In 'The Killer' (1989), a contract killer accidentally blinds a nightclub singer while blowing up some gangsters. Driven by guilt, he decides to take on more work to raise money for the singer's cornea transplant. At the same time, a maverick cop is on his trail, and as the two men shoot their way through hordes of gangsters they begin to develop a grudging respect for each other. In 'Once a Thief' (1990), Yun-Fat plays an orphan who has grown up with a family of thieves. After stealing a valuable painting for his foster father, he is double-crossed and forced into planning an elaborate heist with his sidekicks in order to recover the painting. Finally, 'Bullet in the Head' (1990) is an explosive war epic about three young brothers who escape from Hong Kong to Vietnam after geting involved with the triads. After trying to set up some criminal scams of their own, the brothers are accused by the North Vietnamese of being CIA spies. Imprisoned and tortured in a POW camp, the three brothers slowly tear each other apart in order to survive, and build up resentments that will come to a head when they finally make it back to Hong Kong. ...John Woo Collection - 3-DVD Box Set ( Die xue jie tou / Zong heng si hai / Dip huet seung hung ) ( Bullet in the Head / Once a Thief / The Killer )

This actually contains the 2 disc version of 'Bullet in the Head', making it a 4 disc set. All of the extras on that bonus disc are listed on the back of the box, so I believe the '3 Disc Collector's Edition' note on the front is just plain wrong.
As far as I know, these are the best region 2 editions of these movies currently available.
