Viewing Notes
Far from Woo’s best film but a lot of hallmark stuff is here pointing to greater things in the future. And it’s still a lot of fun to watch.
I also watched the short documentary comparing the Korean workprint cut and the actually released Golden Harvest cut two years later and the differences are striking.
