Is John Woo kino?

>>86828852
Can a person be kino?

>>86829044
Yes if he makes kino

>>86828852
Yes, stuff like what John Woo and Jackie Chan did make all the action in Hollywood movies today look like baby stuff.

Even his American stuff wasn't too bad till he made paycheck, that was the fall till he came back to china

>>86829175
He pretty much reinvented the action genre with zero budget outside of Hollywood.

It helped that late 80s/early 90s china was really aesthetic.

>>86829365
Is that blade runner?

>>86829365

>>86829461

>>86829574

Dude dual wielding lmao

>>86828852
no

>>86829175
Why does everyone have the stereotype be Jackie Chan holding a baby when it's actually Chow yun fat most of the time

>>86829927
I remember movie where Jackie chan hold baby aswell

>>86829975
It's maybe just a thing of all Hong Kong films involve action heroes and babies

>>86829842
Just because the British owned it doesn't mean it's not China

He made pretty legit action films

The Killer
Hard Boiled
Bullet in the Head

Peak Woo

Tell me /tv/, why even live?

chow yun fat didn't fall for the white name meme

JOHN FAT

>>86828852
nah pleb tier shit

>>86830904
It would've been Jonny Chow wouldn't it?

The thing that's good about his films is that they don't just turn into a tacticool assault rifle fuck around. It's all pistols, all the time, which is much more fun.

>>86830865
People go on about Tokyo being the cyberpunk city but as far as I can tell Hong Kong fits the bill more.

>>86830847
The Killer has more substance than Hard Boiled

The last shootout is fucking poetic kino but it's probably impossible to top the end of Hard Boiled

>>86830847
The Killer is more story based
Bullet in the Head is just flat out crazy

Aural kino

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ra3emjiAM5g

the killer is badass
watch hardboiled 1 & 2

>>86830150
It wasn't China.

>>86828852
Speaking of: I wonder why there were not threads about Woos return to heroic bloodshed, the movie "Manhunt". I mean, the guy is single handly responsible for the whole action cinema aesthetics in the nineties until early 2000s and he directed after 24 years a new one.

Action kino

>>86830150
I know what you trying to say, they are a part of the chinese culture and are basically next to china, so yeah, culturally there were indeed more China than UK, but UK was the rightful owner.

>>86831881
A movie based on the manhunt game?

Why do people act John Wick is amazing when the killer did it thirty years ago

>>86831161
Bullet in the Head I think my favorite of those 3 but I love them all

>>86831997
They're much more westernised than china though. They're chinks with freedom.

>>86832204
No, Woo does a remake of a Japanese movie from the 70s, the first non Chinese movie shown in cinema after the UK bought Hong Kong. One of Woos favorite actors starred in that and he died last year, so Woo decided to make that movie to honor him.

>>86832674
Sounds interesting, but I can't imagine it's very good.

>>86832896
The Trailer looks like shit, but that doesn't say anything, it's cut like an 90s trailer, watch the one from Hard Boiled to get an idea what I mean.

>>86828852
not much. i only liked God of Gamblers and The Killer. rest are meh

>>86828852
Literally woo?

Hard-Boiled is a genuinely amazing movie. Nothing special story wise but it's seeing a Director at the top of his game. My three favorite action movies are....

Police Story
Hard-Boiled
The Raid

!!!FACT!!!

>>86833991
The raid is absolute dogshit. Literally fell asleep 15 minutes in the first time, 20 minutes in the second time.
