Hard Boiled

Tequila goes undercover to try and break up a triad gun running operation. John Woo’s last Hong Kong movie is one of the best action movies ever made.

##Right from the beginning

This movie grabs you from the beginning and doesn’t let go.

##Did you notice…

Did you notice the tracking shot in the middle of the hospital sequence?
It lasts a good 3 minutes. For those of you that don’t know, a tracking
shot is an extended scene in which there’s no edits and no camera angle
changes. That is, the camera just runs the whole time until it’s done. As
you can probably imagine this is a very difficult technique. Every detail
must be planned out for the entire shot ahead of time. It’s difficult under
normal circumstance, but next to impossible in an action sequence. Think
about trying to get all of those explosions and squibs to go off at the
right time. Word has it that it took 45 days of set up and retakes to get
this shot done right!
