episode 266: Hard Boiling (and boiled sequels)
THIS WEEK: Hard Boiled (1992), The Last Blood AKA Hard Boiled 2 (1991), Just Heroes AKA Hard Boiled 2 (1989)
If you make the greatest action film of all time before leaving Hong Kong for Hollywood, there's a good chance someone will try to make a quick buck with an in-name-only sequel. If you're really lucky, they'll just slap a new title on an old movie. Maybe even one of your own. Or someone will make an Xbox game 15 years later. This is how it works.
