Hard Target [DVD]

Color by DeLuxe; Eastman film, Foto-Kem processing, in New Orleans, Louisiana, John Woo has quickly become the king of Hong Kong's cult cinema. But Hard Target, Woo's long-awaited American directorial debut, opened to mixed reviews. For example, one reviewer called the film a compromised work, a stylistic hybrid of American and Hong Kong action pictures. However, the fact that the film had a hard time getting past the Motion Picture Association's NC-17 rating, it's likely the director's work was adulterated considerably. There are even rumors it's not a Woo film. Though Hard Target, is not a remake, it is based on the 1932 film The Most Dangerous Game, which comes from a classic story by Richard Connell. This picture was scripted by screenwriter Chuck Pfarrer. Other films shot in New Orleans include: The Big Easy, No Mercy, Tightrope, JFK, Belizaire the Cajun.
