Hard Boiled (1992) Directed by John Woo

Playboy Fu! Dim-sum Fu! Canary Fu! Two-gun-slide-down-the-bannister Fu! Teapot Fu! The-complete-works-of-Shakespeare Fu! Origami Fu!

Presidential motorcade: except gangsters and dirt bikes! 

Sub-machinegun Fu! Grenade-through-the-skylight Fu! Mexican-standoff Fu! Emergency-room Fu! Back-to-the-emergency-room Fu! Neonatal-Full-Monte Fu!

Maybe the most bizarre MacGyver in Hong Kong cinema!

You lack morals!

The police are playing tricks: Cut the mains!

Can you lower your voice? You’re scaring the babies! Pow!!!

Thompson-Contender Fu! Bazooka Fu! Morgue Fu! Cadaver Fu! Rolling-gurney Fu! Mexican-standoff-again Fu! Too-many-Foos-to-name Fu!

The world is a joke!

SWAT teams assigned to infant care by the hot chick just when they were having fun!

Anyone know the per capita ammunition consumption for Hong Kong?  Are shootouts a cinematic equivalent to car chases? What would The General have looked like if Buster Keaton made it one long shootout? John Wick?  Hard Boiled?   

John Woo’s masterpiece. Chow Tony Leung gets to do things. Chow Yun Fat!  More Hong Kong action heroes should be named Tequila!
