Bullet in the Head

Anyone in the St. Louis area up for a Woo film festival?

Wait and see what the quality is like, first. A lot of those Hong Kong pirate disks (that's what those are) are copies to DVD from VCDs, which are VHS quality. Or they're just VCDs, period.

John Woo - Basically the guy who reinvented Hong Kong cinema, and the modern action film as we know it. Gave Chow Yun Fat his big break, and in the US directed flicks like Mission Impossible (II I think...), and FaceOff.
 
Trust me - git thee to your local Blockbuster.
