  1. 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 youtu.be/BzjfrdcN1Z8?is=5PjQ8I

  11. Heute gab es mal was klassisches vom Postmenschen. Der heilige Gral der „Heroric Bloodshed“ Welle der 90er Jahre, das Meisterwerk von John Woo. Hier wird nicht lange gefackelt, hier wird niemals nachgeladen, hier wird nur geballert, was die Berettas hergeben.
    Und jetzt auch in 4k und auch legal im Gegensatz zu den deutschen Releases (Bootlegs).
    Hach das waren noch Zeiten :)

    I might have to watch it again to check. Always good to have an excuse to rewatch Hard Boiled

    #JohnWoo #HardBoiled

  17. Also my recollection of the chit chat in the opening scene is that the two cops explicitly reference Hong Kong's then approaching return to rule by mainland China as reasons why they might emigrate, something that did not feature in the version I saw last night.

  18. I saw John Woo's Hard Boiled last night. still brilliant. But are the subtitles and perhaps even some of the dialogue different to when I saw it in the early 1990s? Memory is unreliable, but I recall the line "Your piss has saved my life" featuring.

  29. ADAM WINGARD NO SE ENCARGARA DE DIRIGIR LA SECUELA DE "CARA A CARA" DE JOHN WOO.
    Hace un lustro, Paramount Pictures anunció su intención de revisitar Cara a cara, la inolvidable cinta de acción dirigida por John Woo. El encargo recayó en el dúo formado por Adam Wingard y Simon Barrett, responsables de thrillers de culto contemporáneo, con la idea de levantar no tanto un remake literal como una secuela…

  33. #Movies #ActionMovies #HongKongMovies #KungFuMovies

    I watched the 4K re-release of #JohnWoo's #HardBoiled (1992) last night at my local #AMC.

    I had forgotten how violent the genre of Hong Kong action movies can be but the action is SO ridiculous that I view it as a parody that can't be taken seriously.

    Viewed historically, this genre of films is a modern extension of the earlier Hong Kong #KungFuMovie genre where the heroes faced off with hundreds of combatants bare handed & killed or defeated all of them.

    Hard Boiled is just like an old kung fu movie but the combatants use guns & explosives instead of their hands & feet.

    Frankly, I got bored with all of the killing/combat after awhile because there was too much of a sameness to it all but various plot twists, played seriously & for comedic effect kept me interested.

    It's not for everyone but in the genre of Hong Kong action movies, Hard Boiled is considered important & worth watching if you have an interested in them but not if you don't. 🤷‍♂️
