John

some CSI chick will tell us the full story about these little friends

John Woo is a movie director from Southern China. He grew up in Hong Kong where he started his movie career. I got to know this guy because he is a favorite of Quentin Tarantino and I am a fan of Quentin (friends meet friends).

Super-Violence and Super-Story-Telling are the only two keywords that you need. "A Better Tomorrow" (ying hung boon sik) from 1986 is an award winning classic. It comes with some of the best Asian blam-blam-blam gangster action scenes.

John's "Bullet in the Head" (die xue jie tou) from 1990 gave him the international reputation that he deserved and the Hollywood exposure. It's definitely an Asian action/gangster/war movie but it also has a story about keeping/winning/loosing friends in the Vietnamese war. Yes, John McCain's story crossed my mind.

Some critic wrote;
Best friends Ben, Frank and Paul have known each other for 10 years, and they promise that no matter what, they will always stick together. The story begins in 1967 Hong Kong, and from the opening scenes, we figure that these guys aren't your clean-cut individuals. A brawl with a rival gang shows their toughness and attitude. When Ben and his girlfriend Jane get married, Frank gets overzealous with the gang on his way to the wedding, and finds himself cut up and bleeding at the ceremony. Frank and Paul get revenge, and when the gang leader is killed, the police search for the suspects. Frank and Paul drag the hesitant Ben with them, forcing him to depart from his new wife after only one day of marital bliss. The three have to get out of Hong Kong, and their ticket is to become smugglers to get a free ride to Saigon, which is embroiled in the Vietnam War at that time. The men meet up with partner Luke, and together they plan a double-cross to get a box of gold from gangster Mr. Leong. Saigon just isn't the place to be. With demonstrations, mad bombers, protestors and American soldiers around every corner, Ben and his buddies have difficulty getting around the country. Their new surroundings prove to be overwhelming, and after a particularly unlucky streak of events, their loyalty is put to the test like they could have never imagined.

The "Killing Of The Yankies" scene is [WARNING] heavy stuff and very much the [3:20min./50MB.] climax of the movie;

The full 126:18min. .avi comes in 14x100MB. parts
