Hard Boiled - Trailer - (1992) - HQ

Trailer for John Woo's film starring Chow Yun Fat, Tony Leung, Teresa Mo, Philip Chan, Philip Kwok, Anthony Wong Chau-Sang, Hoi-Shan Kwan, Wei Tung, Bowie Lam, Meng Lo, Bobbie Au-Yeung

[@BatFan1]

Marvel, please get THIS John Woo to direct a Punisher movie.

[@film79]

They will need that time machine from Endgame if they want THIS John Woo

[@justinbrutger9606]

Are John Woo's newer movies bad? What do you think the last good movie he produced was. I've only watched hard boiled and I really loved it and wanted more but now I'm not sure if this was just lightning in a bottle.

[@frederickswanson8637]

Justin Brutger he has plenty of good movies

[@TheHashBot]

John wick director and dp would be better... John Woo is past his prime.

[@efe_aydal]

Looks even better than the movies Woo directed in Hollywood.

[@griffinnunnelee7236]

[@mydadzkid1]

unlimited ammo unlimited possibilities fucking love this movie

[@vincecommando7575]

I don't know where to get the gun with the thousand round clip. But I desperately want one. Let me know if one comes your way lol.

[@jasonlui]

The gunplay in this film is something that has to be seen. Even when this film was released back in 1992, it was way ahead of it's time. In today's world this would still be a serious contender for one of the best action films of it's kind.

[@vincecommando7575]

Chow Yun-Fat is one of the greatest action stars ever. His style of acting keeps the audience engaged. These type of action movies are hard to come across nowadays. Hopefully, in the future there will be more directors who are nostalgic enough to give us new movies with high-grade action.

[@Dinvadbhatmarathi98]

Have you seen City on fire Reservoir Dogs copied if that movie and it stars chow Yun fat

[@TheBestComicKing]

In trailers, you don't need dialogue to get people interested. All you need is lots of explosions and gun fights to get people interested. Hey it works... Ok maybe not for Michael Bay, but it works with John Woo!!!

[@f-ckyougogledeckheads7962]

That's because unlike Bay, Woo has an imagination.

[@PuzzleProjectorBlog]

F-ckyou Gogledeckheads And Woo pays attention to the geography of a scene. In Bay's movies I'm always confused because there isn't enough effort on choreography.

[@PuzzleProjectorBlog]

They should have asked John Woo to direct a Transformers movie. It would have been awesome.

[@griffinnunnelee7236]

Who else agrees that this is the greatest action movie ever made? I mean, the shootout sequences in this movie are some of the best and well directed I have ever seen. A true masterpiece of a movie.

[@TheSkillRock]

Griffin Nunnelee You should check for "The Raid", the 1 is so brillant, the second is amazing 👌👍

This is a better Max Payne movie than tha actual Max Payne movie.

[@roybatty4710]

Maxwell25 Cause Max Payne is strictly based on John Woo visual flare. Duh...

[@PuzzleProjectorBlog]

Roy Batty They should have given the job to John Woo to direct a Max Payne movie. It would have been awesome. :D

[@kotowaza-sensei428]

Puzzle Projector I agree.

[@mechanoid2k]

Ironically, the sequel to Hard Boiled came in the form of a game that was considered to be a clone of the max payne games. It's called John Woo's Stranglehold and it's an amazing game with an awesome storyline.

[@sandansaiyan5675]

mechanoid2k but very underrated

[@Gilhfree]

I love this trailer. No talking. Just guns and more guns. We need more movies like this today!

[@Yapostadodat]

I think one of the reasons this film is so popular is because it relates the tale of "to destroy them, you must become them". It's the same motivation behind Clint Eastwood, John Wayne and countless other Western "heroes"; if they play dirty you play dirtier and bloodier.

[@coreyolm6825]

without a doubt the best trailer for a film ever made. what makes it so effective is that the actual film takes the hype and amplifies it by 100

[@zanfear]

No dialogue whatsoever!

[@vwboy2012]

It's simple. The best action movie ever... Hail John Woo and Chow Yun Fat!

[@johnconnor2402]

One of the greatest action films ever made. John Woo's signature is all over this.

[@iNz4N3N3rVeZ]

Best Action Flick Ever Made

[@SeanCC]

When I saw this film, sometime in 1993 or 1994 at an art house theater in LA it changed my whole expectation of what an action movie could be and should be, forever.

[@griffinnunnelee7236]

Amen to that

[@MrEnjoyBeats]

Seriously, it's not even funny anymore how Hollywood gunfights (except the 1995 Heat movie) are significantly inferior to the ones in Hard Boiled. Hard Boiled is such an amazing adrenaline-fueled action movie.

[@MrEnjoyBeats]

***** I don't know man, perhaps Hollywood directors are held back in their creativity by the major filmstudios?

[@TannerBartko]

MrEnjoyBeats Don't forget about Sam Peckinpah :)

[@Johnlindsey289]

+MrEnjoyBeats What about in Die Hard?

[@SamXNE_997]

+Johnlindsey289 Die Hard was from 1988 and remains a very solid film, although I find it hard to compare Hard Boiled and Die Hard because of how the action is presented.

[@bud389]

Look up "The Way of the Gun" There's plenty of good "Hollywood" action movies, they're mainly just not done by big studios anymore, with rare exception. Dredd is a good example.

[@zedzamorin1326]

Good old nineties when explosions were not CGI... and neither were the superheroes.

[@The_Husband_of_Jane_Lane]

Superheroes belongs to TV animation and comics in the 90s, and I'm glad they did.

[@kroakie4]

Precisely! I like both but there’s no substitute for the real deal.

[@QShaque]

Woo and Fat at their finest. One of the greatest action films of all time.

[@santos8468]

I love when a movie has so much going on that you can show a lot in the trailer without showing everything.

[@robertbenson2903]

The teahouse shootout is one of the coolest action sequences ever. It is a lot better than anything you saw in the Matrix or Face Off. I also loved the shootout at the hospital especially the part where Chow Yun Fat is carrying the baby around.

[@StevenSeagull123]

And that's just how the movie starts :O

[@CloutySkies]

We need more trailers like this. It shows audiences what to expect without all the misleading editing. Just action and characters.

[@Dean_Stanford]

One of the best action films ever made!

[@afflulifestyle1784]

If you were fortunate to watch this on the cinema at the time of release, I can honestly tell you "It was amazing". Up until this day, Hong Kong have always made the most creative, strange, exciting, unbelievable films of any era. The gun play films are unequalled. You only have to watch "The Killer". The martial arts catalogue is also massive, along with all the ghost/vampire type movies. Hong Kong has many many hidden treasures, you just have to make time for the journey because trust me, its deep. Old school Hong Kong movies for life.

[@nimazsheik5152]

I started this journey years back, still in it. Though I've covered all the major names!

[@trevorj3838]

Possible the greatest action movie ever made, Jon woo made a master piece

This was the one... After watching this film lots of times on vhs tape & then watching it during a HK film festival in nyc many years ago, it got me hooked on HK Cinema. I watched the Good, The Bad & The Ugly of HK Cinema for years. It rules. Thank you for posting this trailer.

[@ericrhodes5174]

The Killer is John Woo's masterpiece but Hard Boiled is probably his best film and the culmination of his signature "gun-fu" choreography. I also love A Better Tomorrow but the gun fights are very raw and unpolished in that film.

[@thechad7643]

Eric Rhodes I describe A Better Tomorrow as "a soap opera made for guys with some cool gunfights." The scene where chow yun fat speeds to the rescue on his boat and pulls out that rocket launcher never fails to get cheers.

[@sunnytaufiq07]

Agreed. The Killer is the best. Love the way cop n assassin team up.

This movie is on par with Die Hard, Terminator 2, The Killer, Lethal Weapon and other action film greats in my book, i saw this 20 years ago in middle school after hearing about it in the movie magazines, movie books, Siskel and Ebert and more and rent it with The Killer, i loved it and became a favorite of mine.
