Bad Movie Monday: Hard Target

Director John Woo, writer Chuck Pfarrer, and Jean-Claude Van Damme team up for this predictable human-hunting flick. Of course, Van Damme is the Hard Target in this one. Unforturnately, this is the first in a long line of Woo directed movies to hit the shores of the US. He is responsible for films such as: Broken Arrow, Face/Off, Mission Impossible II, Windtalkers, and last year's Paycheck. The writer Chuck Pfarrer is responsible for some terrible flicks himself, such as; Navy SEALS, Darkman, Barb Wire, The Jackal, and Red Planet. Fortunately, he hasn't written anything since 2000.

Highlights: Van Damme constructs a booby trap out of a rattlesnake. That's right, he punches out a rattlesnake and some how incorporates it into a trap which he uses to kill one of the hunters. The snake scene and Wilford Brimley is all that I remember from this disaster.
