''[[In Case You Forgot Who Wrote It|John Woo Presents Stranglehold]]'' is a 2007 [[Third-Person Shooter]] that is both an affectionate pastiche of the classic [[Heroic Bloodshed]] movies ''and'' a sequel to the probably most famous example of the genre, ''[[Hard Boiled]]''. And it was produced with [[John Woo]] participating, while Chow Yun-Fat reprises his role as Tequila. As you may have expected from that lineup, the game is much more about marrying [[Rule of Cool]] to [[Rule of Fun]] and [[Everything Breaks|trashing each next level]] in impossibly awesome ways than anything else.
