Hard Boiled

25th Anniversary!

(1992) dir John Woo w/Chow Yun-Fat, Tony Leung, Teresa Mo [128 min; 35mm]
John Woo’s definitive over-the-top buddy action film features Chow as supercop “Tequila” who teams up with an undercover officer (Leung) to take down a ruthless crime lord (Wong). The final showdown – set in a hospital with the patients and doctors held hostage – is simply put, one of the best action sequences ever filmed.
