One of the greatest my personal favorite best action John Woo-Van-Damme action style movie! (by ivo-cobra8) |
Hard Target 1993 is one of the greatest and the best action packed movie in a John Woo-Van-Damme Style! Of all Van Damme movies this one of his, is the best of Van Damme ever and I absolutely love it to death. Like the title says Don't hunt what you can't kill. It is my John Woo's number 1 personal favorite action flick of all time, that I love to death. It is also one one of my personal favorite action films of all time. "Don't hunt what you can't kill."The thrill of the hunt. It's the ultimate drug, and the more intense the rush, the higher the price. <more> |
Up there with Die Hard a true action classic (by richalexh) |
John Woo's first u.s film is a hugely underrated hugely enjoyable action thriller beautiflly shot and bursting with style this is certainly Van Damme's best film and in my books is at the top of the action genre. It's a sort of updating of 1930's thriller The Most Dangerous Game. It centres around a women searching for her father in New Orleans who enlists the help of tough cajun chance boudreux i don't wanna say any more about the plot cos i don't wanna give to much away.this is the part of Van Damme's career when his acting wasn't too bad, the rest of the <more> |
A very tight, well made film. (by keefy) |
Many people say that this film could be marked down as a cobweb in John Woo's closet. It is far from this, but only if you see the full uncencored version, which is available in the UK for people who own PAL video machines. I think that this is John Woo's best American made work. Better than Face / Off, which was well filmed but lacked the Woo stylised violence to keep your interest up. But Hard Target has plenty. Certain people believe that the end gunfight in the Mardi Gras graveyard is among Woo's best visually. The flurry of quick bloody violence is overwhelmingly adrenaline <more> |
Hilarious stuff (by Corky1984) |
Hard Target is undoubtedly Van Damme's best film. In terms of laughs few movies come close. Some scenes are just so unbelievable that you have to rewind them to check they weren't kidding, you then discover that they were! The scene in which Van Damme stands up on a moving motorbike and starts shooting at a truck before jumping over it and watching it explode, must win the prize for best comedy moment of the film. A highly unrealistic snake is also witnessed later in the film. The line of the film comes when badguy Lance Henrikson shouts out 'You are a f££££g buffalo' at <more> |

One of Van Damme's best (by DunnDeeDaGreat) |
Hard Target is clealry of the best movies Van Damme ever made. Van Damme movies where he picked up a gun were never that good but here with the cinematography and stylish vison of John Woo, Van Damme gives a good performance still has a chance for a few karate scenes and makes one of the best action movies of the nineties. Lance Henikrsen whose always good and Arnold Vosloo make great bad guys. Yancy Butler is sexy as hell even though a T&A scene would have been good. If you 've never seen this film check it out it's one of Van Damme best and Woo's first Amercian film. |
Call It What You Will, But It IS Entertaining! (by ccthemovieman-1) |
Many people see "Jean-Claude Van Damme" in the lead and think this another stupid, no-brainer action flick and guess what? It is! BUT, it is also a very entertaining film, kind of ripoff of the old "Most Dangerous Game" storyline....and, if you can suspend belief for 90-100 minutes, you'll be vastly entertained....and that's the name of the game, folks.Some of the action scenes are outrageous and big-time "Rambo" mentality, meaning an entire arsenal that could wipe out a small country is used against our hero and never seems to kill him! People are being <more> |
Its a Sam Raimi film all right! (by Animus) |
Ok I watched this movie because I wanted a mindless fighting flick and it was , but I had to buy a copy when I realized it was a John Woo / Sam Raimi movie. John Woo always does good action and Sam Raimi is one of my favorite Director/Producers and his fingerprints are all over this film, with touches like cameos by Ted Raimi the Raimi-mobile. If you like Raimi films watch it. |
John Woo and Van Damme make a pretty good team (by JohnnyPHreak) |
Right here and now I'll say this is Van Damme best movie and he picked the right director for it. It an action adventure about a team of killers are who paid to hunt by rich people. The movie is not action filled as the video box may tell you. But it does have enough to make your mouth water. If you know John Woo than you know that his films spread out the action and put space of acting between them. The acting is not top notch but it is believable. But what makes this movie is the action sequences. They have remnants of Woo's other movies like Broken Arrow, Hard Boiled, The Killer <more> |
