John Woos HARD-BOILED (1992) - Weird Wednesday

For many, *HARD-BOILED* is arguably the best action movie of all time. One thing is certain: for nearly 35 years, this newly restored cult classic has not only captivated fans of the legendary Hong Kong cinema of the ’80s and ’90s, but also served as John Woo’s ticket to Hollywood.

Chow Yun-Fat (CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON, CITY ON FIRE, A BETTER TOMORROW) and Andy Leung (IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE, HERO, CHUNGKING EXPRESS, INFERNAL AFFAIRS) take on Hong Kong’s underworld, reducing half the city to rubble and ashes in action scenes staged with unparalleled virtuosity. The rest is (film) history.
