Atlas note · Hong Kong → Hong Kong

John Woo brought his own Heroic Bloodshed cinema to this Hollywood sequel. The Killer (1989), white doves before gunfights, dual-wielding revolvers, slow-motion violence as ballet, becomes the template. The film is Woo's statement: Hollywood finally caught up to what Hong Kong cinema had already perfected.
