John Woo to Make Stranglehold Movie, Wants to Make Another Game

Stranglehold was John Woo’s first foray in to videogames. A sequel to the Hong-Kong Action flick Hard-Boiled, Stranglehold saw the return of Chow Yun-Fat’s “Tequila” as well as the slow-motion “bullet-time” that eventually found it way in to games like “Max Payne,” and films like “the Matrix”
