It was a critically acclaimed film production for producer's Tsui Hark's Film Workshop. The story follows Ah Jong (Chow-Yun Fat), the killer who accidentally hurts the eyes of the pop singer Jennie (Sally Yeh). Later, he meets Jennie and finds that she needs an expensive operation due to accident or she will go blind. To get the money for the surgery, Jeff decides to perform one last hit. Insp. Li Ying (Danny Lee), who has been chasing Jeff for a long time, is determined to catch him.

Producer Tsui Hark and his production studio argued with John Woo throughout the production of the film. Changes including the idea of even producing another action film to the market, the music use, and film styles such as slow motion were debated over between Woo and Tsui. On its release the film was not a commercial success in Hong Kong, but a great critical success both overseas and in Hong Kong where it won Best Director and Best Editing at the 9th Hong Kong Film Award The Killer revolves around the character of Ah-Jong (Chow Yun-Fat), a professional killer who has decided to retire. During a hit in the opening act, Ah-Jong accidentally blinds a young nightclub singer, Jennie (Sally Yeh) with the muzzle flash from his pistol. Driven to help the now near-blinded woman by securing money for a sight-saving corneal transplant, he agrees to carry out another hit. During his escape he is pursued by Li Ying (Danny Lee Sau-Yin), a cop who is investigating his crimes. Ah Jong then finds himself being hunted by his employers who want to get rid of him for being seen "on the job".

After witnessing Ah-Jong save a dying girl and learning about Jennie's operation, the cop realizes arresting this hitman would not set things right. Together they fight the Triads through amazing action sequences which ultimately climax in an explosive shootout at an abandoned church. There, Ah-Jong has Li Ying swear to donate the hitman's eyes to Jennie if something were to happen to him.

The ending is tragic, in that Ah-Jong dies, his eyes shot out by the Triad boss, Wong Hoi. Jennie is left crawling for him in the dark, her operation unrealized. The boss flees to police custody, but Li Ying chases after him: Li Ying realizes that the law could never give someone like Ah-Jong justice, so he acts under his own sense of right and wrong and shoots the boss in cold blood. The Killer was released in Hong Kong in 1989. The film was not a financial success in Hong Kong. The film's star Chow Yun-Fat suggested the level of violence in it turned people off while Hong Kong governmental authorities against the filmmakers that the film glorified acted like recruitment campaigns for the Triads as through the 1980s there was a significant rise in the Triads membership.[11][12] Film producer Terence Chang suggested that the films success around the world made several Hong Kong filmmakers and critics jealous. Terrence stated "It created a certain kind of resentment in the film industry in Hong Kong. One thing I can say for sure, the American European, Japanese, Korean and even the Taiwanese audiences and critics appreciated The Killer a lot more than the people in Hong Kong

  • @RAE10182504 Fuck Harry Potter. I'll take a Better Tomorrow, Bullet in the head, The Killer and Hard boiled over that harry potter shit any day of the week. If Tequila Yuen was in Harry potter, that movie would be over in 5 minutes after Tequila plants one right in Voldemort's skull ;-)

  • Im so glad the american morons who thought they can do a Cowboy Bebop movie in Live action are no longer doing it. If anyone was to do it, it would be John Woo..

  • chow with a shotgun and two pistols is unkillable

  • All I can say is, those were some GOOD TIMES for HONG KONG !

    GOLDEN ERA OF HONG KONG !

  • Why the hell did that priest come out so late. Was he just annoyed enough by all the shooting so see what all the hullabaloo was all about?

  • @ 3:30 dude just wanted to paint

  • it's funny how people compare call of duty games to real war, when it's really more like John Woo movies.

  • @bretthauerseven I actually wonder if the shot of Chow looking at Danny is reversed. I can't tell, anyone else?

  • Note that at 4:17 when the dramatic sequence to Handel's Messiah begins, and Chow and Danny are looking at each other, they're both looking the same direction. Danny's looking to his left, and Chow is too, but Danny is on Chow's right. They can't be looking at each other. It looks kinda funny when you consider that

  • Homie at the 3 minute mark.... Hot Damn!
