Peace Hotel (film)

Peace Hotel is a 1995 Hong Kong action western directed by Wai Ka-fai in his directorial debut, and produced by John Woo.

[1][2] Ten years before the film's era, Wong A-ping slaughters an entire troop of bandits himself, earning him the nickname Killer.

When Wong returns, Shau, who is bathing behind a curtain, lies to him, claiming to be one of the Soong sisters and at the same time, the daughter of Emperor Zhao Bing, while unsuccessfully trying to con money from him.

At the hotel's restaurant, Shau sees Wong in person for the first time and tries to sell him some of his belongings that she had stolen from his room.

She realizes who he is after seeing a picture of him in his pocketwatch that she stole and chokes on a sour plum she placed in her wine glass.

Shau gambles with the guests and workers all night until a group of bandits from the Grand Hall arrive and Wong forces her to reveal that the loan shark she stabbed died from his wounds.

Shau unsuccessfully tries various ways to trick Wong into protecting her, leading him to continuously slap her, much to the delight to the workers and guests.

It is revealed that Wong was a former leader of the bandits who killed the entire gang when a couple of them betrayed him and that Ting was the teenager that he spared years earlier.

The guests and workers leave, but Ting does not keep his promise to spare them and prepares to massacre them until Shau arrives on a horse.

Still later, he heard rumors that Wong was seen in Northeast China helping a young widow and her son in a hotel.
