Guest Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I read this as “John Woo is BLACK” and I got really worried he was caught doing blackface or something 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 I initially read this as "John Yoo" and was extremely confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatoneshere Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 I can't believe it's been 20 years since John Woo's last American film (Paycheck with Ben Affleck) and it's been 15 years since Red Cliff: Parts 1+2 (everyone go watch that if you haven't seen it yet, make sure it's the "International" version, the 5-hour one). A dialogue-less action film from John Woo? Yes please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like I saw pretty much the entire movie, but it looked good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to see the full 5-hour Woo cut but when Red Cliff released theatrically in the United States way back when, the American distributor cut it down to 2.5 hours. It was a nonsensical movie that looked great in the theater but clearly you needed the full, proper cut. I then bought the bluray of the "international version" which came out in the US afterward, which is really just the proper release of Red Cliff as one movie in two parts and it is excellent. It is a high water mark for wuxia Chinese storytelling and is just a badass movie all around. Highly recommended. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just remember importing it from yesasia and having my buddy come over to watch it in 2 parts. I think we did the first half and didn’t finish the 2nd half until like 5 days later. The sets/ships and the amount of extras in that movie were eye popping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 It being dialogue-less might be a bit weird, but I can't say I'm not intrigued by the concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s weirder is that a movie came out on Hulu like 10 days ago with the same gimmick (although a very different type of movie). No One Will Save You - it’s good!

His last two Chinese films after Red Cliff weren't so hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
