All Morrissey Needs Is John Woo

A tipster sent in what may be the antecedent to Morrissey’s baby-toting artwork for his forthcoming album Years Of Refusal, the cover for various DVD and video editions of the 1992 John Woo flick Hard Boiled. (Notes on the film itself: 230 people die! There is a “cheesy” sax and keyboard-heavy score! Also, “The baby he is carrying famously extinguishes the flames on his leg by pissing down his trousers!”) I don’t know about you guys, but the gun toted by Chow Yun-Fat in the picture at left makes me wonder what the rejected candidates for the items in Moz’s other arm could have been.

    @MayhemintheHood: Hard Boiled is seriously awesome, one of the few great films John Woo ever made. 230 people do die, most of them in a 30 minute shootout in a hospital that ends the movie. Couldn’t we also include a reference to that Prodigy song where he talks about sitting alone in his room watching Hard Boiled?
