"HARD TARGET" is WILD & Wilford Brimley is our HERO! // Manly Movie Monday

[@SeanTanktop]

Easily one of the most fun MMM we've ever fucking done! We give this John Woo masterpiece 5 OUT OF 5 BRIMLEYS on the Wilford Scale!!! Is there a Brimley Movie that eclipses this!? Hit us up on Patreon.com/SeanTanktop and watch this and 13 other FULL and UNCUT Manly Movie Mondays, along with tons of other stuff for $2

[@SimenFulland]

Dudes, you need to do John Woos last epic movie before he left Asia for the US. If you thought you had seen bad ass over the top shooting scenes, you haven't seen nothing until you have seen "Hard Boiled". Prepare to be amazed! www.imdb.com/title/tt0104684/

[@flickerman68]

That was hysterical. Thanks for that great reaction. You mentioned Face/Off but if you want to see the genesis of this type of action please react to The Killer and Hard-boiled both by John Woo both starting Chow Yun Fat

[@SeanTanktop]

Simen Fulland HB is probably Woo’s best native film by far! I’ve seen it, but Lex and Scott haven’t! We’ll put it on the list!

[@SimenFulland]

@@SeanTanktop That would be really cool! I'd love to see their faces during some of that bullet flying awsomeness he he:-)

[@MrSlantwise]

@@SeanTanktop That's funny. I was going to recommend Hard Boiled too! It is John Woo's masterpiece. We'll have to catch a flick next time I'm back in Chicago. I never knew you did these until I was checking out some vids after I moved to Maui. This is John Brown from the band Tombstone Eyes, btw. Love your vids bro!

Terminator 2.

[@CRITTERBUSTERS]

Hard Target is a masterpiece, the action is chaotic but no way disorienting. There aren't many films that are as uncompromisingly entertaining as Hard Target.

[@TheStoryhasbeensold]

John Woo is a fan of blues and jazz music...this is why many of his early films has that sound

[@vincecommando7575]

The look on Yancy Butler's face when Jean-Claude Van Damme grabs the snake is priceless. I will always love this movie. Lance Henricksen and Arnold Vosloo were also awesome as villains. Rest in peace to the late great Wilford Brimley.

[@vinnydaq13]

The pistol Hendrickson is using is a Thompson/Center Contender in .45-70 caliber. It’s a single shot pistol commonly chambered in rifle calibers.

[@CraigMcfly1985]

Great gun Vinny.

i never realised how much my old obsession with Arnold Vosloo stuck with me..until i recognized him from a 4 second blip of time without hesitation or error. you go, Imhotep; i'm still here for youuuuuu

Underrated, the action cannot be denied that it's awesome. John Woo rules! Hard Boiled would be great for y'all to watch!

[@SeanTanktop]

We’re def gonna do it

[@alucard624]

The woman at the beginning is Yancy Butler who played Sara Pezzini in the TNT adaptation of Witchblade back in the day. She also played McLovin's mom in Kick Ass 1 and 2 where she gets fried in the tanning booth at the beginning of 2. She's also unfortunately had many issues with alcoholism and it's the main reason why Witchblade was cancelled after 2 seasons.

[@CraigMcfly1985]

Yep.

[@DeliriumBand950]

“It’s called edging!” 😂

[@VacuumJockey]

Wilford is also a stone crazy badass in Carpenter's The Thing. But Hard Target may well be the pinnacle of his multi-storied career!

[@SeanTanktop]

We did a reaction to the Thing! Check the channel!!!

[@gamleskalle1]

john woo rules,the killer and hard boiled some of the best gunplay in movie history.

[@austinwillcut4919]

It's looks to me you guys were watching the uncut international version, the movie was severely cut down by the MPAA when it was first released with an R. We didn't get this uncut version until the US blu ray was released and a lot of the violence you saw was not in the R rated cut that appeared in US theaters, cable, VHS, and DVD. The workprints are the most complete and uncut versions to own but you can only attain those through bootlegs right at the moment but this version is pretty damn close to the workprint version and how John Woo envisioned it.

[@CraigMcfly1985]

I do remember the international version aired on US tv in 05 on Telemundo.

[@suncore598]

One of those action films that's best to enjoy with your mind turned off.

[@worthalook4870]

Classic Van Damme - love it

[@pvthitch]

There are rattlesnakes all over the South. Wherever it is warm enough. Brimley is a life-long horseman. Owns a working ranch.

[@Mugthraka]

Well when Cameron was auditioning for the Terminator Part for The Terminator movie, Lance Henriksen was about to get the part, but Cameron then chose Arnold for it. So i'll think Lance did some physical training for the part. Then when Cameron did ALiens and needed someone to make the Bishop part he thought about Lance for it, since he din't get to be the Terminator he could still be an Android in a Cameron movie.

[@Jim.G]

Sorry for late comment, just found this channel: amazing! Manly Movie Mondays is such a great idea. Some of John Woo's Hong Kong action flicks are a must. Have you guys seen "Jean Claude Van Johnson"? It's a mini-series on Amazon Prime starring JCVD, playing himself, in a comedy send-up of himself and all his best movies. You have to see it! The premise of the series is that JCVD really can do all the stuff he does in the movies, and his job as an action star was always just a front for his real job as a secret agent doing missions around the world. Now he's retired, and you can guess what happens next...

[@kraven4444]

10:09 if JCVD is traveling at 30mph on the bike and the bike and the truck collide, he would still fly forward at the same 30 mph. Instead he floats over the truck and lands. so basically the truck hits the bike while it's barely moving. But it's not about the physics anyway.

I saw this in the UK before the official release as one of my friends was in film marketing. We all LOVED John Woo and his Hong Kong action movies so we were eager to see this. I had not been that disappointed since I had seen Teenwolf. The motorbike standing then jump over the 4x4 before shooting it to blow it up nearly broke me and I was ready to walk out of the cinema. The only good thing I got from this is the fact that I never paid any money to see it! If you want to see great John Woo content for Manly Mondays can I suggest one of three films: A Better Tomorrow Part Two The Killer Hardboiled (the end scene in hospital is just 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥)
