- Alternate versionsA 128 minute workprint of Hard Target also exists, but in a even lesser quality than the 116-minute test screening. It appears to be an assembly cut which was later trimmed down to the 116-minute version. It is mostly the same as the test screening cut, though it includes the following differences:
- there is no music score throughout the whole film
- many sound effects are missing
- alternate/extended scenes of dialogue
- alternate/extended shots in certain scenes
- additional shots and missing shots
Featured review
...miles better than most Hollywood action fare.
Action master John Woo's first (and best) American movie is somewhat of a disappointment to his Hong Kong movie fans--see "Hard Boiled" and "The Killer" for comparison--but still miles better than most Hollywood action fare. A good introduction to Woo's directing style with plenty of show-stopping action sequences, incredible stunt work and a solid performance by Van Damme. Despite a very impressive ending set piece and lots of awesome slow motion gun play, the movie (as released) seems to be missing something. Seek out the unrated, uncut version if at all possible--you won't regret it!
