9th Hong Kong Film Awards 第 9 届香港电影金像奖 • Nominee for Best Art Direction 提名最佳美术指导: Lok Chi-fung 陆子峰 • Nominee for Best Original Film Score 提名最佳电影配乐: Lowell Lo Kwun-ting 卢冠廷 Director Tsui Hark’s loose prequel to the Better Tomorrow saga is a groundbreaking female-led gangster epic, and who’s better to play a cool female gangster than Anita Mui? Set during the Sino-Vietnamese War, A Better Tomorrow III: Love and Death in Saigon sees Mark (Chow Yun-fat) travelling to Vietnam to save his father and cousin (Tony Leung Ka-fai) when he is rescued by gun runner, Kit (Mui). Mark and Kit fall in love, but like most gangland romances, it can only end in a hail of gunfire. Using the turmoil in Vietnam as a commentary on China’s political happenings at the time, this is at once an explosive genre-bender and a timely allegory. The film also features the Anita Mui classic, 《夕阳之歌》as the movie’s theme song. 《英雄本色》系列中 Mark 哥的前传，却以冷艳英气的女主角梅艷芳引领剧情，颠覆黑帮片男性主导的 模式。导演徐克藉越南动荡侧写 年的复杂时局，1974 年中越南战争期间，Mark 哥(周润发)与堂弟(梁 家辉)在越南走私美金，幸得黑帮老大何长青(时任三郎)的女人周英杰(梅艳芳)相助，顿成生死莫逆。 Mark 与英杰情愫暗生，面对何长青的追杀，唯有在枪林弹雨中做个了断。梅艷芳演绎乱世之花，主题 曲《夕阳之歌》亦成经典。
