I've have never wanted a shotgun more in my life, especially with explosive rounds!


Hooker - 2011-10-17

Holy shit! The second person he killed was Mike Abbott, who is by far the most hilarious terrible actor ever.

I guess I should finally watch the A Better Tomorrow movies, if that's where that's from.

These scenes are from:

A Better Tomorrow
A Better Tomorrow II
Bulllet in the Head
The Killer
Hard Boiled


Riskbreaker - 2011-10-17

And yes, the shootout in the apartments is from ABTII

The first ABT is mostly lots of Hong Kong cinema-style morose weeping and tracking shots of people looking sad. It's very John Woo, but not the ass-kicking John Woo.

ABT2 on the other hand is batshit insane as all fucking get out and comes up with a ridiculously stupid excuse to get Chow Yun Fat back as a star.

Bullet in the Head is great..it's a Hong Kong version of The Deer Hunter basically.

Killer and Hard Boiled are pretty much the peak of John Woo's Hong Kong work, I think.
But if you like those films, I suggest tracking down some of Ringo Lam's stuff, which is very John Woo-esque. (Full Contact with Chow Yun Fat is on Netflix streaming right now)



Hooker - 2011-10-17

Yeah, I've seen (and love) Hard-Boiled, The Killer, and Lam's City on Fire. I got half way through the first A Better Tomorrow, but it didn't really grab me.

Another good Chow Yun Fat gun fight posing as a movie is Flaming Brothers. Lots of shotgun to the face action.

The origin of video game shotgun. Which is not as lethal but pellet spray is similar.


pineapplejuicer - 2011-10-17

didn't watch the video, not gonna, fiving the term "wooniverse"


zerobackup - 2011-10-18

In these films, the shotguns actually shoot tiny clusters of rockets.


John Holmes Motherfucker - 2013-02-11

As balls-out awesome as this is, minus one star for going with "the Nutcracker", instead of The 1812 Overture.

Fuckin hipsters, always have to be ironic!
