Hard-Boiled (1992) ****
A Hong Kong hospital, full of sick patients, becomes a battleground between cops and triad goons. This John Woo's actioner probably has the highest body count of any motion picture in history - innocent bystanders drop like flies during spectacularly staged orgies of gunfire. With Chow Yun-Fat, Tony Leung Chiu-Wai and Anthony Wong.
Aladdin (1992) ****

"Arabian Nights" **
"One Jump Ahead" **
"Friend Like Me" ***
"Prince Ali" ***
"A Whole New World" ***
"Arabian Nights" **
"One Jump Ahead" **
"Friend Like Me" ***

Requiem pour un beau sans-coeur (1992) ****
Story of a criminal on the run, told from the subjective point-of-views of his accomplices.
Once Upon A Time In China II (1992) ****
The popular saga continues. This time, the villains are Chinese ultra-nationalists from the White Lotus Society. Wong Fei-Hong (Jet Li) joins forces with Sun Yat-Sen (the future leader of China) to fight against them.
