Promotional Poster
Hardcore Henry (also known simply as Hardcore outside the US) is a 2016 science fiction action film, completely shot from a first-person perspective. It was directed by Ilya Naishuller , the lead singer of the Russian indie rock band Biting Elbows. Naishuller previously directed two music videos for his band's songs "The Stampede" (2011) and "Bad Motherfucker" (2013), which were also shot from a first-person view and led to the concept of the film Hardcore Henry .
The following weapons were used in the film Hardcore Henry :

When he fires the GP-30 at one of them, the grenade explodes 1.8 seconds after getting stuck in the cyborg soldier's chest, rather than directly detonating on impact like it is obviously supposed to.
