Pictures?
This page used to have captures from the movie. What happened to them?
- Hello,
- We lost every edit that had been made after December 21st of last year. I am the person who uploaded all of the screen captures from the movie (using my extremely crappy-quality Mandarin DVD, unfortunately). Of course, I do have them on my hard drive still and I have been meaning to edit this page and re-do all the work I had done previously. I've just been extremely busy and haven't had the time or patience to sit down and get it done (please remember I had almost 30 guns and several screencaps for each). But I will do so as soon as my schedule gets a little less hectic.

Nice job, man, seriously...nobody else on here has the same "can-do" attitude you do. That should be your slogan or something..."no job too big, no film with too many guns!"
We should probably use the discussion page now to figure out the guns. I still don't know about the .38 revolvers...Taurus M85 seems likely, but I'm not positive. Also, I'm still not sure about that mystery semi-auto pistol in the arsenal. A Walther P88 is possible, but it also has characteristics of the JAWS Viper and Star Megastar.
BTW, it's funny to me that all of these foreign action films made in countries with gun laws far stricter than the U.S. have a weapons variety that puts any American action movie to shame. IMDB says that there were 200 guns used in this film, mostly real ones, and that they fired 100,000 blanks during production.
Mystery pistol
Doesn't look like a Walther P88. It's most likely a Star 28M or 30M...

- Yes, that's it! The 30M, most likely. Nice looking out.
A Pole
I just saw the whole movie, so I thought I'd take up a pole.
Who thinks this is the best (or atleast one of the best) action films ever made?
- It's good but not the best-76.31.5.208 02:03, 26 June 2009 (UTC) (S&Wshooter)
Street Sweeper
[moved from main page] --AdAstra2009 21:08, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, I'm starting to think it's probably an original Armsel Striker and not an American-made Street Sweeper. The barrel is the biggest clue (the Street Sweeper had an 18" barrel so it would be legal to sell in the U.S., which is visibly much longer). Also, the picture below supposedly illustrating a Street Sweeper actually shows the Protecta, which is an improved version of the Striker that didn't have the winder on the drum.
- Actually the street sweeper was available with a short barrel (and registered as a short Shotgun) within the U.S. Only the 18" barreled version was commercially available in regular gun stores to the general public, that is until the Clinton Ban. But being that this movie is a Hong Kong Movie, they would have the Armsel. Why import a U.S. Clone of an existing weapon that's sold internationally?MoviePropMaster2008 08:25, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
Happy endings or Sad endings
Why none of John Woo's American movies ended with the hero murdered by the villian and then the villian is killed by his friend like in A Better Tomorrow and The Killer?
most Chinese movies I seen have sad endings. but I did like the ending of hard boiled because you don't know if he is sailing away to a new life or sailing away to the afterlife. but eather way it is kind of the same thing
