Bullet in the Head is a 1990 movie by John Woo. A radical assault on the senses, Bullet in the Head portrays the distressing escapades of several friends cajoled, through a random act of violence, into sacrificing the idyllic innocence of youth to fanaticism & injustice of the Vietnam war. Woos original cut of the film ran over three hours long. Golden Princess demanded that Woo cut the film down to a commercially viable length. The original theatrical version still remained massively edited from Woos final cut. The German version, although rated 18, is heavily cut. In 1997 the German distributor re-released the film on video as an uncut version. Tai Seng VHS tape & the original Hong Kong laserdisc runs 120 minutes with many scenes omitted, notably the finale & is missing end credits. Made in Hong Kong VHS from Britain & DVD from Media Asia is the longest version of the film available. It runs 126 minutes. The finale & the end credits are intact. In 2001, the film was released uncut on DVD in Germany.

In this amazingly powerful film John Woo takes us on one hell of a ride. Based on 3 friends wanting to live the high life comes an epic tale through the vietnam war, huge action scenes & of course a lot of duel pistols & slow motion!

This is my favourite John Woo movie, I rate higher than Hard Boiled & even The Killer. I can not rate this film high enough & the dvd has been a long time coming but its finnally here!
