its a hong kong film but its completly in english
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRQHDPk7vy8im gonna see Die hard 4 though since the other ones were good. just not as good as hard boiled
i think the 3rd one was the best as well because of Samuel L Jackson even though the other two were pretty good.
Hard Boiled defined what Action Films are today. That film was so *modding* good. John Woo = Legendary Director. Chow Yung Fat = Legendary Action Hero. John Woo has also directed films such as: Mission Impossible 2 and Face/Off (films that most of you would have seen). You may have noticed white doves in those films... that's his trade mark as is using two handguns at once. A version of Hard Boiled is coming out as a game for the PS3, it's called "Stranglehold" as you ight already know.
I'm currently in the process of finding every film ever made by John Woo and every film with Chow Yung Fat in it
I have to wait for my sis to come out of hospital to see Die Hard 4.0 as she'd kill me if I seen it before her

yeh john woo is a great director and chow yun fat is really good at shooting people in slow motion. they rehershed alot of hard boiled in the film the killer, it was john woo's first real attempt to make an action film to rival western films like die hard
i was gonna see die hard this week but i havnt had the time, dosnt matter too much thouhgh itl be in the cimemas for weeks.
i dont know, crashing a car into a helicopter and flying a fighter plane down a freeway dosnt sound too unrealistic

I saw it yesterday...it was great
truely lived up to the legacy of the old films and it had a replacement for Samuel L Jackson's role but he wasnt that funny
still it was a good film the action was pretty good quality and fairly non-stop in places. But thats what you get whe you watch an action film. It was a good type of action like hard boiled...slightly beyond what is percieved as possible for trained people...but not too far beyond it to add some realism to its surealism if that makes any sense

I seen Die Hard 4 a few days ago. Very good film. I'd say it's the third best one of the four but it's Die Hard so its still better than most, if not all, films
I have yet to see more John Woo films. I search for them all the time when I go somewhere. I want to see more white doves and double handguns
