THE INTERNATIONAL had a good Guggenheim Museum shootout (in terms of

Apparently youse never watched any John Woo and early Chow Yun Fat
from the HK Golden Age. Try The KILLER, and a film that makes
Tarantino seem tame: HARD BOILED.

Woo is too much. He relies on volume than on style. I love the
restaurant hallway gun battle in Better Tomato but not too keen on the
rest.

Some of my favorites there but also "Dodge this!":
Crossing the entrance-lobby when rescuing Morpheus in Matrix.
Short but sweetly choreographed bullet-ballet.

Also agree on some of the Hong Kong movies. There is one
perhaps a little newer in which two quite young /heroes/ , one
mistrusting the other, fight against many in and partly on the
side of a high apartment-building.
