"Party Hard"
Posts: 1,202
After witnessing the marvels of Face/Off, M:I-2 and The Killer, I'm in need of some more John Woo action-fests.

Recommendations please (John Woo films only, obviously).

Oh, and what's that Hard Boiled thing like?

Ta.

Face/Off good, Rock better, M:I-2 better still. And before anyone starts this whole it's-not-believable angle, I don't care. They're still enjoyable.

And as for this Bond thing:

Connery
Brosnan
Dalton
Moore
Lazenby

Best Bond film: Goldeneye

Windtalkers sucked to an extent not perviously known. I think I've covered everything.

Get your stinky James Bond talk out of here.

I'm probably one of the very few people alive to day who don't really like James Bond films, some of them are okayish but for the most part I just don't find them entertaining.

Goldeneye was good, Live and Let Die was good too....that's about me done then.

I got it when the videos were in a 2 for 1 offer.

And the song playing when Necros blows up the place is 'Where Has Everybody Gone' by The Pretenders.

Barry's experimentation with Electronic drum machines and synths on that soundtrack makes it excellent. It absoluely makes the whole Gibraltar jeep sequence at the beginning, I think that's my favourite beginning to any Bond film.

yeah, forgot about view to a kill, that's a quality one.

made me cringe when they feed that guy into that underwater propeller, and that end sequence is pure class

Criminal Mastermind? Check
Island with secrets? Check
Secret Agent as the main character? Check
Bizarre 'game of death' being played out? Check
Posh English guy sending Agent on mission? Check
Cheating bad guy? Check

yeah, and that music he has pumping out at the time is quality.

unfortunately I don't own the Bond collection. I have wanted to purchase it on many occasions but have not yet got round to it.
