    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Universal was afraid that John Woo's limited English would be a problem on set, so they hired Sam Raimi to oversee the entire shoot and replace Woo if need be.
    • Goofs
      When Fouchon is going over Chance Boudreaux's military record he says that (Chance) was apart of Marine Force Recon and his file even says U.S. Marines but the picture shown in the file shows him wearing a U.S. Army service uniform.
    • Quotes

      Natasha Binder: What kind of a name is Chance?

      Chance Boudreaux: Well... my momma took one...

    • Alternate versions
      A 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
    • Connections
      Featured in Siskel & Ebert & the Movies: The Man Without a Face/Wilder Napalm/King of the Hill/Hard Target/And the Band Played On (1993)
    • Soundtracks
      Opus 57 Appassionata Sonata
      Composed by Ludwig van Beethoven
      Performed by Dr. John Murphy

    Van Dammes best action movie ever.
    This is Van Dammes best action movie,and by action I mean a movie where there is shooting and acting,not just fighting. The movie is directed by John Woo which is one of the best action directors out there. The movie is entertaining from beginning to end.
