Director [[John Woo]]'s favorite handgun, the [[Beretta 92F]], makes frequent appearances in this film. Mark ([[Chow Yun-Fat]]), Ho ([[Ti Lung]]), and Kit ([[Leslie Cheung]]) all use the pistol at different times in the film, as do many of Triad gangsters. Aside from being the film that introduced the Beretta 92F as a staple of John Woo films, ''A Better Tomorrow'' was one of the first films ever to feature this famous pistol, which had been on the civilian market for less than a year at the time of filming.
