Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
So I found my copy of Hard Boiled and watched it again, and it's still completely fuckawesome; along with The Killer, it's one of the defining examples of the "heroic bloodshed" genre of Hong Kong action cinema

Why are Hong Kong asskicking flicks so damn fun to watch?
It doesn't even matter how the butts are kicked. Shoot them, punch them, nunchuck them, it really does not matter, as long as bodies end up on the floor, they are all entertaining as hell.
