I'm sure it's just a spelling error, but are you accusing John Woo of being a She/He ?

I like his movies, esp. Face/Off and Broken Arrow.

-I haven't seen any of his original HK films though

I like "Hard Target", although it like most movies that are filmed around, or suppose to take place in the New Orleans area gets the geography 99.9 percent wrong. I suppose that they do that with all cities.

I work in New Orleans, and when they were filming the movie, I came upon a location where they were filming while I was walking to work one morning. I passed all of these large trucks loaded with clothing, office furniture, other props, and gear. I didn't know what movie they were filming, there were no signs with the name posted. But I did pass all of these people wearing shirts and ball caps with the label "Hard Target Security". The only thing I could think of is, that is a really, horrible, bad name for a security company, you're just begging to get shot with that name! It wasn't until much later that I found out that "Hard Target" was the name of the film.

David.

Aside from the Australian voice dubbing, it was a pretty good movie. I'm pretty sure the Chinese don't say "Bloody hell" or "Mum" too often.

The huge assortment of guns was nice too.

Well Hard Boiled takes place in Hong Kong and during the time of the filming Hong Kong was still under British Rule so it would be understandable for some British linguistics to seep their way in.

Well still, I think it was more because the Aussies who dubbed it couldn't keep the lingo down.

Eh, I saw the same movie, and I'm pretty sure it was remastered, but the dubbing wasn't Australian in any way. They sounded perfectly normal.You might have had the wrong audio setting, or maybe I just had a different, better version of the movie. Sucks.
