The John Woo Story, his rise and fall from grace, always brings a tear to my eye. Bullet in the Head and The Killer are so… ugh Paycheck just swam into my head, ruined that thought. Who knew the thing to ruin a Philip K. Dick movie was John Woo, and vice versa?

First off, there is only one WWE wrestler in the film and he has a minor but important role. WWE was very hands off during the filming. Ryuhei called all of the shots with help from the D.P. (Daniel Pearl). This will definitely become a cult classic and hopefully will bring more attention to it’s stars. I’ve worked on over 20 films so far and this was the most fun by far.

That movie was HORRIBLE. They only reason I was able to enjoy it when I threw a movie day at my house was I was already partially drunk. Versus was at best a mediocre film school movie.

Especially when the next movies watched that day were Kung Fu Hustle and Battle Royale.

Jean Francois Richet comes to the US and gets Assault on Precinct 13, goes back to France and makes a masterpiece (Mesrine). John Woo makes the most inspirational action films throughout the 80s in China and then comes to the US to do Broken Arrow, Paycheck, and Mission Impossible 2. I enjoyed Midnight Meat Train for it’s moody and Hitchcock inspired approach to the story, but it was flawed…Kitamura made Versus and Azumi, two of Japans most fun action films…we need to start treating directors from other countries better…Not everyone has connections like Del toro and Cuaron. These guys want to break into the mainstream with something worthwhile, why be remembered for making tripe?
