Also known as Hong Kong Blood Opera, this is a genre of Hong Kong Action Cinema made popular by directors like John Woo and Ringo Lam and actors such as Chow Yun-fat. Heroic Bloodshed plots are primarily modern-day crime action pieces that focus on revenge, redemption or some kind of conflict between rivals or enemies on both sides of the law, with a special focus on gunplay. There's a very strong theme of honor, loyalty and betrayal in these movies, particularly those made by John Woo. Characters spin, roll, and dive across the room while blasting away during shootouts, often with two guns at once. Often, a good dose of kung fu or other martial arts is also mixed in, especially when actors synonomous with that genre appear. Heroic Bloodshed films (as per the name) are also incredibly violent with lots of blood and high body counts before it's all over. Protagonists are usually honorable criminals or hard-boiled enforcers of either the police or the criminal variety, resulting in very morally ambiguous plots, which makes for some interesting parallels with Film Noir. Not to be confused with old-style martial arts films, nor Wuxia which is Chinese classical fantasy about feuding knights errant using Magical Martial Arts. These films instead prefer the modern cop and gangster milieu, and the martial art of choice is Gun Fu. Except when it's a Feng Shui game, then it's pretty much the same. For more information about the genre, see The Other Wiki's article. |

Skin Traffik is a British DTV flick with various action scenes and plot elements lifted from John Woo's movies, including the protagonist being a Hitman with a Heart and The Atoner, characters diving aside while firing guns, scenes of the hero and villains in slick tuxedos and suits, and plenty of faceless mooks to be shot and killed in several action scenes. To hit the nail even deeper, an early scene in the movie have the protagonist making a confession in church, much like The Killer (1989), before carrying out his first onscreen hit. | |

A Killer's Blues starring Ti Lung. After the success of The Killer above, plenty of movies in this genre would find a way to cram the word "killer" in its title, though to be fair the protagonists are indeed hitmen and assassins. | |

Cowboy Bebop, has plenty of bounty hunting, wacky hijinks and sci-fi action. But when the focus switches to Spike's clashes with the Red Dragon syndicate he was once part of and his former best friend/deadliest rival Vicious, this genre comes straight to the fore, with plenty of shootouts, bloodshed and tragic love abounding. | |

Slaughter in Xi'an directed by Shaw Brother's Chang Cheh, one of his last movies, which combines Wuxia with Heroic Bloodshed elements. The protagonist is a police officer framed by the mob, and ends up wielding a belt-fed heavy machine gun and single-handedly killing loads and loads of white-clad extras (so yes, there’s a lot of red squibs going off throughout the last 5 minutes of the film). | |

Triple Threat (2019) centres on an Indonesian man who wants to avenge his village's destruction at the hands of a band of mercenaries, while two defectors fight for their own survival alongside a Chinese heiress targeted by the mercenaries. There is an assortment of stylized gun, melee, and close-quarters-combat violence and virtually every named character is a capable combatant. | |

Black Lagoon may seem to be this genre at first, but on closer observation, it plays the cynical subtropes straight while mercilessly demolishing the idealistic ones. Unlike true Heroic Bloodshed, the series holds absolutely no faith in honor, hope or fundamental human decency. Downplayed in the English dub, where The Western aesthetics are played up instead. | |

Although short on gunplay, the extreme balletic violence and perversely honourable moral element of the blood opera was part and parcel of Crying Freeman — for the superpowered leader of a vastly powerful criminal conspiracy, Freeman Yoh spends a lot more time battling criminals and indirectly aiding the downtrodden than actually committing the kind of deeds which keep a crime syndicate afloat — it's like a mafia film which is all 'doing favours' and no 'collecting on debts'. | |

Set in Indonesia the story focuses on a Dwindling Party of cops that are whittled down to a handful after a police raid gone horribly wrong, now having to fight for their lives in an apartment that has criminal tenants. In recent years, probably one of the best-known films of this genre, at least for Western audiences. The sequel to The Raid, Berandal featuring the same director and a few actors returning. |

The El Mariachi trilogy is Robert Rodriguez's personal love letter to the genre (as well as Westerns), with its titular protagonist being a wandering Mariachi caught in a gang war. The sequel, Desperado further ups the ante, with the Mariachi, now being played by Antonio Banderas, kicking ass with dual pistols and leaping while firing every shot. The third installment, Once Upon a Time in Mexico also applies here. |
