message: Deleted this part: "the world was not just filled with violence and suffering; it could be beautiful and happy as well." This is totally irrelevant and ridiculously cheesy as well.

message: :When Woo's Christian parents were faced with persecution from the Cultural Revolution, his family fled to Hong Kong when he was five years old.
That would mean that Woo left around 51.  Isn't the Cultural Revolution generally dated from around 65 or 66? I think it suffices to say that his parents were persecuted by the Communist government, which, being Christian, was possible long before the Cultural Revolution. --69.143.128.152 10:59, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)

message: I love John Woo, but much of this article feels far too POV. Is "The Killer" really considered "the perfect action film" by anyone other than fans? Who has determined that "Broken Arrow" was "a deeply disappointing film that lacked Woo's trademark style?" By what standards is "Face/Off" "the perfect American vehicle for Woo?" And while it certainly did not turn a profit, I feel it is stretch to claim "Paycheck" was a "disastrous failure." --Feitclub 21:06, Sep 11, 2004 (UTC)
Agreed. I've already started paring this down into something suitable for Wikipedia. Khanartist 04:19, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: I would have to agree that most of the article seems to glorify Woo, but perhaps it is justified considering he has made a great impact on both Chinese and American film making. Perhaps the use of the word "perfect" can be avoided or strictly attributed to fan reviews. ~ Wave of Mutilation 04:27, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Killer has a rating of 100% on Rottentomatoes.com. It is indeed the perfect action film. Can't quite dispute that. - Jim 09:26, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: 100% on RT is not a "perfect" score. Only those registered on RT is liable and does not express the views of others. And glorifying is against Wiki rules... we'll have to edit it or "cite it as".--sin-man 10:34, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

message: The article currently says he worked on the documentary Men of Atalissa. However, the Men of Atalissa article makes no mention of this, and news articles about the documentary speaks of what would seem to be a different John Woo -- "John Woo, senior staff editor for video at the Times and former editor with POV Digital."
