John Woo's Trademarks

[@xLeeroycranex]

Goddamn music.... 2007. Oh, that's why.

[@Prowbar]

Better than 'Let the bodies hit the floor' :) Oldschool youtube this shit

[@LargeBlueCircle]

Woo: "Any when ya die, for heaven's sake, don't just fall over! I want you to leap into the air, triple axle, backflip." Stuntdude: "... ok..." Woo: "Off the roof." Stuntdude: .... Woo: "On fire."

[@bittertea]

6:45 doves. That is why I came here.

[@georgesriid4399]

+Bitter Tea also hahahhah

[@Incipient87]

+Bitter Tea me too!

[@KubatheChangeling]

NC: "But we need something more poetically hardcore for this climax. What do you say we set those doves on fire?"

[@viktorwong9069]

John Woo’s three magic weapons: double pistols, slow motion, pigeons.

[@viktorwong9069]

and with infinite ammo, lol.

[@cjs19kilo]

I was a bout to say "Where the hell are the dove?" And then there were doves, and I was +1 satisfied. +1 for the music, I've had that track since it came out on itunes.

[@EDISON001R]

John Woo the best action director in filmmake history. Respect. Awesome video... AMEN :)

[@garp90]

In my university a teacher of history of cinema used your video to explain John Woo's trademarks :)

[@RyanLBrown9396]

6:45 The reason we're all here

[@pradyuminater]

we want john woo and chow yun fat to come together and bless us with another kick ass movie....

[@fritzwalter6418]

loyalty, honor, bikes, children, catholic religion, use of hospitals, referencing the directors in his movies scorsese leone kubrick melville cheh. This man is so fascinating

[@SonOfJustice]

Only thing i can say is AWESOME! I really liked it, nice cuts, music fits (thank god u used the instrumental), scenes pretty well chosen

[@eugene680]

John Woo should have direct the Max Payne film and be given creative control as well. Think how badass the movie would have been.

[@invincibleironman3]

Great tribute to John Woo.

[@framds4802]

As soon as I saw moviemaker and that song knew i was in the old youtube.

[@kpfingaz]

Nice work. I was wondering when you were going to mention the doves. Makes sense to end it with that. Whenever you see doves in a John Woo film thats when the shooting is about to begin.

[@codename617]

you can see John Woo trademarks pop up through a lot of Indian action movies as well. The Two guns, the doves, the slo mo. The Mission Impossible references. In 1, 2 Ka 4 the plane scene at the end is taken from Face/Off.

[@individualify]

I've always felt as though the doves portray a certain sensuality that is lacking in other films. Doves for me have always created a feeling of arousal within. I think it may be there feathers. Either way I feel as though Woo understands this feeling and portrays it beautifully in his films. If your looking for a movie with a style similar to Woo check out Kuffs (1992) starring Christian Slater. It has a run-time of 102 minutes.

[@kyushujet]

I'm here because of Daniel Tosh. Thank you Daniel. I get your joke and now I can relate. =)

[@BooneLuleyo]

John Woo is the man !

[@kpfingaz]

My favorite movie ever.

[@scylla019]

Also, enemies who run in and don’t shoot

[@Kinos141]

:40 loves shooting the shit out of the stomach, like "Imma fuck up your digestion, first!!"

[@angelofmoon]

It's really funny, how I was looking for these trademarks in Red Cliff. He tried really hard to put them in there. Double Guns turns into Double Swords and Doves make an appearance as 'Messengers.'

[@johnwayne5365]

Just goes to show you, being realistic isn't always better

[@victorrain]

And to think his favorite film is WIZARD OF OZ.

[@johnwayne5365]

2 John woo movies not listed in the description: Broken Arrow (1996) and Paycheck (2003). You’re welcome.

[@hexagonalawareness3584]

Thanks

[@khampoutonenorarmard9497]

Can anyone tell me the theme song?

[@OptimisticCynic715]

Was looking for "hollow bird cages"?

[@omnicowdemon]

Eeni meeni moni mie. You came for the doves. And so did I.

[@MALHEIGHTS]

Maybe you guys can help me out, I’m trying to find the Name of an Asian movie from the 80s or 90s. I don’t know if it’s a John woo movie. I have very little detail and I remember only 2 scenes. One of them being where the main character pulls up to a park to have a gun battle with a man having a picnic with his family. The main character waits a couple hours until man is finish eating with his family. The man sends his family home and then him and the main character begins the gun fight. The next scene I remember is the final scene, the main character walks into a sort of sandy area where he begins a gun fight with over 50 shooters, he manages to kill most of them but the main character gets killed in the end.

[@MilcAndCookies]

This song!

[@tetech12]

Play the track: Motorcade from the film Hard Boiled while watching this video.

[@FriendlyArchpriest]

[@scylla019]

Nope it’s A Better Tomorrow 2

[@Mrjohnhicks1]

[@lonel99]

[@hexagonalawareness3584]

You can do anything

[@clutchmc22]

[@mikophilo348]

[@leeloo1967]

[@Jackmaundrell6]

Go outside and let out a stream of curses to some dude on the street - that will be a real adrenaline rush...

[@天野譲-k1c]

What music is BGM?

[@Analog-to-digital-cotinual]

[@janantoni3]

*Sound System Dreamscape*

[@nightmuffin937]

Its missing the "Man Saving Woman from Danger" trademark

[@khampoutonenorarmard9497]

The first music theme

[@Joeblak81]

So basically The Crow

[@santacruzDiego]

A Better Tomorrow's restaurant 1 vs a gang shoot out

[@DarkAioL1666]

WTF the music and edditing :(

[@Devilsblood]

I saw the final shootout and it was spectacular!! I don't know about the story but to be fair a better tomorrow part 2 did not at all have a good story just a great action scene.

[@NazriB]

I heard that John Woo's name came from the words "Japanese Women".

[@eastern2western]

Also trench coats

[@Rambo4President]

LOL Woo = more than God Chow = God xD

[@varietychairsnake]

A lot of these trademarks could be linked to most films ever made.

[@Rambo4President]

John Woo? God. Chow Yun-Fat? God. Video? God. 5/5

[@blainesjustchillin3509]

Good action movies I guess, but all too heavily fantasized, way over the top everytime

[@pisadora007]

John Woo movie: Slow Motion, Slide up,down, left,right onto something, double gun play, bird's flying in slow motion, from the ground up,cheesy poses. By the way this song suck's! Every youtube video features this song. Go jump off a cliff sheeps!! HAHHAHAH open your eye's people! No pun intended. Seriously, it was cool the first time in the 90's, now,it just suck's!
