Hardboiled, John Woo Is The Man

[Spitfire]

So the other day I traded in a ton of old CDs to Streetlight Records and they told me 40 bucks or 60 store credit. Since the place sold DVDs I figured take the 60 and find some movies I wanted.

I got Re-animator*Funny ass movie* and I was looking for some John Woo movies I had seen awhile ago. The Killer and Hardboiled, both I remember being totally bad ass. Well to my surprise Hardboiled was just re-released on DVD that day so I picked it up.

If they made movies like that still I'd be buying alot more movie tickets. The story is generic, the acting is terrible, but the action scenes are so well done that you can't help but be entertained by them. And I watched it dubbed so in between the action scenes I can laugh at the terrible voice acting and horrid dialog.

After that I was on a bit of a high and I went to look for The Killer. It's out of print and the DVD goes for like 50 bucks on some websites. I found a region free one on Ebay for 10 that's actually extended.

My roomie found a clip on youtube of these two guys fighting with Chainsaws from this movie called "Tiger On The Beat" and I also found a region free copy of that on Ebay for 10 bucks. I've never seen it but chainsaw battles are a good way to win me over.

So while I'm looking for over the top action movies to fulfill my needs for utter chaos does anyone else know any other good ones? I was going to check out Ichi The Killer but I wasn't sure.
