Not since De Niro and Scorsese has there been a better pairing than John Woo and Chow Yun Fat.

The Killer has some fantastic over-the-top dramatic moments. I love the Mexican stand-off Between Chow Yun Fat and Danny Lee in the blind girl's apartment.


And I think the opening action scene in Hard Boiled is one of my favorites ever captured on film. Set in a tea house with birds in cages, innocents being killed left and right, the amazining banister slide, culminating with Chow covered in flour spitting out his matchstick and blasting the gangster in the head for killing his partner - wow!
