comment |
A Hong Kong policeman is killed in what looks like a regular murder by The Triads and the Tongs and it's a personal challenge for Inspector "Tequila" Yuen investigating the case. Before long, his star crossed love interest Billie and her daughter Teko are kidnapped by a ruthless Russian crime syndicate, too. Much Heroic Bloodshed ensues.John Woo Presents Stranglehold is a 2007 Third-Person Shooter by Midway Games that is both an affectionate pastiche of the classic Heroic Bloodshed movies and a sequel to the probably most famous example of the genre, Hard Boiled. And it was produced with John Woo participating, while Chow Yun-fat reprises his role as Tequila. As you may have expected from that lineup, the game is much more about marrying Rule of Cool to Rule of Fun and trashing each next level in impossibly awesome ways than anything else.A sequel, titled Gunrunner, was in the works and was set to feature a Darker and Edgier narrative starring Vin Diesel as a new partner character for Tequila, alongside driving segments a la Midway's own Wheelman (which also starred Diesel). However, it was cancelled due to Midway's severe financial troubles that led to their bankruptcy in 2009.The game, after being out of circulation for years, finally resurfaced on GOG.com in 2019. |

Your objective is to take out each one of them while dodging their bullets, and when the standoff ends, if any of your enemies are remaining, you have to take them out the regular way. |

Bottomless Magazines: Partly averted, as you have a limit on the total ammo... though it goes away, too, when you activate a Tequila Bomb. Although your ammo is finite, even if you run out, it's a simple matter of backtracking two steps and picking up bullets dropped by the dozens of dead Mooks you will leave in your wake. |

Cycle of Revenge |
| | Stranglehold (Video Game) / int_b7042372 |
comment |
Cycle of Revenge: Every misery Wong has heaped upon Tequila and his family stems from Tequila's killing of Wong's only son, Johnny Wong, in Hard Boiled, which Tequila did because of everything Johnny had done all movie, including the killing of two of his partners — and once Wong turns Tequila's newest partner against him, has Billie murdered and kidnaps Tequila's daughter Teko, it becomes very personal for Tequila. |
