Tequila: What's with all these paper cranes? You bored? Maybe you feel lonely here?
Alan: You know, I've always hated making cranes. I make one each time I kill somebody. How about it, shall I make you one?
Tequila: No thanks. And if you'll get killed, who'll make yours?
Tequila: You're full of shit, you know that? There's a toilet over there.
Johnny Wong: Most things go in and out of style - that is with the exception of war of course.
Johnny Wong: There is no room for failure now. The innocent must die!
Tequila: [Tequila's pants leg is on fire and a baby he's holding urinates down Tequila's leg, causing the fire to go out] You saved the day there, you little pisspot. Thanks a lot.

[in English, unexpectedly]
Superintendant Pang: Attention! This is a fucking order!
Tequila: Which year did you graduate? Who was your teacher?
Alan: Are you testing me?
Tequila: I'd just like to ask your teach how he managed to produce such a stubborn cop.
Alan: Birthdays aren't important when you don't have a real identity.
Tequila: If all cops were as selfish as you, Hong Kong would be dead
Alan: [shortly after Tequila reassured Alan that the guy he shot wasn't a cop] Was that guy I shot really a cop?
Tequila: Yeah.
Alan: Fuck!
Alan: Pang said you don't waste bullets.
Tequila: Are you testing me?
Tequila: Do you have any dreams?
Alan: I do. I want to move to Antartica.
Tequila: It's freezing there. You like that?
Alan: At least I can come out of the dark. There's daylight 24 hours a day there.
Superintendant Pang: Give a guy a gun, he thinks he's Superman. Give him two and he thinks he's God.
Alan: When I'm a Triad, the cops want to kill me and when I'm a cop, everyone wants to kill me! I'm a scared man.
Mad Dog: You know what I hate? Two groups of people: fucking cops and creeps who betray their old bosses.
Tequila: I can't afford any of these apartments!
Cop: Why not live in a government apartment?
Tequila: No way, I make too much for that! Wait... jazz bar! I'll live in the jazz bar!
Cop: At least you'll get a lot of "sax".
Tequila: Should I salute you?
Alan: You've got the gun. I'll go and milk a cow if you want.
Tequila: Sorry, I don't drink milk
Tequila: You're really full of shit. The toilet's over there.
Alan: Have you got a cop called Vodka?
Superintendant Pang: He's called Tequila. He's a tough cop.
Alan: I don't care who he is, tell him to back off. He'll ruin everything. Do you want to go to another funeral!
Tequila: What are you? It's hard to call you a triad. It's even harder to call you a cop. What rank are you? Sergeant? Inspector? Joker? Should I salute you?
Alan: If you like. To you, I'm a criminal. To my mum, I'm a son. To the triads, I'm a boss.
Johnny Wong: We either conquer the world or you kill me tonight with this gun.
Johnny Wong: Everything goes in and out of style, except war.

Masterful Hong Kong action director John Woo (The Killer, Face/Off) turns in this exciting and pyrotechnic tale of warring gangsters and shifting loyalties. Chow Yun-fat (The Replacement Killers) plays a take-no-prisoners cop on the trail of the triad, the Hong Kong Mafia, when his partner is killed during a gun battle. His guilt propels him into an all-out war against the gang, including an up-and-coming soldier in the mob (Tony Leung) who turns out to be an undercover cop. The two men must come to terms with their allegiance to the force and their loyalty to each other as they try to take down the gangsters. A stunning feast of hyperbolic action sequences (including a climactic sequence in an entire hospital taken hostage), Hard-Boiled is a rare treat for fans of the action genre, with sequences as thrilling and intense as any ever committed to film. --Robert Lane
