Question: Do both films: Hospital Massacre and A Better Tomorrow have the directors from the same country?

The film had a profound influence on the Hong Kong film industry, and later on an international scale. It was a landmark film, credited with setting the template for the heroic bloodshed genre, which was considerably influential in Hong Kong action cinema, and later Hollywood. Although it was produced with a tight budget, and was relatively unknown until it went on screen( due to virtually no advertising), it broke Hong Kong's box office record and went on to become a blockbuster in Asia. It is highly regarded, ranking# 2 in the Best 100 Chinese Motion Pictures. Its success also ensured the sequel" A Better Tomorrow II", also directed by Woo, and" A Better Tomorrow 3: Love& Death in Saigon", a prequel directed by Tsui Hark. A Better Tomorrow is a 1986 Hong Kong action film directed by John Woo, and starring Ti Lung, Leslie Cheung and Chow Yun- fat. Although Ti Lung was the film's lead actor, co-star Chow Yun-fat's breakout performance outshone him, solidifying the latter's status as one of the top superstars in the Hong Kong film industry. Chow's character" Mark Gor" was imitated by many fans even decades after the film's release. <SEP> A Better Tomorrow III: Love & Death in Saigon  is a 1989 Hong Kong action drama film co-produced and directed by Tsui Hark. It is a loosely based prequel to John Woo's "A Better Tomorrow" and "A Better Tomorrow II". The film was directed by Tsui Hark, the producer behind the first two films in the series. John Woo wrote a screenplay for a third installment, but he never got to direct it due to having had artistic differences with Tsui during the filming of the second film. Instead, the original screenplay later became "Bullet in the Head". The two films have many parallels, most notably, both being set in the Vietnam War. The film stars Chow Yun-fat, who reprises his role of Mark Gor from the first film, Tony Leung Ka-fai and Anita Mui. Set during the Vietnam War, it sets up the story of how Mark became the character he was in the original film. The second part of the title "Love & Death in Saigon" (夕陽之歌 or Song of the Setting Sun in Chinese) is also the title song for this movie, sung by Anita Mui, who was also the leading lady in this third installment. <SEP> He was born in Tel Aviv, Israel and studied film in London at London Film School.
