What a stylistic movie, just oozes such a feeling of charm. I find all Johnnie To films to be like this.

My favourite Johnnie To film. One of my favourite films of all time. Exiled after this is an amazing double feature.

Jackie lui , Francis ng , Roy cheung , Simon yam , Anthony Wong , lam suet … holy what a cast. anyone a fan of hk cinema should know all these people. Legend. Heyday of hk films

Man.. this movie is beautiful. Each and every scene is well planned and organised like a painting drawn by a great artist. A number to be remembered, one of the best cult action movies of Hong Kong. Well done, bravo!

In these ten years, it is really rare to have such a good script, Hong Kong movies, I love you.😊

This is the best movie of its genre in human history. Fight me.

how you define that. I figure I just come back to this movie to rewatch it ever so often.

One of the best Johnnie To's work.

This is my 3rd Johnny To film I've seen so far, and I have to admit, he definitely has his own unique and admirable style! Plan on watching all of his films now. Saw Election 1 and 'Triad Election' and both were solid as was this one!

This was the first movie of Johnnie To I saw, in France. I was hooked right then and there. I have since seen as many as I could given that not all his movies were available in the occidental world. Other pearls, PTU, Breaking News... thanks for sharing...

41:00 The mall shootout is the best shootout scene of all HK movies (in my opinion). Nobody talks about how stylish and how smooth and subtle the whole scene was. Even the bad guys did a great job acting out the scene, including the chubby dude that impersonate as a cleaner.

Remember this scene and this whole film was created under the pressure of having only 2.5 million HKD and very little time for everything, to the point where they didn't even have a proper script and rehearsal to work with, every bullet counts, and finished it within 18 or 19 days according to Johnnie To's words. Yet as the miracle happened, this movie became a classic and the one which brought back Milkyway Image from the bottom of pit. As a local myself, I'm happy to see people from other countries who also appreciate this masterpiece the same way as I do. Appreciate it!

Perfect casting for this movie. This band of brothers played off each other so well.

Very enjoyable movie especially the sparse dialogue,the low key locations and brilliant soundtrack,many thanks for uploading.

鎗火是金融風暴餘波時期的作品。金融風暴時期的香港電影特色是cast強、演員少、製作成本低。因為製作預算有限，所以導演更加著重用用當時獨特的拍攝手法去加強電影效果。而這種獨特的拍攝手法繼續用來拍2006年的放.逐和2008年的復仇。這三部電影成為經典的鎗火三部曲。

When this first came out in Hong Kong it literally rocked the movie theme by storm. 20 years later I was trying a Rock Island 1911 that had its trigger dialed down to 1 pound I had this weird flashback to this movie. It was a full plot, and the ending was very good. It was subtle, but impressive. They started as opponents, they ended as brothers in arms

I like this movie a lot, one of the best local movies, well scripted, awesome cinematography and great soundtrack. There are many little details throughout that I didn't catch until I watched it a few times after, or someone actually pointed it out. The one scene that I feel can be edited better is the alley sniper scene. The bodyguards reacted and grabbed their guns after two shots were fired by the snipers, which were about two three seconds apart. I would've thought these guys, being that good, would respond quicker. Seems to me it feels more "right" if their reaction is put before the second shot was fired.

Mike is the shooter. probably (ex-military) Fat is the smuggler. Drug dealer/ gun runner Curtis is the calm one and most level headed (The Leader) Roy is the extortionist (Businessman) Shin is the up and coming gangster out to make a name for himself.

@@traashghost Watching as a sequel made perfect sense to me though, the three guys were sent to kill a childhood friend of theirs who also used to work under the same boss as them, the boss in Exiled is played by an actor that appears in The Mission as the boss Lung’s right hand man (I imagined in between both movies boss Lung had died and Simon Yam’s character had taken his place) and the three main characters all have the exact same personalities, Roy Cheung’s character knows a lot about guns and mentions in Exiled that he wanted to open a gun store, Anthony Wong also feels like the stoic iceman hired killer that he was in The Mission and the same with Francis Ng, and it was kind of depressing and funny watching them as the same characters in The Mission who used to be so tactical and now are sent to a place they don’t know with no idea where to go or what to do. Another connection is that in both movies Anthony Wong and crew have to deal with their bosses ordering them to take out fellow gang members, in The Mission they fool everybody by staging a hit on Shin so he can go into hiding, and in Exiled they are faced with a similar dilemma, they don’t want to kill their friend Wo and try to cheat their way out of it so that the boss doesn’t find out he’s not actually dead

@@ActionJotaPe I completely agree that Exiled works really well as a sequel and you’ve shown me more similarities than I even thought about. I need to watch these movies back to back now. It’s just that it isn’t officially a sequel is all, maybe Johnnie To just wanted to get the gang back together for another movie and their character dynamics worked so well in The Mission he kept them the same for Exiled, or possibly at one time it was meant to be a sequel but that was changed - I don’t know. Either way they belong together in a 4K blu-ray boxset.
