Did you like Ghosts of Mars? I liked it, but everyone else seemed to hate it. I thought Desolation Jones was one of the best screen names ever.
I've never read any crime novels. I don't stray far out of the horror genre when it comes to books.

All Ghosts was, was a remake of Assault. So how could I hate it? It was Desolation Williams BTW, but I still prefer Napoleon Wilson. Also, I posted my other favorite gunfights above, I don't know if you saw them though.

My favorite Woo gunfight would be the end of Killers. It's also my favorite Woo movie. Woo even stuck a dove in Hard Target???? Remember the scene in HT when Van Damm knocks out a snake? WTF? I bet the foley guy had a hard time coming up with the proper sound effect. What does a fist striking a snake sound like, anyway?

Have you seen SWAT yet? They're going through the shooting range, and a guy tells Samuel Jackson that he forgot to roll. Big Sam says, "Rolling is for John Woo movies. You don't do that shit in real life." Funny reference.

(Oh well--I like Desolation Jones better; has more of a Western ring to it.)

Hahaha. Hard Target (along with Cyborg) is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. If Van Damne wouldn't have starred in it, I have a feeling that it would be more of an action classic. Henrikson and Vosloo were badass in it. What does a fist hitting a snake sound like?

Haven't seen SWAT yet, but that is a good reference.

Also wanted to mention the violent Western Ulzana's Raid directed by Robert Aldrich and starring Burt Lancaster. Anyone seen this little gem? Nice anti-Vietnam film disguised as a Western, with the Indians standing in for the Viet Cong. No heroes in this one. The cavalry are obviously a bunch of racist morons, and the Indians are simply savage. They even cut out a guy's heart and toss it back and forth. At the very first of the movie, a woman thinks a soldier is coming to save her from an Indian attack, but instead he shoots her to so the Indians can't rape her. Then after his horse is wounded, he puts his pistol in his mouth and blows off the back of his head. Then the Indians laugh while mutilating their bodies. Horror fans would definitely like this, and it's more shocking than any Italian cannibal movie.

Believe it or not it came on TV. I'm having tremendous luck with The Flix Channel this week. It's been showing all these exploitation films Dr. K has been talking about and it showed How to get Ahead...Awesome channel. You're right about the mustache wielding, French-speaking, ketchup loving BOIL. Great for a laugh. Hope you have with the Wicker Man.:D
