Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Big Heat is a 1988 Hong Kong movie directed by Johnnie To, with plenty of elements inspired directly by John Woo's earlier outputs in the Heroic Bloodshed genre. It is noted by fans of Johnnie To for being To's first attempt into making action movies; according to To, the movie was made on a "chaotic" shooting schedule with an ever-changing script, where To would want to pay homage to John Woo completely without ripping him off, while having his own unique ideas on what should be added into the film.Waise Lee, who previously played the Big Bad of A Better Tomorrow, takes a turn at being the protagonist, a Cowboy Cop who is losing control of his hand due to an accident. Investigating the unfortunate demise of a friend who's violently killed while on undercover assignment in Malaysia, Wong and his new partner, Kwok, uncovers a far more sinister plot involving smuggling operations making its way into Hong Kong.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Besides its overly long shooting schedule, the movie is known for its excessive violence and over-the-top gore effects, including multiple amounts of overkills.Do not confuse this with the 1953 film, The Big Heat. | |

Body Horror | |
| The Big Heat (1988) / int_504a1991 | comment |
Body Horror: The demise of the Big Bad, Han Ching. He attempts to shoot Inspector Wong with a shotgun, but Inspector Wong managed to retaliate by firing back at him, landing a hit into the shotgun’s barrel, which causes every shell in the weapon to go off and blast Han Ching in the face and body. The result looks like a man fused with a block of Swiss cheese in a teleporter accident. | |
