Chow Yun Fat's Neckwear








In the trailer of Replacment Killers, Chow Yun Fat's tie folds over his arm during a gun fight, in a manner that was so elegant, it made me want to see the movie.

The movie, itself, was a straight up HK style assassin movie. CYF plays an assassin with a soul, and Miro Sorvino is the passport forger who gets mixed up with him.

What the movie does lack is that seemingly prerequisite roll-in-the-sack during the quiet interlude scene right before the final climatic fight when they are hiding out in some seedy motel or other "safezone." I try not read too much into it, but I'm just saying...
