The Video Game Sequel To One Of The Best Action Movies Ever Is On Sale For $2

Stranglehold lets you be the star of a John Woo action flick

Hard Boiled , the 1992 film from legendary director John Woo , is probably the best action movie ever made. What you might not know is that it has a sequel, but it isn’t a movie. In 2007, developer Midway and Woo released Stranglehold , an action video game that transfers the director’s signature cinematic flair to fascinating gameplay mechanics. Right now you can get it for just $1.99 on GOG, and let me tell you, it’s worth it.

If you’ve seen a Woo film, you’ll know that the director has a penchant for incredibly choreographed action scenes with slow-motion, dual-wielded weapons, and—yes—lots of doves flying around. One of the best aspects of Stranglehold is its decision to forgo the need to reload the many weapons you will use to take down enemies. Instead you start off with a hefty amount of ammo and run through levels, never needing to worry about resource scarcity.
