Chow Yun Fat

13/10/2020: Recently saw a video about 'The replacement killers' directed Antoine Fuqua via youtube by Joblo movies. There's a part where he talks about how the director and the studio clashed heads and unfortunately creator differences in producing this movie. Fuqua wanted to make an all out action thriller like the John Woo movies but the studio wanted a washed up b movie flick so was held back due to budget and creative differences. 

Damn shame because Fuqua can direct action, wonder what the film would have looked like if he had full control of it and budget.
