Hard Target	comment	Hard Target is a 1993 action film directed by John Woo (in his American film debut after making a name for himself in his native Hong Kong) and starring Jean-Claude Van Damme.The film opens on a homeless man fleeing attackers on motorcycles before being shot down just before he escapes across a river. Three weeks later, Natasha Binder (Yancy Butler) is looking for her father deep in the heart of New Orleans. Chance Boudreaux (Van Damme), an out-of-work former Force Recon Marine, saves her from a gang attack; after Natasha is told that the police won't be able to find her father, she hires Chance to protect her as she investigates. Soon, the pair find out about a secret "hunting" ring, led by Big Bad Emil Fouchon (Lance Henriksen) and Professional Killer Pik Van Cleaf (Arnold Vosloo), and must turn the tables on the hunters.The movie is chock-full of John Woo's Signature Style, especially in the action scenes. Slo-mo, motorcycles exploding, and pigeons abound as Van Damme kicks and shoots dozens of mooks — all while sporting a mullet, and being aided by Wilford Brimley.

Several to Hard Boiled - the one-shot pistol Fouchon uses is the same one used by Mad Dog, Chance and Van Cleaf shoot at each other through windows and a woman shoots a man who slapped her and called her a bitch.

Hard Target / int_17122b19	comment	Exactly What I Aimed At: Uncle Douvee pulls off a brilliant one. He shoots an arrow that narrowly misses Fouchon's head. It looks like he was aiming at Fouchon but missed. However, the arrow goes on to shatter a jar of moonshine on the bench and the oil lamp behind it. The spilled moonshine ignites, causing the still to blow up. This lights the fuse of the dynamite Uncle Douvee has concealed all over his property, blowing the whole place up.

It also helps that the police coroner is on his payroll, and covers up the details of Binder's death. Detective Mitchell is the only officer who tries to help Natasha. She gets killed by Van Cleaf. There is a bit of a subversion in the fact that once this one detective starts to press on to try to find who killed Douglas Binder Fouchon decides the gig is up and it would be a good idea to pull stakes and move elsewhere (it's his decision to get rid of Chance and Natasha at all costs that ends up preventing him from doing that).

Though he has just received a money belt filled with $10,000, the prey in one hunt doesn't consider paying one of the many bystanders for help. The victim in the beginning of the movie might have made it, had he taken the easier route of falling into the water and swimming. In the case of the victims, though, it should be noted that both men by those times were badly injured, scared out of their minds, and not thinking straight.

It features more violence (In a John Woo movie, what a shock), the ear-cutting scene is shown in more grisly detail, and the scene where Fouchon is playing the piano was originally intercut with scenes of animals hunting in Africa. Also, there's a scene of Chance and Natasha confronting their UST that according to scuttlebutt, was dropped when preview audiences complained that they didn't get to see Yancy Butler's tits. One of the good cuts from this is Fouchon's death. In the DC, his death scene is a lot more conventional and lame. As noted above in Executive Meddling, Universal executives and Van Damme were critical of this cut.
