I should give this a watch. I've never seen any of John Woo's Hong Kong movies.

You're in for a treat.

you're up for a ride. Hard Boiled goes hard as fuck. There is a reason why people call it the greatest action movie of all time. Woo's 86-92 run is biblical - dude was on another level making it look easy.

Old school hongkie movies were good, it’s a huge cultural loss after China took over.
