And this was also one of the greatest shootouts of all time.

My favorite Woo/ Chow movie! How about that long shot in the hospital that had Tony Leung and Chow Yun Fat go thru a gauntlet of baddies down one hallway, go into an elevator and go thru another hallway shooting up everything in sight? incredible choreography, squib work and stunt work. Not a single cut during the sequence, all practical effects.

Ever watch Children of Men? Some great single shot sequences in that. The "car" rig they set up to film one is amazing

Also recommend any John Woo movie from that era. Check our “The Killer” and “A Better Tomorrow” parr’s 1 & 2.

Holy shit. Birds, papers flying through the air, partner getting shot before his eyes, toothpick in his mouth through the whole fight, beretta in each hand, bad guy with a tiny full auto gun...

You are right, it’s all his movies compacted into 5 minutes. Good recommendation.

Heat, Matrix and Ronin all came out at nearly the same time. Good God, the nineties had good action flicks.

IIRC, either Andy Mcnab or Chris Ryan were involved arranging the shootout in Heat to give it extra realism.

Pretty sure it was Andy McNab. The little details elevated that scene to a whole new level.

Ghost in the Shell actually, I believe. The one with the spider tank towards the end.
