Starring Leon Lai and Lau Ching-wan, A Hero Never Dies is a heroic bloodshed tale centering on the friendship and rivalry of two men in competing Triads in the midst of a gang war. The film has often been compared to the 1986 Hong Kong film A Better Tomorrow as both films involve characters who wind up being betrayed by their bosses. [2]
