Johnny To movies are like instruction booklets for manliness.  Let’s take a look at two of my favorite movies; The Mission and Exiled.  Both movies have a cadre of badass hitmen.  Both movies have a lot of bitchin’ gunplay.  Both movies have Simon Yam as a bastard villain.
This is a winning combination.
In short, Johnny To movies are what Mexican Standoffs think about while having a wetdream, if Mexican Standoffs were sentient beings and not just occurrences.  The only downside to Exiled is that it’s being remade for an American audience by one Samuel Hadida, who also produced Silent Hill and Good Night, and Good Luck.  Actually, those were pretty good movies.  Fuck yeah!

They give new meaning to the term "Badass Triad Gun Masters On a Mission To Right Wrongs, Drink Booze, and Shoot Lots of Guns."
