“Holmes’s stories […] have a surprisingly grounded view of crime, & one that arguably fits better into the hardboiled tradition of Hammett & Chandler than the cozy tradition of Christie”

Still thinking about #HardBoiled Arrow UHD BD. So many cool moments! Might need a rewatch soon. Also the gif potential from the film is off the chain!

The Arrow UHD BD of #johnwoo #Hardboiled is absolutely perfect. I never dreamed this could look this good. What an completely bonkers movie! The body count must be higher than Total Recall! Amazed no one was killed shooting this.
Rewatching it a question came up 🤔[SPOILER]What was the point of the CO2? It seemed to have no effect. Was it just to make sure everything in the hospital would blow up at the end? [/SPOILER]
Also the opening reminded me of McBain from #TheSimpsons https://youtu.be/BzjfrdcN1Z8?is=5PjQ8I_L12DEAZrS

I remember this being the first John Woo/Chow Yun-Fat film to properly cross over in the west - or at least for me. I don’t think Woo ever bettered it with any of his big-budget Hollywood efforts.

I had some friends over yesterday. Neither had seen #Hardboiled (I know!) so I popped the 4k into the player and we had a blast! I cannot praise the UHD enough. Hardboiled has always looked soft on home releases but the 4k is both sharp and vibrant. #PhysicalMedia #bluray

#Movies #ActionHeroes . . .
We male #AAPI #ChineseAmericans have few positive male movie icons. heroes.
For us #Boomer Chinese-American, this was #BruceLee, who died far too young. Not only did he have a white wife, he was a "bad dude" & dispelled the negative sexual stereotypes of Asian men that still exist.
While I don't think he's the greatest Asian hero of all time, as the following article suggests, #ChowYunFat was a successor to Bruce & his partnership with John Woo is akin to that between Mifune & Kurosawa but while significant within the genre of Asian action films, far less groundbreaking than the Japanese collaboration was.
In any event, if you never seen #HardBoiled, #ABetterTomorrow & #Killer, you should make the effort to do so, because they are ground breaking movies in the modern #HongKongMovie genre & are essential to a full understanding of Asian action films.
