Shoot 'Em Up - Red Band Trailer

by Kurt Halfyard, August 1, 2007 6:58 PM

Ahhh, he's doing the old Carrot in the Trigger trick.

Michael Davis' bubble-gum take on the John Woo bullet ballet is shaping up to be some crazy fun. A new red band trailer (although there is nothing in there that is NSFW) for the film implies just how much action, sex (?) and silly can be packed into an unabashed B-Film stocked full of A-List actors. Hmmm, an upscale Transporter 2? Obviously the Hong Kong action aesthetic is not dead in Hollywood yet, although this film may put the last nail in the coffin. (side note: even the baby bottles on the image to the left look like the colourful bar at the end of Sha Po Lang). In order to get the red band trailer to work, you need select "View Age Restricted Content" to put in some verification information on the main site (May I humbly suggest Daniel Glickman, 11/24/44, 20016).

**UPDATE** Don't want to bother with the verification mumbo-jumbo? Movies for the Masses has a nice quality embedded flash version (see link below)

I can't imagine that film being any longer than the trailer.

This looks like Johnny To's wet dream. I can't wait!

Well, J.To without the oozing of style...I think Shoot'em Up will be sugar rush first, everything else second.

P.S. - Gimatti's character's name is "Mr. Hertz." Hmmm.

I can't help but smile whenever I even *think* about this movie.

Looks like CRANK 2. I'll rent it.

And it's a great trailer but hardly anything kids shouldn't watch. Well, in Europe at least :p
