- There was a highly interesting article on John Woo in the _Los Angeles
- Times_ a few weeks ago, re (more specifically) his upcoming Jean-Claude Van
- Damme film _Hard Target_. A bit later, somebody wrote in a letter to the
- _Times_ stating that HK films are usually made by as many as seven first-unit
- directors all filming at the same time. Does anyone out there know just how
- much of each "John Woo film" Mr. Woo actually directed?
-
- PLUGS:
- (first-run theatricals) _Rampage_, _Flirting_, _Husbands & Wives_, _A
- Few Good Men_, _A Muppet Christmas Carol_, _The Distinguished Gentleman_,
- _Chaplin_, _Malcolm X_, _Forever Young_, _Scent of a Woman_, and (best of
- all) _Lorenzo's Oil_ and the _Army of Darkness_ trailer.
- (repertory theatricals) _The Killer_. (Lucky me.)
- (videos) _The Attic_, _Scream Greats Vol. 1_ (hah!), _Rabid_.
