    • Hard Target (1993

      • Considered one of the major figures of Hong Kong cinema, Woo has directed several notable action films including A Better Tomorrow (1986), The Killer (1989), Hard Boiled (1992) and Red Cliff (2008/2009). Hard Target (1993) was his first American film directorial debut, and the first major Hollywood film made by a Chinese director.

    • 'Face/Off' (1997) Starring: John Travolta, Nicolas Cage, and Joan Allen. One of the funniest action movies of all time, Face/Off is the greatest movie John Woo directed in America, and it's not even close.
    • 'Hard Target' (1993) Starring: Jean-Claude Van Damme, Arnold Vosloo, and Lance Henriksen. Action movie die-hards might've known John Woo's name before 1993, but those who weren't aware of his sensibilities before he (briefly) left the Hong Kong film industry sure became aware thanks to Hard Target.
    • 'Mission: Impossible II' (2000) Starring: Tom Cruise, Thandiwe Newton, and Ving Rhames. The second movie in the long-running Mission: Impossible series, this installment is often seen - perhaps not unfairly - as the weakest of the seven so far.
    • 'Broken Arrow' (1996) Starring: John Travolta, Christian Slater, and Samantha Mathis. Those who like their action movies as bombastic and ridiculous as possible will likely have a blast with Broken Arrow, which might just be John Woo's goofiest American movie (it has some tough competition though).

    • Face/Off. As if there could be any other choice for number one. I won't claim that "Face/Off" is John Woo's best film, but it's definitely one of the best — a symphony of silliness dressed up in a glossy '90s package.
    • Hard Target. "Hard Target" is the film that brought Woo to Hollywood, and it was an arrival chock full of problems. For one thing, the filmmaker had to cut down some of the violence to score an R rating over an NC-17.
    • Mission: Impossible 2. "Mission: Impossible 2" is often derided as the worst "Mission: Impossible" movie, but I'm here to tell you it's better than its reputation suggests.
    • Broken Arrow. Does anyone remember "Broken Arrow"? They should, because John Woo's 1996 flick is a hell of a lot of fun. John Travolta gets to ham it up big time as a United States Air Force pilot gone rogue.
