The Replacement Killers is a 1998 action movie directed by Antoine Fuqua in his directorial debut and co-produced by none other than John Woo.The film follows Hitman with a Heart John Lee, played by Chow Yun-fat in his first major Hollywood role, as he seeks to clear a debt with ruthless Triad crimelord Terence Wei (played by Kenneth Tsang) by killing his enemies. Unfortunately, the last contract is one that Lee cannot go through with — killing a cop's young son in revenge for the death of Wei's own son, a Triad lieutenant, in a police shootout.Wei is pissed that Lee could not complete the contract, and not only seeks to kill him, but hires replacement killers in order to finish the job that Lee could not. Worse, he also has his men in China start looking for Lee's family to take revenge upon them as well. Lee seeks to ensure his family's safety by having them moved to a secure location, and for this purpose enlists the help of skilled forger Meg Coburn (Mira Sorvino) to create a new passport for him. The two soon have to deal with not only the assassins sent to kill Lee, but the replacement killers sent to kill the cop and his son, as well as finding a way to stop Wei from exacting horrible vengeance against Lee's family. | |

The Dreaded: John has shades of this by the end. When John stands in front of Wei's limousine, rather than trying to run over John, the driver immediately starts backing away as fast as possible while his passengers cower in the back. Said passengers include the boss of a massive criminal empire who is abandoning his headquarters (and possibly city) just to get away from John. | |

Shameless Fanservice Girl: Meg shows signs of this in the film. She starts off wearing a thin black dress that’s unzipped in the back, showing her full back and bra. She changes out it for something slightly more modest but has her shirt unbuttoned showing her bra. By the end of the movie, she dresses up much more modest and looks cleaner. | |

Artistic License – Religion | |
| The Replacement Killers / int_a27c0c2c | comment |
Artistic License – Religion: In one scene, John berates the temple's Buddha statue for bringing unfair misfortune on his family, in all probability because the scriptwriter was under the impression that all religions work just like Christianity and their respective icon of worship must be the culprit and target of any Rage Against the Heavens. In reality, John's action makes absolutely no sense: Buddha is not the equivalent of God and isn't supposed to have any kind of control over the things that happen in the world, either good or bad, which instead obey to an impersonal principle of the universe named karma (and not even all of them, as Buddha stated that many events are not brought by previous karma and instead happen, you know, because they can happen). | |

Gangsta Style | |
| The Replacement Killers / int_e2cbeee9 | comment |
Gangsta Style: Hilariously inverted. With John and Meg in a Mexican Standoff against a over a dozen gangsters, most of them are holding their guns properly (though a few are Gangsta Style), but the professional assassin is holding his single pistol sideways the entire time. | |

| The Replacement Killers / int_f66dfb4b | comment |
His Name Really Is "Barkeep": When John first arrives to Meg's office looking for a counterfeit passport to go back to China, he says the name he wants for the passport is "John Lee", which Meg says is the fakest name she's ever heard for a false identity. Then she meets Alan, and he tells her that John's name is "John Lee". | |
