john Woo’s last and greatest Hong Kong action film, Hard Boiled is best known for its over-the-top shoot-outs, Chow Yun-Fat weilding two pistols and leaping about in slow motion, and a body count in the hundreds – and Mad Dog‘s often right in the thick of it – even with the use of only one eye later on. A man of few words but lots of bullets, he’s a constant thorn in the side of Tequila (Yun-Fat), and later battles with undercover cop Tony Leung in a seemingly endless hospital shoot-out. And what henchman list would be complete without an example of one standing up to their sadistic boss when they go too far? Noble and moral their last-ditch protest may be, but it never ends well, does it?
