    This is a retrospective of the films of john woo, who introduced the world to the Heroic Bloodshed genre of Hong Kong action movies. john woo was born in 1946 in Mainland China, the son of Christian parents theater to watch Western cinema, which inspired the young john woo to be a filmmaker

    Extractions: John Woo was born in 1946 in Mainland China, the son of Christian parents. At the age of five, his family moved to Hong Kong to escape the Cultural Revolution, where they struggled for a number of years, having to live in the streets for a short period of time. In those days, his mother would take him to the theater to watch Western cinema, which inspired the young John Woo to be a film-maker. After leaving high school, he hooked up a group of students who shared a passion for film. They would screen European arthouse films, discuss what they had seen, and eventually, they began to make their own films. In 1969, Woo got his first big break as a script supervisor in Cathay Studios. He followed that up in 1971 with a move up to assistant director in the famous Shaw Studios, where he was mentored by Chang Cheh, who taught him the art of filming action and the importance of editing. His directorial debut came in 1973 with "The Young Dragons", a kung-fu actioner that featured two elements of what would later become the John Woo style: the dynamic fluid camera work and the elaborately choreographed action sequences (choreographed by the future Jackie Chan). On the strength of this first effort, Woo moved onto Golden Harvest where he started off with martial arts films and a filmed Chinese opera, but then became a comedy director with the success of "The Pilferer's Progress", a comedy that starred Hong Kong comedian Ricky Hui. However, by the mid-1980s, Woo was running out of steam. His latest films were duds in the box office and it looked as though he was a has-been. It was at this time that he sought funding for a pet project, "A Better Tomorrow", which caught the attention of producer/director Tsui Hark (who came to Hollywood earlier this year for "

22. John Woo:King Of Gunfire-The Replacement Killers
    A john woo fan's review of the movie. With pictures and personal comments.  
    http://members.tripod.com/~FabKid/TRK.html
    
    Extractions: Three years after his last film, Peace Hotel Hong Kong superstar Chow Yun Fat returns to the big-screen with his Hollywood debut, The Replacement Killers .Director John Woo serves as executive producer to the film simply because he doesn't want American audiences think that Yun Fat has to rely on him to make a good movie despite the fact that he enjoys working with Yun Fat. Antoine Fuqua whose only other directorial credits includes Coolio's Gangsta Paradise video also made his directorial film debut with The Replacement Killers. Storyline Like The Killer Chow Yun Fat once again portray a professional killer, John Lee. John Lee is a noble man who is forced into doing dirty deeds for underworld crime boss, Mr Weng because his family's fate lays on his hands. John accepts the first two assignments to assassinate some underworld thugs. Soon, John Lee receives his last job which is to assassinate a policeman's son. After failing to do his last hit, John Lee goes on a run and hopes to get to his family in China before Mr.Weng's men can reach them. In need of a legal passport, he soon met up with Meg Coburn, a document forger played by Mira Sorvino. Meg Coburn gets caught between John Lee and Mr.Weng's men and the two ends up as partners. Review "There's never action just for action's sake in a John Woo film". Newcomer director Antoine Fuqua broke John Woo's simple rule to film-making and the results is a rather disappointing action movie. I personally feel that this movie might have been far better under the hands of John Woo but at least he did lend his talents into action sequences (action scenes were send to Woo who was busy working on

    Extractions: "Kit (Leslie Cheung) is an up-and coming cop. His brother Ho (Ti Lung) is a street-hardened criminal. And when the city's most ruthless crime syndicate launches a billion-dollar counterfeiting scheme, they're both caught up in a savage underworld battle that takes no prisoners...and shows no mercy! But after promising his brother he'll go straight, Ho learns that quitting the syndicate carries a murderous price. Against a backdrop of deadly mob treachery, Ho and Kit are propelled headlong towards a deadly confrontation that pits brother against brother in a no-holds-barred underworld war that explodes to a pulse-pounding climax!" "Although the flamboyant gangster, Mark, played by Chow Yun-Fat, was killed at the end of Part I, Chow returns as Mark's twin brother Ken in Part II. Ken joins forces with an idealistic cop named Kit (Leslie Cheung) and his now-reformed gangster brother (Ti Lung) to battle against another legion of evil criminals." "Explosive, bold and mind-blowing, The Killer is a pulse stopping action sensation more bullet-ridden than any other movie in history.Jeffrey (Chow Yun-Fat) is The Killer, the ultimate hitman, hired by the mob for one last job. Lee (Danny Lee) is the relentless cop, a maverick whose mission is to stop The Killer at any cost. The two enemies form a strange and powerful bond that blurs the line between good and evil. When Jeffrey is double-crossed by the mob in a blazing shoot-out, Lee finally picks up The Killer's trail in a church while Jeffrey's beautiful mistress (Sally Yeh) is caught in the crossfire. An arsenal of automatic weapons flare in a bloody date with destiny."

31. JOHN WOO: L'azione... è Arte
    Filmografia completa e commenti critici sui vari lavori cinematografici del regista cinese.  
    http://www.1aait.com/larovere/woojohns.htm
    
    Extractions: Idolatrato ad Hong Kong e in tutta quella zona asiatica, ha milioni di fans in tutto il mondo. Il suo cinema corre su ritmi forsennati e tecnicamente perfetti; ammirato da autori del calibro di Martin Scorsese Walter Hill Spike Lee Sam Raimi e Quentin Tarantino "Face/Off" "l'esteta della violenza", il suo credo è "sparatorie, inseguimenti e duelli". Gli attori sono felicissimi di lavorare per lui, Nicholas Cage lo definisce "uno stilista dell'immagine, un regista carismatico, capace di trasportare la violenza talmente al di là della realtà, da farla diventare una poesia viscerale". Lo stesso cineasta sostiene: "Io adoro i film di Sergio Leone e amo il suo stile. Lo considero, insieme a Sam Peckinpah e Martin Scorsese come uno dei miei maestri. Mi piace molto come Leone muoveva la macchina da presa, come inquadrava il taglio degli occhi, l'uso del grandangolo e la forte caratterizzazione buona o cattiva che dava ai suoi personaggi" e questa citazione, rende perfettamente la sua cinematografia.

    Extractions: di John Woo Dall'ennesimo romanzo di Philp K.Dick, l'ultima fatica di John Woo è in realtà un film emzzo suo, visto che è subentrato alla regia a giochi fatti. Ben Affleck se la cava piuttosto bene ma soprattutto John Woo dimostra ancora una volta di saper fare film altamente spettacolari e ritmati.

    Commento critico della pellicola diretta da john woo a cura di Roberto Donati.  
    http://www.centraldocinema.it/Recensioni/Apr03/bullet_in_the_head.htm
    
    Extractions: (Die xue jie tou / Bullet in the head / A bullet in the head) HK 1990 di John Woo (Yusen Wu, a volte accreditato come Ng Yu Sum o Ng Yu Chen) con Tony Leung (Chiu Wai), Jackie Cheung (Hok Yau), Waise Lee (Chi Hung), Simon Yam (Tat Wah), Yolinda Yan (Cho Sin), Fennie Yuen (Kit Ying). ° Nella Hong Kong del 1967, tre amici cercano di accaparrarsi un carico d’oro ma, per sfuggire alla polizia e alla mafia, scappano in Vietnam e gli orrori della guerra avranno la meglio: l’eroe di ritorno immolerà l’amico e si vendicherà del traditore. Canto funebre in nome dell’amicizia e del senso dell’onore, Bullet in the head è l’occasione per Woo (che lo arricchisce di elementi autobiografici, come la figura del padre spazzino: il suo in più aborriva il cinema) di omaggiare il suo cinema prediletto, quello americano e quello di Leone: la struttura è quasi identica a quella del Cacciatore (con tanto di matrimonio iniziale e roulette russa), le sparatorie coreografiche sono più disperate e impregnate di malumori e la scena lungo il fiume viene dritta da Apocalypse now . La critica occidentale si è lasciata incantare da una messinscena ridondante, ligia alle regole cavalleresche e piena di sparatorie coreografiche (qui meno del solito, in ogni caso), e gli ha tributato la nomea di capolavoro: certo, il finale amaro - con monologo amletico con un teschio, il quale spiega il titolo (quello cinese significa letteralmente "spargimento di sangue nelle strade") - e alcune soluzioni (di sceneggiatura e di regia) possono a ben diritto lasciare a bocca aperta, ma l’estetismo violento e
