Besides Pierrot le Fou, A Better Tomorrow 2 is probably the least surprising inclusion

Not a single movie made after '87. Checks out.

When I read "a martial arts classic" I just knew it would be Enter the Dragon.

What I remember the most from A Better Tomorrow 2 was the “APOLOGIZE TO THE RICE RIGHT NOW!” scene. The first movie was better received.

6. Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia (1974)

Shinichiro Watanabe is the OG REAL DEAL.

To be honest, I'm not surprised seeing A Better Tomorrow 2 being listed on there. When I watched Cowboy Bebop, I felt a bit of John Woo and HK gun-fu cinema played a lot of influence for the anime (along with other gun action anime like Noir, and titles like that). The other listed on there is not that surprising to me and I say that not only as an anime fan, but as a bit of a film buff/aficionado myself.

I wonder if the book will reveal what/who's behind the obsession with billiards (specifically custom pool cue artisans) that's all over Cowboy Bebop. I could die happy if it did. Very Happy
