Eight Epic John Woo Fight Scenes

I once wrote a post that now sits on the right side of the site in our hall of fame. It’s called The 10 Best Movies Gunfights of All Time. As time went on, it was pointed out to me that somehow I managed to not include a single John Woo movie in the list.

Well, I just watched The Killer for the first time today, and I now realized that this was a serious mistake. As an apology to Mr. Woo, I have drafted an entire post dedicated to his awesomely orchestrated fight scenes.  Most of them are gun related, a few of them are fisticuffs and all of them are incredibly badass.

Check them out below:

  1. You need to watch “Bullet in the Head” !!! This is the real masterpiece of John Woo. Bizarelly, it is really underated compared to “The Killer” or “Hard Boiled”.
