I'm going to get his, along with Enter the Dragon and Infernal Affairs.

Btw, I can't wait to get the Face/Off anniversary DVD.

Yes sir!

 

[블라스]

Yes sir!

I might have peed my pants a bit when I saw the DVDactive annoucement for that

Anyway, Dragon Dynasty doesn't have The Killer planned for this year (but a Fist of Legend 2 disc is coming!), so I'm guessing they'll release it next year. I too want to replace my Fox Lorber dvd of that movie

Badass action movie,the shootouts are insanet: The sliding down the banister shot is gold and the entire finale in the hospital is awesome

Mad Dog is a great character and Leung and Chow deliver as always

 

[블라스]

Mad Dog is a great character...

Cool trivia: Philip Kwok a.k.a Mad Dog is one the the Five Venoms, and choreographed the fights/stunts in Brotherhood of the Wolf and Tomorrow Never Dies, among others

 

[Addendum]

Definite must-buy.

Now if they can release The Killer, I won't have to give a few body parts to snag the out of print Criterion versions

 

[Movies205]

I prefer The Killer but Hard Boiled is still good... It's been a long time since I saw Hardboiled.

 

[Sava]

Btw, I can't wait to get the Face/Off anniversary DVD.

[Space Moose]

[Rishi]

This is supposed to be a bad release; dubtitles and a bad transfer (somehow both skewed and cropped)

anyway, I just saw the movie for the first time the other day: I wasn't impressed. Aside from the ending its entirely forgettable imo. Everything in the hospital is good (the infamous longshot is great) - infact I think if I ever watch it again it'll be only that scene.

edit: by that i mean the entire climax, not just the longshot

 

[Eggyman]

I :heart: this film.

 

[byte19]

the stuff of champions this film! my first introduction to the Woo-Man was this followed by the Killer. i was sheltered no more.....

 

[Stringer]

I wish Woo would go back to action like that

 

[Space Moose]

I wish Woo would go back to action like that

Hell yeah! A team up with the Chow Yun Fat master!

 

[Ace of Knaves]

I luuuurrrvee this film!!! Haven't seen it in donkeys though, might have to watch it soon.

 

[BizarroAids]

This is one of my faves of John Woo. I'm lovin my Dragon Dynasty copy.

Takes me back to the good ole' days of Woo. Pre-"Paycheck"

If you're an action fan of any kind, you NEED this in your collection.
