The first film that [[John Woo]] made in Hollywood after leaving Hong Kong, '''''Hard Target''''' starts off with a homeless man fleeing attackers on motorcycles, before being shot down just before he escapes across a river. Cut to three weeks later, when Natasha Binder (played by Yancy Butler) is looking for her father deep in the heart of New Orleans. [[Jean Claude Van Damme]]...sorry, "Chance" Boudreaux, saves her from a gang. Natasha, after being told that the police won't be able to find her father, hires Chance to protect her as she investigates. Soon, the pair find out about a secret "hunting" ring, led by [[Big Bad]] Emil Fouchon (Lance Henriksen) and must turn the tables on the hunters. |

All while sporting a mullet. And being aided by Wilford Brimley. Needless to say, there are some who consider it [[So Bad |
