The Roxy is taking a trip around the world in November, and we're stamping our Passport to Action with five of the hardest-hitting, death-defyingest, most explosion-filled international action movies of all time!

Violence as poetry, rendered by a master—brilliant and passionate, John Woo’s Hard Boiled tells the story of jaded detective “Tequila” Yuen (played with controlled fury by Chow Yun-fat). Woo’s dizzying odyssey through the world of Hong Kong Triads, undercover agents, and frenzied police raids culminates unforgettably in the breathless hospital sequence. Far more than a cops-and-bad-guys story, Hard Boiled continually startles with its originality and dark humor.
