One of the great things about John Woo, who really is an action surgeon, is his ability to shoot a movie with a steady eye so that his viewers can see and savor what the fuck is actually happening on screen.
That is how real action is filmed.
Hard Target (1993) was no exception with Woo delivering great fight sequences and chase sequences. The gulf between indecipherable and lazy/skill-less garbage seen in the likes of ‘The Dark Knight’ is truly worlds apart. In 1993 the Los Angeles Times did a small feature on the camera set up used to film Hard Target with Van Damme himself.
