Hard Boiled (Lat Sau San Taam (辣手神探), or "God of Guns") is a critically-acclaimed action film by John Woo, starring Chow Yun-fat in his slightly younger years. This 1992 action classic has aged very gracefully, and boasts action very few contemporary films can match up to.

Golden Riff scenes:

• Chow Yun-Fat looking like a 90s Smooth Jazz artist. When he's not mowing down countless bad guys, Tequila (Chow Yun-Fat) relaxes by playing jazz clarinet.
• The coded message scenes have a bad case of Engrish. One of the characters sends codes to the police by sending flowers to Teresa (Teresa Mo), a police secretary and Tequila's on-again, off-again girlfriend, with the message on the card. Before it's decoded, the message on the first card reads, "Are you somewhere feeling lonely/Or is someone loving you?", which is a lyric from Lionel Richie's "Hello". They're all from well-known love songs.
• Tequila holds a baby in one arm and sings a lullaby to him while gunning down incoming Mooks with his other arm. Later, said baby urinated on his pant leg, dousing the fire which ignited on Tequila's pants.
