Podcast appearances and mentions of John Woo

Carol Borden and Jackie Stargrove join Mike for a double-barreled deep dive into John Woo's The Killer — both the 1989 Hong Kong classic and Woo's own 2024 reimagining. They revisit the operatic gunfights, moral codes, and aching "bromance" that made The Killer a cornerstone of the “heroic bloodshed” genre, tracing its influence from Le Samouraï to Hard Boiled to the present day. Along the way, they take a detour through Hum Hain Bemisaal (1994), Bollywood's gloriously unauthorized remake, and consider how Woo's new vision reframes his mythic tale for a world that's changed as much as cinema itself.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth

Bruce Lee, herec a mistr bojových umění se narodil 27. listopadu 1940. Byl to právě on, kdo způsobil Kung-fu mánii v 70. letech 20. století, z níž vzešly hvězdy jako Jean-Claude Van Damme, Steven Seagal nebo Chuck Norris. Svými filmy inspiroval řadu tvůrců akčních filmů, jako jsou Jackie Chan, John Woo a Quentin Tarantino. Jeho bojové umění Jeet Kune Do připravilo půdu pro dnes populární zápasy MMA. Lee, respektive jeho rychlé pohyby, měly vliv na breakdance.

Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski take you through a week that includes the film that sent The Color Purple home empty, one of the Mars movies of 2000-01 and a decade-old adaptation of a Broadway smash. There's also another prestige Oscar winner from Merchant Ivory, the Marx Brothers go to the circus and Simon Pegg & Nick Frost pay tribute to science fiction.

In aflevering 234 van Nerd Culture duiken we diep in de wereld van wraak, frikandellen en muziek?! Nog nooit eerder zag je in een aflevering van Nerd Culture zoveel arthouse. En dat komt omdat dit een special is over Koreaanse films. We bespreken Skate's persoonlijke top 10 films uit Korea, waar verassend veel revenge movies tussen blijken te zitten. Maar, voordat het zover is, tast Jelle Skate's film en serie smaak af en stranden ze eerst vrij lang op een atypisch Nerd Culture onderwerp.De revival van 80's en 90's hip hopWant zoals je weet bespreken we elke aflevering eerst wat we hebben gekeken, gelezen of geluisterd. Naja, tenzij je Koos en Jasper heet, en je enthousiasme je gelijk in schildpadden materie laat duiken. Maar dat ter zijde.Skate is namelijk een muziek nerd. Een hiphop nerd, mochten die überhaupt bestaan. En er is een vette revival gaande van artiesten als Mobb Deep, Raekwon en De La Soul - alle favorieten van Skate - die op Nas' nieuwe Mass Appeal Records albums reeks Legend Has It... kunnen laten zien dat ritme en rijm niets met leeftijd te maken hebben.En gezien ook Jelle niet vies is van een moppie muziek, stranden ze bijna 20 minuten op een onderwerp dat niet vaak langskomt in Nerd Culture: muziek. Maar geloof ons, het gesprek is meer dan nerdy genoeg om een plek in deze aflevering te verantwoorden.Top 10 Koreaanse films met o.a. zombiefilm Train to BusanGezien Koos en Huey op het moment van deze opname letterlijk in de trein naar Busan zaten, was dit natuurlijk hét inkoppertje als onderwerp. Wat hopelijk een feest zal zijn voor alle krulsnor-draaiende kijkers en luisteraars.Verder begint de aflevering overigens met een losse beschouwing op de "rise to power" van de Koreaanse filmindustrie. Althans, zoals beide heren dit zelf hebben ervaren - zoals bijna altijd de insteek is van een Gamekings item :)De afsluiter van deze aflevering is dan ook een waardige Top 10 van Koreaanse films die op je watchlist mogen, mocht je ze nog niet hebben gezien!Timestamps:00:00:00 Nerd Culture #234 Korean Special00:02:20 Wat hebben we gekeken/gelezen/geluisterd? 00:11:07 Skate luistert een oude hip hop revival00:18:17 Jelle is ook alleen maar bezig geweest met muziek 00:28:20 911 Nashville 00:31:17 Nobody Wants This S200:36:30 Down Cemetery Road00:38:18 House of Dynamite00:48:55 Task00:54:04 Michael Trailer00:58:40 Gremlins komen terug! 202701:05:55 Luther keert ook terug! 01:10:09 Kill Bill the Whole Bloody Affair trailer01:12:47 Star Trek nieuwe richting? 01:12:30Toy Story 5 Teaser01:13:32 Stranger Things cast zit in moeilijke periode01:15:16 Godzilla Minus One Sequelkomt er ook aan01:15:45 Nick Cage en John Woo weer samen sinds Face/OFF01:16:15 Running Man Final 01:17:13 Top 10 Koreaanse films allertijden

insta : laboite2chocolat ou la_boitedechocolatPour ce 9eme épisode de cette saison on s'enchaîne l'un des films cultes des années 90 : Volte Face !Alors ça raconte quoi ?Et bien d'un côté, t'as John Travolta, agent du FBI avec la coupe de cheveux d'un vendeur Darty en crise de la quarantaine. Le mec est traumatisé parce que Nicolas Cage, aka Castor Troy (oui, le nom d'un bricoleur psychopathe ou d'un Pokémon sous stéroïdes) a tué son gamin.Classique. Triste. Mais t'inquiète, ça va vite partir en festival de WTF.Castor Troy, lui, c'est le méchant le plus Nicolas Cage de l'histoire de Nicolas Cage. Il lèche les visages, il danse en soutane, il explose des avions… Bref, du grand Nicolas CageEt la attention, le scénario va vous scotcher :Nos deux personnages vont échanger leurs... visages !Oui oui, dans le plus grand des calmes, vraiment sans exagérer le FBI va se dire :“Hé les gars, et si on prenait son visage, littéralement, et qu'on le recousait sur Travolta pour infiltrer ses potes ?”Oui. Ils font une greffe de visage express, sans cicatrice, sans rejet, sans rien. Et là, magie du cinéma : Travolta devient Cage, Cage devient Travolta, et le spectateur devient fou.Donc Travolta (avec la tête de Cage) infiltre les méchants, pendant que Cage (avec la tête de Travolta) se réveille, pique son visage et sa vie.Résultat : t'as le méchant dans le corps du gentil, le gentil dans le corps du méchant, et tout le monde dans une crise identitaire.Madame Travolta, elle, capte rien. Son mari rentre, il a changé de regard, de façon de faire et de libido, et elle se dit juste : “Oh, il a enfin pris des vitamines.”Non ma belle, ton mari, c'est Nicolas Cage en mission tantrique.Et pendant ce temps, les deux mecs se courent après, se tirent dessus, se hurlent des trucs profonds genre “Si tu es Sean Archer, c'est que je dois être Castor Troy”, tout en se lançant à travers des vitraux au ralenti, parce que John Woo, le réalisateur, il adore les ralentis et les colombes.Finalement, ils se tirent dessus, encore, encore, encore… jusqu'à ce qu'on sache plus qui doit mourir, qui est qui, ni pourquoi ils ont encore un visage entier après tout ça.Et bien sûr, happy end : le gentil récupère sa tête, sa famille, et probablement une infection du cuir chevelu, mais ça, on s'en fout et également un gamin de substitution, parce que pourquoi pas.Pour parler de ce délice on retrouve Thomas, Charlie, l'autre Thomas et Pierre (a.k.a "Pépinot") et en effet, ce soir c'est un vrai épisode de bonhomme !N'hésitez pas d'ailleurs à nous LAISSER DES COMMENTAIRES ET AUSSI DES BONNES ETOILES (déjà parce qu'on est des gens cool), et puis aussi suggérez nous des films, on les fera avec plaisir.VOUS ETES DE PLUS EN PLUS NOMBREUX, SOYEZ DE MOINS EN MOINS TIMIDE voici notre mail pour toutes suggestions / propositions de films : laboitedechocolatmail@gmail.com Hébergé par Acast.

Brogan has been splattered into red paste on the wall and Murph doesn't know what to do about that so he calls in the Scream Team of Will and Thomas for the annual Halloween episode.

Pour le premier épisode de cette nouvelle saison j'ai l'honneur de recevoir une légende du cinéma : John Woo. Et qui de mieux que lui pour nous parler de Volte/Face (1997). Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Ils ont vu passer des productions prestigieuses comme The Killer de John Woo, The Last Mrs Parrish de Robert Zemeckis, Valerian de Luc Besson et des séries phares telles qu'Emily in Paris, Le Bureau des Légendes ou The Walking Dead et même des athlètes durant les derniers JO dans la capitale. Aujourd'hui, les Studios de Paris, dotés de 9500 m² de plateaux de tournage et plus de 15 000 m² d'ateliers, de bureaux et de loges, s'offrent une nouvelle tête d'affiche. Ou plutôt un président, Pierre Lescure.

October 13, 2025 marked the 75th anniversary of the premiere of the Oscar-winning classic All About Eve, which the Alternate Ending crew decided made for a perfect excuse to revisit one of the most remarkable face-offs between two evenly-matched masterpieces in cinema history. In this corner: Eve, the caustically witty dark comedy about backstabbing and ageism in the world of legitimate theater. In the far corner: Sunset Blvd., the lacerating film noir about madness and ageism in the world of motion pictures. Two of the medium's most iconic female lead performances, top-tier screenplays by two of Hollywood's most celebrated writers... even if the team can't pick a favorite, it's a pleasure just to get to luxuriate in the presence of these two icons. To discuss the highs and... higher highs of these two classics, Tim is joined by Cameron, and Brian, and not least Zev, whose idea this was in the first place. Before getting to the main showdown, Cameron shares her thoughts on the new must-see cinephile bait, Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another, Zev catches up with the must-see-somewhat-less DreamWorks Animation comedy Dog Man, and courtesy of Patreon supporter and regular podcast guest Andrew Milne, Tim gets a third perfect 10/10 masterwork to talk about, in the form of John Woo's 1989 action epic The Killer. Brian unfortunately wasn't able to catch up with a movie, as he's just out a stay at the hospital that's put him out of work for a few weeks. Help him out during this difficult time by visiting his GoFundMe page!

Send us a textNuclear theft, a smirking supervillain, and a train sequence that refuses to quit—our rewatch of John Woo's Broken Arrow is a love letter to the wildest corners of '90s action. We kick off Todd's birthday stream with a question we can't stop asking: why do some “bad” movies age into perfect Friday-night fun? From the opening boxing match that telegraphs John Travolta's heel turn to the copper mine countdown and that infamous dummy shot, we break down what's silly, what's sharp, and what still absolutely rocks.We talk craft first—Woo's kinetic framing, musical stings that brand the villain, and the set-piece logic that prioritizes momentum over realism. Travolta's Deakins is a performance to savor: cigarette choreo, off-kilter affectations, and one-liners delivered like souvenirs. Christian Slater's Riley Hale adds human scale—witty, bruised, and just competent enough to keep the chase honest. We dig into how Graham Yost (Speed) trades tight architecture for sprawling fun, why the $20 running gag works as a narrative thread, and how the movie sneaks in actual smart bits—like using an EMP to flip a helicopter from hunter to wreckage.Along the way, we spotlight Samantha Mathis's Ranger Terry, Delroy Lindo's steady presence, and the movie's unapologetic '90s DNA: practical explosions, miniature mayhem, and VHS-ready quips. Yes, the physics are friendly, the Pentagon is plot-convenient, and helicopters can't aim—but the joy is real. And that train finale? Still a banger. We finish with what we're watching now (Marvel Zombies and Chad Powers) and tease next week's spooky-season pick: Freddy vs. Jason.If you're nostalgic for maximalist action or just crave a good-bad gem that plays great with friends, queue this one up, then hit play on our breakdown.

Send us a textSPECIAL NOTE: SEASON 15 OF THE GOOD, THE POD AND THE UGLY CELEBRATES THE USE OF THE PRACTICAL AND DIGITAL EFFECT KNOWN AS THE SQUIB. IRL GUN VIOLENCE IS INTOLERABLE AND RENOUNCED BUT... CINEMATIC VIOLENCE WILL BE CELEBRATED IN A WAY THAT MAY DISTURB SOME LISTENERS.  Squib Games Season (S15) continues with an 80's cable classic and special effects extravaganza, the eponymous F/X (1986).   Director Robert Mandel best known for his 1992 drama School Ties had no major studio film to his credit when he was hired to direct the two top tiered Bryans: Aussie sexpot Bryan Brown as the Hollywood special effects guru Roland “Rollie” Tyler, an immigrant framed by crooked law enforcement in an intricate double-fake out murder leaving him a marked man, and Brian Dennehy (returning to the action genre, see First Blood from earlier this season) as Detective Leo McCarthy who plays by his own rulebook and likely soon up for retirement who suspects Rollie might be innocent. Pod favs Diane Venora (Bird, Heat, The Insider) has a minor role as the aspiring actress love interest and Tom Noonan (Manhunter this same year) plays a tall goon. Surprisingly for an action-intrigue movie set in the 1980s, there are a pleasant number of professional women getting the job done, although those who pop most on screen are Rollie's and Det. McCarthy's respective sidekicks.  Mixing reveals on how effects are done in real life with FX in the reality of the movie's world provides a great primer for this season's gun play as well as lets the movie's hero exact lethal revenge without having to hold a gun. Such a fun concept, the premise spawned a sequel five years later starring the two Bryans and five years after that a forty-episode, two-season Canadian TV series starring neither Bry/i/an.  The hosts this ep spitball alternate castings for turning F/X from a action-thriller into a b-movie gorefest; Ken's feels safe to share his big glasses frame fetish; Ryan's presents a theory on why straight women wore out copies of their VHS's; and Thomas gets the opportunity to mention both The Rage: Carrie 2 and Psycho III in nearly the same breath.  Jack, this season's visiting guest host and inspiration for Squib Season, is off again this week on some continental op but will return for next episode with the book report for Miller's Crossing.  Fun final fact: F/X is the first movie since TGTPTU Season 4's Cage/Uncaged to have a forward slash (or a “stroke” for our speakers of British English) in its title. That prior movie, of course, was our first John Woo film covered.  THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @goodpodugly.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gLetterboxd (follow us!):Podcast: goodpoduglyKen: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

In this episode of the Action Movie Guys Podcast, Alex experiences Windtalkers (2002) for the very first time, while Nate revisits the World War II action drama after many years. Directed by John Woo and starring Nicolas Cage and Adam Beach, the film tells the story of Navajo code talkers whose language helped turn the tide of the war. Does the mix of history and high-octane action still work today? Tune in as Alex and Nate break down the performances, the action sequences, and whether Windtalkers deserves more recognition.

As summer comes to a close, Jared and Joe review three final films from the season: Superman, The Naked Gun, and Weapons. Also, Jared reports on a few Peter Greenaway films, while Joe deep-dives into John Woo's oeuvre.

Send us a textBuckle up for a hilariously unhinged episode of Entertain This!, where we strap on our best face-swapping tech to roast the gloriously absurd Face/Off (1997). John Woo's action fever dream stars John Travolta and Nicolas Cage, who trade faces faster than you can say “identity crisis” in a plot that defies logic, physics, and good taste. Our hosts cackle through the film's bonkers premise, from Travolta's unconvincing bad-guy strut to Cage's unhinged scenery-chewing that deserves its own Oscar category. We'll poke fun at the dove-filled slow-mo shootouts, the questionable science of face transplants, and the sheer audacity of a movie that asks, “What if two dudes literally swapped lives… and nobody noticed?”  Is Face/Off a cinematic masterpiece or a gloriously deranged fever dream? Join us as we mock, marvel, and maybe secretly adore this '90s relic. Warning: listening may cause an urge to dramatically peel off your own face.Stream now on all platforms, and join the chaos on X, Instagram, or TikTok @EntertainThis_Call Me By Your Gamea nostalgic video game podcastListen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify The Gaming BlenderWe mash genres.

Gary, Terry, and Graham are back with another edition of Action Movie Landfill. This time, Gary has dragged out John Woo's 1996 nuclear heist thriller, Broken Arrow.Woo arrived in Hollywood with a reputation for high-octane Hong Kong action movies, and just a year later he'd cement his legacy with the classic Face/Off, once again teaming up with John Travolta. But how much does Broken Arrow serve as a warm-up for Face/Off — or is the stronger link to screenwriter Graham Yost, the man who wrote the script for Speed? For just over an hour, the gang rummage through desert chases, pantomime villainy, Hans Zimmer guitar riffs, and the question of whether this film belongs in the landfill.Download the podcast here or listen on the player below.

August was a rough month for one of the hosts, so we decided to invent a holiday: Hong Kongust! A month-long celebration of Hong Kong action cinema condensed into one episode! And as is tradition in gun fu movies, we decided to dual-wield two of the most renowned Hong Kong action movies of all time: John Woo's "The Killer" (1989) and John Woo's "Hard Boiled" (1992). That's right! Double the Woo for all of you!In addition to discussing birds and bromances, the hosts also talk about: Big Chungus; if Taylor Swift prefers Sheetz or Wawa; multiverse existential crises; Hong Kong in the 1990s; Cowboy Bebop; and afterlife injuries.

The dingo hasn't eaten our baby but it's possible it ate the script of Mission: Impossible II, forcing this 2000 sequel to fly by the seat of its pants during filming. That can be the only explanation for the insanity that is this film. Listen and you'll hear all the many reasons why we put this film at the bottom of our lists, the pros and cons of Tom Cruise enlisting auteur director John Woo to helm this project and what we think about the heavy mask work this movie has an addiction to.

Send us a textSPECIAL NOTE: SEASON 15 OF THE GOOD, THE POD AND THE UGLY CELEBRATES THE USE OF THE PRACTICAL AND DIGITAL EFFECT KNOWN AS THE SQUIB. IRL GUN VIOLENCE IS INTOLERABLE AND RENOUNCED BUT... CINEMATIC VIOLENCE WILL BE CELEBRATED IN A WAY WILL DISTURB SOME LISTENERS.   This week, a pleasant return to cinema gun violence (after last week's entry of Gus Van Sant's school shooter film Elephant) as TGTPTU covers John Woo's American directorial début HARD TARGÈT (1993). The pod's temporal pincer movement again gets fudged this pairing to bring to you a Lance Henriksen double feature (next week's The Terminator), skipping the late- and mid90s (good film, btw, but Jonah Hill uses no squibs in his 2018 directorial début so it won't be covered during Season 15) and Way of the Gun (covered in a future pairing and now's not the time or place for reactions).    Hard Targét features Jean-Claude Van Damme in the rôle of Chance Boudreaux, a spicy Cajun seamen stranded and out of work needing $$$ so he can pay dues to ship out again and a former military badass and nephew to Coonass bootlegger Uncle Clarence Douvée played by Wilford Brimley who enters over halfway through the film in an almost surprise cameo appearance that outstays its welcome until the happy ending in a Mardi Gras float storage facility deep in the bayou where the final standoff between gooddée JCVD against baddée Henriksen (playing an inflammable globetrotting businessman in the business of orchestrating homeless veteran hunts) results in his (Brimley's) seeming death only to be saved by his flask (yay!) but loses the last of his final stills batch (sad!) before the abrupt conclusion of the film. Oh, and there's a woman character played by Yancy Butler looking for her daddée, whom we learned was homeless and we learn was played by the writer of the film in its opening manhunting scene. If you haven't surmised, the plot is basically “The Most Dangerous Game” minus the island and Cossack and charm of the short story and adding in Woo's vision of a Western and JCVD's kicks (but, sadly, no splits).   The majority of Henrickson's performance in what was written and shot to be a two-hander was cut out (just like 70% of the digressions and Frenchifications in this week's Show Notes), allegedly, by JCVD who worked with his own editor because, at the fin de la journée, this is a JCVD film and il est “aware.” (For Francophiles, please search the video interview of JCVD entitled “Jean-Claude Van Damme ‘Aware'”.)  Listen this week to hear if host and Brimley fan Ryan will remained un-Woo'ed after seeing his Quaker Oats forever old riding a horse; see how easily host Tom is derailed by mention of Buffy the Vampire Slayer; and find out if any of Ken's conspiracy theories are what have gotten this podcast shadow banned yet again.    Core hosts (les deux daddées et un Zoomer) only this week as Jacque is with his stepmom and her Nugget League of Mayhem adding glitter bombs and confetti to their Mardi Gras float this week.THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @goodpodugly.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gLetterboxd (follow us!):Podcast: goodpoduglyKen: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias
