Who loves this film....???

its just such a great action tale with the funniest dialogue ever. John Woo has never leveled this and i don't think many recent movies have also. The level of detail in the gun stand offs is amazing....

2 minutes and 42 seconds of gun battle, done in ONE long tracking shot (or two spliced as one), I don't think any subsequent tracking shot has topped that.

I just moved and, as I was reorganizing my DVD collection, I came across my Criterion DVD of this.  10 years after seeing it for the first time and it's still great.

Though the baby pissing on Chow's leg to put out the fire is a bit much but it's still great.
