Talk:Hard Boiled

Tony Leung

 * There should be an introduction of who the lead actors are playing. And "Tony Leung's character again playing a cop working undercover for the triad" seems a little muddled in its meaning. You should mean "playing a cop working undercover IN the Triads" right? WongFeiHung 05:07, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

No plot section
Is there a reason that the plot of the movie isn't in the article? If not, I'll probably go ahead and write it, or request that someone else does. Dreadnaught 23:43, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, now there's another problem with the plot. Someone wrote an extremely informal plot summary, and I can't seem to edit it back into shape. So unless this is flagged for an admin to come down on it, we're stuck with a plot summary written by a 12-year-old. [nvm. someone else fixed it]
 * +1 for plot. — mattrobs 10:34, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Where is the plot??? ShinraiTS4 03:24, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
 * " develops into an over two hour action extravaganza, with a body count of 307. It is structured around four major action setpieces: the opening teahouse shootout, the warehouse betrayal in the middle, the dock shootout, and the climactic thirty-minute hospital shootout."

There's your plot, best movie ever! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.135.112.147 (talk) 21:52, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Re-write
I re-wrote this entire article. (Whew!...) I'm sure it's full of copy-edit errors. If anyone has any questions or comments about it. Please discuss it here! Cheers. Andrzejbanas (talk) 05:43, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Reference to Dragon Dynasty
The addition of See Also and a link to the List of Dragon Dynasty releases page was not done as free advertising, the claim in the undo note. I have no pecuniary interest in Dragon Dynasty or the Weinstein Company, it's corporate parent. Furthermore it is NOT redundant with the link in the article about releases, since the article link goes to the Dragon Dynasty company page which is completely different. The link to the list page was done to provide a link to page containing a concise detailed description, without editorial content, of the DVD and Blu-Ray media content for the Dragon Dynasty releases of Hard Boiled, information not present on the Dragon Dynasty company page. Thanks. Lind j a (talk) 21:50, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Tony vs. Alan
There's been a bit of edit warring over whether Tony Leung's character is named Tony or Alan. Can anyone show me the sources where he's referred to as Alan? Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:55, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

Chaostar (talk) 00:21, 23 February 2014 (UTC) replies: The IMDB page for the film calls the character Alan. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104684/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 Additionally, the English subtitles of the movie DVD (Dragon Dynasty, Two Disc Ultimate Edition) identify the character as Alan.
 * We dont' use IMDb as a source per WP:RS/IMDb. The Dragon Dynasty subtitles use dubtitles, so I wouldn't use them. Adding a source now. Andrzejbanas (talk) 18:34, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
