GA Faculty Mentoring Awards Pictures
Here are some new pictures that were taken at the Graduate Assembly Faculty Mentoring Awards:
Woo Week 2012: BULLET IN THE HEAD (John Woo, 1990)
When three longtime friends (Tony Leung, Jacky Cheung, and Waise Lee) become involved in the death of a rival gang member, they are forced to leave Hong Kong in order to escape the police. Their only ticket out is a free ride to Saigon working as smugglers on the black market. But it is the late 1960s and, with Saigon embroiled in the madness of the Vietnamese war, it’s very much a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Woo Week 2012: HARD BOILED (John Woo, 1992)
Violence as poetry, rendered by a master – brilliant and passionate, John Woo’s HARD BOILED tells the story of a jaded detective nicknamed “Tequila” (played with controlled fury by Chow Yun-Fat). Woo’s dizzying odyssey through the world of Hong Kong Triads, undercover agents, and frenzied police raids culminates unforgettably in the breathless hospital sequence. More than a cops-and-bad-guys story, HARD BOILED continually startles with its originality and dark humor.
Co-sponsored by the UCLA Asia Institute
