Hard Boiled (Chinese: 辣手神探; pinyin: Làshǒu shéntàn; literally: Hot-Handed God of Cops) is a 1992 action film by director John Woo. It is also known as God of Guns (Traditional Chinese: 鎗神/槍神; Simplified Chinese: 枪神; pinyin: Qiāngshén). It is the last film Woo directed in his native Hong Kong before relocating to Hollywood.
The film begins as an apparently straightforward film about the bond between a cop and an undercover cop as they fight a triad gang. However, it develops into an over two hour action extravaganza, with a body count of 307. It is structured around three major action setpieces: the opening teahouse shootout, the warehouse betrayal in the middle and the climactic thirty-minute hospital shootout.
