Hard Boiled - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Hard Boiled (Chinese: 辣手神探; Hanyu Pinyin: Làshǒu shéntàn; literally: Hot-Handed God of Cops) is a 1992 action film by director John Woo. Hard Boiled has a famous action shot in the burning hospital near the end of the movie. John Woo is currently collaborating on a spin-off to Hard Boiled, in the console game Stranglehold, which features the character of Tequila. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Hard_Boiled   (455 words)

Hard Boiled Hopefully, the true essence of Woo is not Hard Boiled, which is a one dimensional primer in the art of screen pyrotechnics delivered in a non-stop explosive assault on the senses. The lack of emphasis on character is the chief weakness of Hard Boiled and leaves the two actors subordinate to the technique that dominates the film.

[KFCC] Hard Boiled Review Review: It is almost impossible to review Hard Boiled and at the same time avoid the bottomless anus-bowl of cliches that surround it. I could write an entire review solely on Hard Boiled’s theme music if there wasn’t someone to stop me and if people would actually be able to sit through it. I’m sure it’s been described as “a high octane thrill ride”, and even on the box it says Hard Boiled is “an action fan’s dream”. www.kfccinema.com /reviews/action/hardboiled/hardboiled.html   (1036 words)

The Criterion Collection: Hard Boiled That Hard Boiled would be action director John Woo’s last film made in Hong Kong before his emigration to the U.S. in 1992 resonates throughout the picture. With their barely intersecting fates, Tequila and Tony know each other too little and too late for total bonding, and as passionate friendship is the way to redemption in a Woo film, the ending of Hard Boiled brings the bitter knowledge that there may finally be peace for his characters, but there is no redemption. So is realizing the difference between Hong Kong’s surface, an intensely law-abiding city where gun ownership is strictly prohibited, and its underworld, where fortunes are said to be made in arms sales, and where the gangster Triads infiltrate every industry, including the film industry, allegedly in league with powerful cities in mainland China. www.criterionco.com /asp/release.asp?id=9&eid=51§ion=essay   (232 words)

Hong Kong Cinema - Hard Boiled (1992) - John Woo and Chow Yun Fat Hard Boiled, is arguably John Woo's best-known pre-Hollywood work and the same can be said for the film's lead, Chow Yun Fat. This is largely due to John Woo deciding to retain his talents after his work on Once a Thief in 1991 (which incidentally took HK $14,000,000 more than Hard Boiled, but does not enjoy anywhere near the same recognition). At this budget price with new audio options, Hard Boiled will be opened up to the wider market and I suspect prove a very successful purchase for Prism. www.hkcinema.co.uk /Reviews/hardboiled.html   (1336 words)

Topspins.net - Hard Boiled Hard Boiled looks like it was made for a decent amount of money, with a proper "filmic" sheen and loads of large scale action set pieces. Worthy of the benefit of the doubt, Hard Boiled is an exciting film that with proper presentation and pricepoint would be a worthy buy for carnage fans, but this release is a waste of money. Indeed, Hard Boiled presents the line between excitement and tedium as a thin one and its excesses may well bore rather than captivate. www.topspins.net /hardboiled.html   (445 words)

Hard Boiled - Frank Miller, Geof Darrow - Graphic novel review Hard Boiled has a post-Blade Runner human-like robots and consciousness plot, which might not be the most original of tales but is treated with maximum style and panache by Miller's sparing pen. This leaves Darrow to fill the gaps with his stunning artwork, filled with minute detail that'll have you poring over each frame, watching the individual pieces fly off crashing cars and disintegrating robots. There are some writer and artist teams that seem perfect together. www.grovel.org.uk /reviews/hardbo01/hardbo01.htm   (221 words)

Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Hard Boiled at Epinions.com The real reason to see Hard Boiled is for the three main action sequences. Hard-Boiled is the last movie John Woo made before coming over to America to continue his directing efforts. He has since made such hits as Hard Target, Face/Off, and Mission: Impossible II, but he also is responsible for such misfires as Windtalkers and Paycheck. www.epinions.com /content_179588075140   (780 words)

Amazon.co.uk: Hard Boiled [1993]: DVD Hard Boiled is one of the greatest action films I have ever had the pleasure of seeing - it just pips Woo's other masterpiece "The Killer" to the title of best HK Heroic Bloodshed movie. Released in 1992, Hard Boiled is John Woo's farewell to the kind of blood-spattered cinema of vengeance and redemption with which he had made his name as a director in Hong Kong during the late 1980s. Hard Boiled was John Woo's final Hong Kong film before he jumped ship and started making mediocre Hollywood films. www.amazon.co.uk /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005A3PE   (733 words)

Hard Boiled Eggs The idea is to get the eggs cooked enough so that the yolks are fully hard and the shells come off, but not so hard as to get a green ring between the yolks and the whites (it is safe to eat). Note: I used to be allergic to vinegar but had no problems boiling my eggs with it; it doesn't seep through. I don't boil the water first or cover the pot (you can cover if the stove doesn't get very hot). www.consultclarity.com /recipes/hardboiledeggs.html   (316 words)

RecipeSource: The Perfect Hard Boiled Egg Transfer the eggs (6 at a time only) to the boiling water, bring to the boil again, and let boil for 10 seconds - this expands the shell from the egg. There is not the faintest darkening of yolk where the white encircles it (a chemical reaction caused by too much heat in the cooking process). Set over high heat and bring just to the boil; remove from heat, cover the pan, and let sit exactly 17 minutes. www.recipesource.com /main-dishes/eggs/01/rec0137.html   (316 words)

Peelable Hard-Boiled Eggs And you will have perfectly hard boiled eggs (which will also be remarkably easy to peel -- THAT is the secret to easy egg-peeling, immediately rinsing the cooked eggs with the very coldest water you can). Firstly, it's MOST important that after the hard-boiled eggs have finished boiling, that they be immediately rinsed in and then left to soak in very, VERY cold water -- the colder the better, icy is best. My co-worker is looking for something to get her dad for a retirement gift and she thought it was such a great idea. www.dvo.com /newsletter/monthly/2004/august/door.html   (324 words)

Hard Boiled Holmes It’s hard to believe how much malice and mayhem there was in the place. Jim Thompson’s gritty looks at American life didn’t usually feature detectives, and it’s often hard to find a code of honor when you can’t even locate a sympathetic person in the cast of characters. Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple seemed to find more crime in the village of St. Mary Meade then existed in the entirety of London. www.holmesonscreen.com /HardBoiledHolmes.htm   (1760 words)

HARD-BOILED It's hard for an American audience to imagine these exhilarating scenes, which are both brutal and melodramatic, without seeing them. At the same time, there's a real horror to some of the violence, even though we're meant to revel in the pyrotechnics of it all. Good will triumph in the end, but a lot of good and innocent people are getting splattered across the wall in the process. www.deep-focus.com /flicker/hardboil.html   (646 words)

Hard Boiled (1992) What makes Hard Boiled a genre-defining film is the sheer insanity and theatrical showmanship that the filmmakers bring to the table.

BBC - h2g2 - Hard Boiled Slang It may seem a bit crude and overly dramatic, but hard boiled fiction was trying to capture the true gritty nature of crime in the big cities. There are a few other colourful phrases that can pop up in hard boiled slang. Remember, a lot of this language comes from a different time, when America was suffering through its Great Depression, fighting rising crime, enforcing Prohibition, and becoming a melting pot for immigrants from many different nations and languages. www.bbc.co.uk /dna/h2g2/A563898   (1553 words)

Hard Boiled Fiction Daly's tale is one of the landmarks of pulp writing: an important look at a social evil, and one of the very first hard boiled tales as well, with one of the earliest tough guy heroes, a model for much later pulp fiction. This might be "hard-boiled", but it is really hard to take. The characterizations and atmospheric detail with which pulp stories are so rich help expand their plots to novella length, while the need to sustain a single atmosphere, and the lack of a strong classical plot tended to make the tales hard to sustain to book dimensions. members.aol.com /mg4273/hardboil.htm   (12147 words)

Amazon.ca: Hard-Boiled [IMPORT]: DVD At the same time, "Hard Boiled" manages to ratchet up the violence even further from its "sister" film, resulting in the most prolonged and intense action scenes I've ever witnessed, all filmed in Woo's signature frenetic style. A stunning feast of hyperbolic action sequences (including a climactic sequence in an entire hospital taken hostage), Hard Boiled is a rare treat for fans of the action genre, with sequences as thrilling and intense as any ever committed to film. On the whole, "Hard Boiled" is definitely an engaging experience that's more than worth the money I shelled out for it. www.amazon.ca /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004W458   (1001 words)
