Hard Boiled (1992)



John Woo directed this highly influential Hong Kong action movie. In this scene, Officers "Tequila" Yuen (Chow Yun-Fat) and Alan take on triad gang members in a hospital. Note the 2 minute and 42 second long continuous take with a hand held camera, combining incredibly complex action choreography and emotional dialogue spanning two floors and an elevator ride.
