John Woo martial arts DVD
Are you looking for the perfect John Woo martial arts DVD? Well, it'll be hard to pick which one to call perfect, but you can find a list of DVDs from director John Woo online.
Sometimes, you just want a movie with some action, know what I mean? With John Woo, you know that you're going to get it. Face/Off was his third American film, and it was one of his best. His first was Hard Target, about Chance Boudreaux, a Cajun merchant seaman who saves Natasha Binder from a bunch of thugs in New Orleans. He agrees to help her search for her father, and they're off in search of the homeless Vietnam vet. If you don't know the rest of the movie, then you should watch it-it's got all the action that Woo is known for.
Broken Arrow, Woo's second American film, was about Vic Deakins, an Air Force pilot on a routine night flight mission with co-pilot Riley Hale. Deakins turns out as a traitor, crash-landing the Stealth Bomber in the desert to steal two nuclear warheads to sell to terrorists. Hale survives the crash, and he meets a young park ranger who helps him to keep Deakins from getting what he wants. There's plenty of action-including a nuclear device going off underground. Sure, there are inconsistencies, but it's not hard to see why John Woo is one of Hong Kong's directors.
Face/Off, his third American film, was about FBI agent Sean Archer. In the beginning, he's out with his son at a carnival of some kind when the leader of a criminal network, Castor Troy, pulls the trigger of fate with the gun pointed at Archer's back. The bullet misses the FBI agent's heart by half-an-inch and unfortunately hits the boy, killing him.
Through the rest of the movie, he's out on this hunt for revenge, and he ends up taking on the face of the captured Castor Troy in order to stop a bomb from killing millions. The procedure used to get his body to look like Troy's was experimental science practiced only by one known team of doctors (all of whom were killed when Troy unexpectedly woke from his coma and demanded that he be turned into Sean Archer), so when the doctors ended up getting killed, he knew that he was going to be stuck as Castor Troy forever.
It's action-packed, it's unbelievably action-packed...check out John Woo, because your DVD collection just isn't complete without some John Woo martial arts DVDs.
