Nada vs Frank in the alley in "They Live"
Best one-on-one bare knuckle street brawl ever flimed.

Bah, I thought they were cool.

D00d they were cool.

She summersaults off of some D00ds shoulders and splits another D00d in half right down the middle from the momentum.

I was giggling like a mental patient through that entire fight.

I was pretty spoiled by the shoot-outs in Hard Boiled and The Killer to really appreciate any shoot out after those especially John Woo's American efforts. Face off for me was a big disappointment in the action dept, but surprisingly Nic Cage's performance is the best part of that movie for me.


I had a co-worker who loved Face-Off until he saw Hard Boiled and The Killer. After that he told me "yeah, I totally see what you were talking about. DAMN." I mean Hard Boiled had an opening shootout (The Teahouse - Tequila. Two guns. A Stair rail.) that would have been the climactic shootout in any other film but as good as it was (and it's AWESOME) it's probably the 3rd best Action sequence in the movie (After the entire hospital bit and the attack on the warehouse).

Even the lobby scene in the Matrix has NOTHING on the level of blazing gunplay in those two HK classics.

I've seen Hard Boiled, and while I enjoyed it I thought it became somewhat repetitive, especially in the hospital scene. After a certain amount of time all i saw anymore was an endless supply of mook bodies hitting the floor in rapid succession. Face/Off didn't get boring like that for me.
