*** Hardboiled and The Killer are among the most naive outgrowth of the 007 movies***????????
How in the world did you arrive at that conclusion?
Films like Our Man Flint, The Liquidator, and The Silencers are first-generation spin-offs of the Bond movies. Flicks like The Ipcris File show perhaps two degrees of separation; the Frank Sinatra "Tony Rome" detective series a third degree of separation; and television series such as The Man from U.N.C.L.E. a fourth degree of separation. If you can show a link between Hard Boiled, which is a Hong Kong/Hollywood crossover cop/buddy flick with kung fu roots to the Bond movies I would love to see it!
As far as your assertion that Ronin is superior to Hard Boiled... I won't argue with you although I totally disagree with you. One cannot argue with preferences.
Still, I guess that's why you collect swords and I collect rare and first edition books.
