Blah. Woo's accent is even worse on this one. Chang gives a little insight into the film, but the critic is a rambling moron, and there is absolutely no reason why the "filmmaker" Avary should even be on here. An absolute waste.

This commentary is spliced together. Nobody in here seems to be together. As such, the track may seem disjointed. ‘Logic, usually, is very boring,’ John Woo says. Roger Avary talks a lot about what he thinks of the movie, and in what way it distinguishes itself from other action movies. Mr. Kehr first talks about the types of violences in movies, then about pacing, and how John Woo uses both of these things. He also talks about how American movies differ. They all talk about the characters in the movie. John Woo talks about the actors and gives out some nice tidbits of information, like the flour bit on Chow Yun-fat’s face in the teahouse was suggested by Mr. Chow himself. Terence Chang talks about producer stuff – they shot the teahouse shootout without really knowing what the rest of the movie was going to be like because they didn’t like the original concept and were going to rewrite the movie. One thing he says didn’t really surprise me (well, it surprised me but I wasn’t surprised at... here goes). In the big explosion at the end, John Woo wanted to use a lot more explosives. He only ended up using about 1/4 of the explosives he wanted to use. If you’ve seen the movie you know how big that explosion is. Can you just imagine it being 4 times bigger? The track is very informative and very interesting. It’s funny at a few points and I thank Criterion for it.
