A look at Hard Target. For (im)mature audiences only. Please note all reviews are very tongue in cheek and not serious, which alot of people seem to overlook.
Looks like a fun movie. I say we need to take tips from Japan and start using practical effects again. Don't get me wrong, CGI is nice, too, but its overused.
Mad Dog also uses a T/C Contender, most likely in .223 Remington in Hard Boiled (also directed by John Woo). In Metal Gear Solid 4, the main villain, Liquid Ocelot, also uses .45-70 a single-shot pistol, albeit it's a Tanfoglio Raptor (Tanfoglio Thor in-game) with a red dot sight instead of his classical Colt Single Action Army revolvers.
Correct, it's known as the EAA Witness in USA. Tanfoglio also makes clones of the CZ-75 in 9mm, .40, .45 and 10mm. I handled one in .45 ACP that I saw in a gunshop, and it has a awesome grip. The CZ-75 must be the same. Tanfoglio also makes parts for the israeli IMI/IWI Jericho 941 pistols (aka Baby Eagle). Interestingly, the Thor is made with 1911 pattern frames. I just loved pwning enemies in the head with it in MGS4. Someone should add a single-shot, large caliber pistol for a STALKER mod
Childhood memories here I used to love this film as a kidbut not so much now though I thing I can say is it's still fun to watch now and then great review good to hear from u again.
I love this film but they ruined the final kill. Puting a grenade into the pants of Lance would have been the greatest death ever. But he actually disarms it. And waits. And does not throw the pieces away! Lance died just because he was stupid and not because of the awesomeness of Van Damme! THere is a german cut-version of the film which sucks because its cut. However, at least they restored the coolness of the kill, because Lance explodes right after the Grenade was put into his pants.
well this isn't that shitty but for the most part the shitty quality of some of these films does make me feel a little bit sick, and no i have not seen street trash but that sounds shiity....yes?
pretty much the most ridiculous movie ever well no not that but it's the most ridiculous Van Damme movie ever in that is saying something. Just really nothing you can do with this one
It's strange but am i the only one who feels a little bit sick when watching cheap shitty movie shows like john and the cinema snob or phelous....shitty, movies they are literly sickning!
Diabetes sounds like it is pretty funny to you. Well, I have had diabetes for twenty-seven years. And I also have an associated condition that is called "diabetes distress". What is that, I hear you ask? Simply put, it is a psychological problem where one feels continuously mocked, deprived of proper services for other health complaints, and deprived of the ability to have conversations with others that do not feature diabetes as a main subject. On a scale of one to ten, ten being wanting to rip someone's head off every time the subject is mentioned, my diabetes distress is a nineteen. People have quit private medical services in my country because of the way I educate them on how much Pepsi Max you have to drink to equal a slice of bread in complex carbohydrate consumption. (It is not even physically possible to ingest 18.75 litres of liquid in the time it takes to eat a slice of bread, so do not try it, boys and girls.) I get that your reviews are supposed to be tongue in cheek and not serious. But expecting people to find constant threats that one day their legs will be cut off if they do not pant like a dog to please a doctor (and much, much more besides) funny is like expecting people to find rape funny. If it were Humanly possible to give people diabetes, I would be doing so. Because ignorance is only bliss for ignorant people.
+MR Mason One, when I was diagnosed with diabetes I was playing baseball and running so hard that I could eat at McDonald's as many as five times a week and be what people call lean. At the World Expo of 1988, I threw baseballs at the speed metre with a score of more than 45 km/h, beating out boys with at least four years and adolescent muscular development as advantage over me. Granted, that was twenty-eight years ago and I have become a lot more sedentary since for reasons you do not deserve to have explained to you, but you are already opening up a can of Wrong Like You Have Invested Your Life In Enron upon yourself. Two, if I could strap you to a table and edit your DNA on the fly so that a new autoimmune disorder causes you to grow cancers faster than surgeons can physically chop them out, I would be all over that shit like me riding a bicycle off a rooftop sixteen years ago. You are elegant proof that evolution has failed the Human race by not making being so ignorant and stupid more painful than having every cancer at once. Were it up to me, I would segregate people as stupid and ignorant as you into your own little world where nature can just take its course, and relish the knowledge of your imminent extinction.
You ought to calm down. Getting this angry over a 'tongue in cheek' review from 2012 is pathetic. Grow up and stop whining like a child by threatening people the way you have.
Horses are safer to ride cos they don't blow up as quick when they're shot at.

Freaking best Van Damme flick, used to go crazy when this was on TV, cuz I knew I was in for some great action!
To me, Van Damme's best film is Bloodsport
sudden death for me

0:49 Holy Shit! It's Chains from Stone Cold!!! aka. Bishop from Aliens!!!!!!
does woo use the exact same 3 doves in every movie? what are they, like 40 years old now? they just dont fly in slow mo like they used to...

I cant stop listening to the song at 4:30
@Anacondas101 So did Bill Paxton excluding VAN DAMME
Was Wilford Brimley's super mario getup intentional?
I'm Van Damne song is great-can't get out of my mind!
Van Damme, still in "babe" years, and the great Lance Henrikson in one movie!! LOVED this flick!
Van Damme with a mullet!
That's some points right there for your review, John.
Wait... is Van Damme wearing Jhery Curl?
Hey, wasn't that the Mummy dude around 2:30?
Childhood memories here I used to love this film as a kidbut not so much now though I thing I can say is it's still fun to watch now and then great review good to hear from u again.
Hey question, after all these years...:> You running out of old videos?
I love this film and I so glad you reviewed it. You should do more Van Damme flicks like Kickboxer, Bloodsport and Sudden Death.
Christ almighty, that snake trap was probably the most unbelievable load of horseshit I've ever seen. Damn you, Van Damme!
still remember as I was a few year old kid that watched it from a corner of a TV room. so sneaky that my parents didn't see me :)
Definitely looks entertaining, looks better then Street Fighter:The Movie. I'll probably catch it on Encore Action sometime. Good episode John.
I'm meeting Lance Henricksen next week - he's at the Milton Keynes Collectormania, gonna be awesome!
Damn that is one powerful mullet. It rivals that of Billy Ray Cyrus's back in the day.
BTW, Nat is played by Yanci Buttler who is now probably a bigger alcoholic than Charlie Sheen!
This is a great film and one of Van Damme's best. Lance Hendrikson and Yancy Butler are solid as well.
There was a 1 in 1,000,000 chance of the snake trap working, but it did. Because he's Van Damme.
A Gift to Van Damme from the old man haha
That was both a very enjoyable review and a great song. However, I loved the movie Sudden Death. That is my favorite Van Damme film.
after watching this film, I couldn't another John Woo film, until Red Cliff....
Loved the destroyathon at the end :)
He's in the first Terminator movie. One of the cops who gets shot.
The Mummy played the second Darkman (the only time I've seen Arnold Vosloo play a good guy)
I am from the other side. I prefer his reviews of action-films.
Maybe he should keep a balance to please all audiences:-)
Surviving the Game is an awesome movie similar to this. It has Busey and Ice T so you know it's good.
Yes. The last movie I saw her in was Kick-Ass.
i couldn't buy this movie from the start because van damme is unbelievable as a cajun.he just doesn't have the southern grit.
The uncle is dressed like super mario
Lance Henrikesen has been killed by Alien,Predator, Terminator and of course VAN DAMME
Hell yeah, it's Van Damme! Just check out that mullet, badass!
Probably one of my favorite jcvd movies
I love this film but they ruined the final kill. Puting a grenade into the pants of Lance would have been the greatest death ever. But he actually disarms it. And waits. And does not throw the pieces away!
Lance died just because he was stupid and not because of the awesomeness of Van Damme!
THere is a german cut-version of the film which sucks because its cut. However, at least they restored the coolness of the kill, because Lance explodes right after the Grenade was put into his pants.
John Woo=Sparks in the middle of forest.
Is that a wet look mullet? That's a crime
at 2:30 he has an earing in his right ear, but the rest its in his left :/
"PIG"....hahahahaha that guy never gets old
Lance Henriksen: "He's an annoying little Fucking insect and I want him stepped on....Hard." LOL
Lance was a lot of funny fun to watch in this over the top movie. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.
Van Damme and his femme, did they go bam, bam bam?
great video...i love how you kicked it into a stream lmao.
damn never knew blair was the dia-bee-tus guy
Excellent song and review!
LOVe the super action reviews! more MORE!
One of the best action movies ever IMO
awsome review as always. i like this movie a lot, its surely one of my favorite van damme movies.
well this isn't that shitty but for the most part the shitty quality of some of these films does make me feel a little bit sick, and no i have not seen street trash but that sounds shiity....yes?
Zack Snyder will direct the remake since Hollywood is just remaking everything now.
"PPPig" :D lol

I'm goin' on a maaan hunt.
