Lol wtf. That's some crazy Gun fu shit

Should have had a third rope tied to his pinky toe for reloads

lorfw.bsky.social•2 days ago

Chow Yun Fat. Legend.

averysafecat.bsky.social•3 days ago

This is how my parents met, funnily enough (mom shot dad in the head)

jimmyjamnyc.bsky.social•3 days ago

I still have this on VCD

andyreese.bsky.social•3 days ago

Him running down the stairs in Hard Boiled is all time favorite of mine.

clintpup.bsky.social•3 days ago

Dirty Harry could never.

therunser.bsky.social•3 days ago

Ridonculous!

occupyelonsanus.bsky.social•3 days ago

You gotta watch Hard Boiled

burshu.bsky.social•3 days ago

I can’t even do that.

Spotted the guy who's never played yo yo with a shotgun before.

Proto gun fu

pianoonetrick.bsky.social•3 days ago

Action movies aren't creative anymore smh

beingsass.bsky.social•3 days ago

Lord, I don't know how you can not be panicking, but instead enjoying this stuff. Admirable.

natestevenson.bsky.social•3 days ago

Chow Yun-Fat is unmatched. His film Hard Boiled, directed by John Woo is top 5 all-time in the action thriller genre.

daease19.bsky.social•3 days ago

I first saw this move in Exit Wounds! This must've been where the got it from.

culturesurfer.bsky.social•3 days ago

'The Flying Shotgun', or something like that. Shotgun Kung Fu. 🤓

docbohn.bsky.social•3 days ago

"Shō-t-gun" is *right there*

dogsinautumn.bsky.social•3 days ago

This is set in the same universe as Equilibrium and this is the origin of gun kata

logicdictates.bsky.social•3 days ago

Whoever thought of this scene should write everything

noobsbt.bsky.social•3 days ago

gobsmacked.bsky.social•3 days ago

NEVER go up against a tooled up Chow Yun Fat

homunculusdick.bsky.social•3 days ago

I keep forgetting to finally watch this. Some of the non-woo chow yun fat stuff was really absurd and fun.

lechienvieux.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thank you!

nerditry.bsky.social•3 days ago

The white guy is giving me Gary Oldman in The Professional.

jmrichards3.bsky.social•3 days ago

Looks like a young Ben Mendelsohn but I can't tell for sure.

norbizness.bsky.social•3 days ago

The cops came when I tried this but I patiently explained to them that we're an open carry state and that I was presumed to be a member of the well-regulated militia.

pottersville.bsky.social•3 days ago

Sweaty White guy in a suit with slicked-back hair? Check.

amymormino.bsky.social•3 days ago

I dig the random white actors these films often have. I think some of the lower budget ones just recruited visiting English teachers.

bird-nerdco.bsky.social•3 days ago

I have actually thought the same thing

wendywootenmiller.bsky.social•3 days ago

Whoa!

goldwalken.bsky.social•3 days ago

I have a bootleg vhs of this and have been waiting for a proper bluray release for ages. However, the trailer is a little misleading. It's a lot goofier than it leads on, Chow Yun Fat is a bit of a doofus in it and at one point has a whiny crying fit and pees himself.

typorrhea.bsky.social•3 days ago

Sounds kinda similar to his role in God of Gamblers. He's played a surprising number of childlike doofuses.

goldwalken.bsky.social•3 days ago

I also just watched Witch From Nepal and The Seventh Curse. It's alarming to see Chow Yun Fat in khaki shorts and Hawaiian shirts.

vegaskat.bsky.social•3 days ago

I want Mythbusters to test that 😜

d4rksabre.bsky.social•3 days ago

Oh man, Gordon Liu is in it

i-sing-of-olaf.bsky.social•3 days ago

I was very nervous it was going to be them killing an actual tiger and your "sick" was literal!

mcon.bsky.social•3 days ago

Later in the same film there is a kung fu chainsaw duel

milothepsychic.starbase80.net•3 days ago

Sorry, there’s a WHAT?!

mcon.bsky.social•3 days ago

Search for "tiger on beat chainsaw fight" and there are clips of it online, which I am too dumb to be able to add to Bluesky

zoonie.bsky.social•3 days ago

Oh gods, that sounds far too 'hands over my eyes' to sit through. Also even the thought of it is making me feel a bit sick so I'll take your word for it. CYF is The Dude, though.

milothepsychic.starbase80.net•3 days ago

OMG. Well, looks like I’ve got Saturday afternoon plans now. Thank you @mcon.bsky.social and @withoutpause.bsky.social.

lechienvieux.bsky.social•3 days ago

I admire the skills that take jumping and landing with split legs, with a running chainsaw, while your guts are open…

mcon.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thank you!!

jwmcartist.bsky.social•3 days ago

I cannot wait for Shout Factory to release the Golden Princess film library on 4K. I've been wanting a good version of Killers and Hard Boiled for ages.

rntropy.bsky.social•3 days ago

Is this footage real?

thebarbegazi.bsky.social•3 days ago

Are YOU real?

carlhdesign.bsky.social•3 days ago

How rad - full on Chainsaw Duel in part 2!! Thanks for sharing this my day has been enhanced :)

lmhinh.bsky.social•3 days ago

👍 I grew up watching HK cinema. Chow Yun-fat is one of the best!

gyrozeppili.bsky.social•2 days ago

That white dude kinda looks like young Gavin Newsom.

theragingcelt.bsky.social•3 days ago

Hong Kong has been eating Hollywood's lunch for decades.

thrashinbatman.bsky.social•3 days ago

this movie is mostly kinda confusing and disappointing but the last 30 minutes, which this scene and the infamous Chainsaw Duel (which is my profile banner btw) are a part of, is insane and some of the best cinema has to offer

westhomasanderson.bsky.social•3 days ago

bird-nerdco.bsky.social•3 days ago

They just don’t make sound effects like they used to

wmaubrey.bsky.social•3 days ago

Feeling the need for violence?

howdini.bsky.social•3 days ago

SKILLZzzz

ronnpiano.bsky.social•3 days ago

The only other thing I would want to see there is a little robot, with a submachine gun and a Mel Blanc voiceover, talking shiz, running amok in there.
