Surprised to see Bullet in the Head above A Brighter Summer Day, I was remarkably impressed with Woo's film but in terms of historical importance Yang's film seems to have received much more international praise. It still angers me even after his death that no one has been "brave" enough to release Yang's work stateside. I'm told his films aren't even considered commercially viable in Taiwan, which is a shame because he's still a director I'm largely relying on reputation for.
