| | The Films of John Woo and the Art of Heroic Bloodshed by Anthony Leong from MediaCircus.net |
 | | 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. | | | 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). | | | Woo was one of Chang's protégés, and along with the other three charges of Chang (Wu Ma and Danny Lee), they came up with this mediocre crime drama that dealt with a younger generation of gangsters dealing with the death of their revered 'Big Boss'. |

| | With Paramount Studios offering him significantly more freedom this time around, Woo set out to craft a complex story of two enemies— a law enforcement agent played by John Travolta and a terrorist played by Nicolas Cage —who embark on a fantastical surgical procedure that allows them to switch faces. | | | Unfortunately, Woo once again found himself hampered by studio interference and editors who did not share his sense of aesthetics and filming style. | | | Quentin Tarantino has been quoted in reply to a studio executive who said "I suppose Woo can direct action scenes" as saying "Sure, and Michelangelo can paint ceilings!" When Jean-Claude Van Damme was trying to get Woo for Hard Target he described him as "the Martin Scorcese of Asia". |

| | Will Hong Kong grande dame Michelle Yeoh appear in a John Woo musical? | | | While there have been various reports on John Woo's upcoming projects ("Rainbow Six" among them, at least according to Variety) during the past weeks, this latest is a discouragement. | | | John Woo and action star Jackie Chan will be among celebrities who contribute their handprints to Hong Kong's Avenue of Stars, due to open later this month. |

| | Yuen Woo Ping keeps the tone light, and (for once) presents a historical Kung Fu film that does not have a revenge motive or high body count. | | | Yuen Woo Ping avoids depicting Yasuaki Kurata as a villain, and as a result the climatic fight achieves a more realistic tone. | | | Yuen Woo Ping ensures that the human elements do not get lost in the dizzying blur of motion. |

| | cityonfire.com Tiger Cage |
| | Yuen Woo-Ping obviously takes a page from John Woo but clearly departs from Woo's style by not using slow motion and allowing the characters to leave the confines of the warehouse the bust starts in. | | | It has plenty of martial arts action but it's set during modern times, not ancient China; and while Woo-Ping has tackled the cops and robbers genre before with the "In the Line of Duty" series, none of those films relied on shoot-outs as much as "Tiger Cage" or were as pressingly dark. | | | This is a dark crime thriller with quality acting as it's strength and is something of a surprise coming from Yuen Woo Ping. |

| | John Woo:King of Gunfire-Hard Target |
| | Worse still, edgy Universal Studios was keeping John Woo at a tight leash, forcing him to stick with the agreed storyboard,a disaster for the man who was known for on-set improvisation. | | | Raimi who happens to be a big John Woo fan was happy to work alongside with John Woo and even backed Woo up when a sceptic producer expressed his worry about letting Woo handle a big Hollywood film. | | | Finally, Hard Target is one film which director John Woo has certainly not wasted his time on, as it's the "muscles from Brussels" best picture to date and a career achievement for the director being the first Asian director to direct a Hollywood action picture. |

| | ONCE A THIEF - TV VERSION DVD Review by Dennis A. Amith |
| | The original "Once a Thief" was a movie starring Chow-Yun Fat back in 1991 directed by John Woo. | | | Of course, I recommend the 1991 version but those of us who watched this on television were hardcore John Woo fans, curious John Woo spectators or someone who had nothing to watch that night. | | | It was a wonderful movie and at the time "Face Off" and John Woo's name started to become popular in the US (not just among HK movie buffs), the TV networks wanted a John Woo movie they can show on television. |
