Chow Yun-Fat in Hard Boiled (1992)

Review by Fella_shibby

Hard Boiled

7/10

It has more gun shootings, explosions, non stop bullets blazing than most war films but also has a ridiculous baby peeing n wire holding jump scene.

I first saw this in the mid 90s on a vhs. Revisited it recently. I am not generous with an 8 inspite of the film an all out action fiesta cos of the absurd baby peeing scene n the lame wire holding jump scene. It was John Woo's last Hong Kong film before his transition to Hollywood n the film is filled with massive amount of gun shootings, people flying/jumping, bullets blazing non stop, the slo mo, etc. Dont worry, the lack of pigeon n birds flying is substituted by a pigeon painting. It has guys wearing silly n ill fitted suits n blazers n we have Mad Dog, an honorable, deadly, one eyed fighter. The villain's lair/vault for hiding arms n ammunitions is very innovative but at the same time a big wtf.

Its impossible to hold a rope/wire in one arm n jump from top. U dont get a proper grip n chances of shoulder dislocation n rotator tear.

The baby peeing scene is copied by a Bollywood film Shapath (1997), a very lousy film.
