Classic John Woo in "not as great as you thought it was" shocker!

Nice review. The Thundercats caption made me laugh out loud, not once but twice (first at the sheer absurdity of it, then again when I worked it out)

IMO the film still ROCKS though. Chow's gambling den massacre is one of my all time favorite movie scenes. I remember the first time I saw a clip of it on Jonathon Ross' Incredibly Strange Film Show back in the late 80s... my jaw was on the floor.

Thanks for saving me $25, Dan. I've been anxious to pick this up along with other HKLegends titles when I upgrade my Region Free player, but I think I'll stick with my R1 Anchor Bay disc.

And yes, I love this movie with all my heart and guts, even the music ripped from Alan Parker's Birdy notwithstanding.

My first fanboy script in high school was a prequel showing how Mark and Ho first met up, and includes the piss-drinking scenario that Mark mentions at the club. I just love their camradarie in this flick.

Does this version also misspell Al Pacino's name as <strong>Albert Gino</strong> in the subtitles?

love the movie... thought you were a big harsh in some areas, but you nailed the problem with the music dead on. horrible music... sucky music... makes me laugh and entertains, though.

Ho Tse Sung: Do you believe there's a God?

Mark: Yes, I'm one, you're one. A god is someone who controls his destiny.
