wanted to make a thread to dedicate to the GOAT film maker of the 21st century, Hong Kong auteur Johnnie To. He cranks out flicks at a Miike-like rate, from many different genres, but is mostly known in the west for his stylized, hyper violent crime movies.

what is your favorite johnnie to movie?

any other ktt users big to-heads? a lot of his movies are quite hard to find.

Awesome guy. He definitely deserves more accolades.

I guess Mad Detective or Exiled

Watched Mad Detective this month was really good, I’ve also seen D*** War I think, Throw Down is next

I have only seen Mad Detective which was actual insanity. So I can’t wait to watch more of his work.

Exiled is my favorite and I even got the one sheet poster of that.

election 3 when

i have exiled on DVD

I just watched mad detective tonight crazy movie. To is a legit mad man

My top 3 to is election, d*** war, the mission

One of the best. My faves ranked would go:

1. Office
2. The Mission
3. Don't Go Breaking My Heart 2
4. Blind Detective
5. Don't Go Breaking My Heart
6. Vengeance
7. Mad Detective
8. D*** War
9. Three
10. Loving You

Still haven't gotten around to watching several of his other commonly praised films yet.

I really want to watch either Sparrow or Romancing in Thin Air next.

Romancing in thin air is a very cool movie. Sparrow I have been unable to find

I cant remember if i have them on one of my drives or not. I need to check. If i end up having Sparrow then i'll upload and send you a link

i can probably upload romancing on google drive if u need

I'd definitely appreciate that fam.

I just noticed that Tubi also has a few of his films available to watch right now, including Life Without Principle which is another one high on my Johnnie watchlist

at the end of his career

Exiled for sure

johnnie to is like howard hawks

To wrote Costello in vengeance for alain delon (charachter initially had alzheimers and not a bullet in the brain) and he said no because he didn’t wanna play a mental rétard with memory loss

To changed it to a bullet in the brain but the damage was already done

Lmao i never knew this.

Watching Mad Detective and am amazed man.

Watched throw down and didn’t like it tbh

delon def felt some type of way after that especially since he was the one who wanted to work with To

dm'd u

if these two are in a movie you know it's a GUARANTEED banger
