Guest Morgoth Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 How is the action in this movie? Shootouts? Hand to hand? The cast looks good, but it is a Wong Jing movie so i don't know if I should get it. Is it watchable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest goliamoto Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 It's a non stop action movie. There are shootouts, fights, car chasings, violence againts innocent people , some comedy too by Eric Tsang...It's a very enjoyable movie. I would rate it with a 7 out of 10.

Lol, that about sums it up. Though I'd only give it maybe 5 or 6 out of 10. If all you want really is mindless gun action check it out.

Guest Morgoth Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 thanks for the info. A 7/10 and a 5 or 6/10, sounds good for a Wong Jing movie. I love mindless action, escpecially when its nonstop. I will be sure to post on here after I see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Karlos Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 This flick was quite controversial in the UK back when it came out, as it was tagged as "Hard Boiled 2"! It's a fun film, completely over the top, and full of violence - enjoyable, but calling HB2!! come on!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Markgway Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Eastern Heroes retitled the film Hard Boiled 2 for commerical reasons, natch. It has lots of guns and a finale set in a hospital, but otherwise zero connection whatsoever. In fact it was actually made a year or two BEFORE Hard-Boiled, lol. If you've ever wanted to see Alan Tam as a tough guy this is your chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chilly bong Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I love this movie. As already mentioned once it gets going it's pretty much non stop. Not much in the way of hand-to-hand (a few seconds here and there) but the shoot outs are well done and the body count is high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dragonherb Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Didn't like this movie. Mainly because it's so sloppy in structure but I wasn't really digging the action-scenes either. I'm putting it to my trade-list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Joseph_Kuby Posted October 1, 2010 Member Share Posted October 1, 2010 I rate it 8/10. Had it been more on the serious side, like something by Ringo Lam or John Woo, it would have been better. The story lends itself to the sort of dilemmas Woo likes his characters to go through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Chu Liu Hsiang Posted July 13, 2021 Member Share Posted July 13, 2021 Really enjoyed it. Mabe it would be even better if someone else had played Alan Tam's part. At first sight I did not recognize beardless Beardy I just thought he looked so familiar Love this kind of "breathless" movie. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
