, there are no complaints here. The finale is top-drawer chaos on behalf of John Woo and at least gets a great build up sequence to lead into it. But the story focuses on characters and subplots that, to be frank, are mostly irrelevant. Before you criticise me, I love Woo's other work. But saying 'this is a John Woo film' and that 'action is the priority' would do a disservice to the original, which may have changed action cinema, but always kept in mind the story and characters at hand.
就动作部分而言，这里没有人会抱怨。对于吴宇森来说，最后的结局是凌乱的，至少需要有一个很好的序列来引导它。但这个故事的重点是人物，坦率地说，次要情节大多是无关紧要的。在你批评我之前，我想说：我喜欢吴宇森的其他作品，但是如果说“这是一部吴宇森的电影”以及“动作优先”可能会对第一部有所伤害，第一部虽然可能忽略了动作镜头，但却总是能把故事情节以及人物特征留在观众的脑海当中。

Not one of the good Woo flicks
在吴宇森的电影当中，并不是一部很好的电影

I am a fan of John Woo movies, especially The Killer, but this movie just did not do it for me.
我是吴宇森电影的粉丝，尤其是《杀手》，但是这部电影并没有达到我的要求。

Although it is no fault of the movie maker, the subtitles on the DVD were poorly translated, but the biggest problem was that it seemed as if the director and actors were just going through the paces. All of the shots seemed very trite and many seemed cut-off. It was so bad that I almost wonder if I got some kind of junky version of the movie, especially since it has gotten so many good reviews. (For the record, it got it from a reputable vendor.)
虽然这不是电影制片人的错，但DVD上的字幕翻译得很差，而且最大的问题是，导演和演员似乎只是在走过场。所有的镜头看起来都很老套，很多镜头看起来都很过时。它是如此的糟糕以至于我几乎怀疑我看的是某种垃圾版本的电影，尤其是它已经得到了这么多的好评。(声明一下，这些都是从一个有信誉的供应商那里得到的。)

I do not know if this is a result of the movie's poor editing, but the story seemed very shallow as well, especially for a Woo flick. The passion that Woo's characters usually have was completely missing in this movie, but as I said before, I think the problem was poor editing. What really topped it off, though, was the whole twin-brother bit. That is such a cheap shot, but I should have expected it since I was wondering how Yun-Fat Chow would have a role in the sequel.
我不知道这是不是电影剪辑不当造成的结果，但是这个故事看起来也很肤浅，尤其是对于一部吴宇森电影来说。吴宇森塑造出的角色的激情在这部电影中已经找不到了，但正如我之前所说的，我认为问题在于剪辑不当。不过，最让人兴奋的是这个双胞胎的故事，这是一个性价比很高的安排，但我应该料到它，因为我一直在想周润发会在续集里扮演什么样的角色。
