'Mean Guns' (1997) - Albert Pyun.

'Mean Guns' has its pleasingly simple, brutally ballistic premise energetically executed by high calibre B-Maestro Albert 'Nemesis' Pyun. To paraphrase the mighty Gang Starr...'Tons of Guns'!!! The 90s cult classic 'Mean Guns' still shoots ta' thrill! The main mean protagonist being the persistently pill-popping, part-time pappy, full-time Gun-happy chappy, borderline psycho hitman Lou (Christopher Lambert)an aggressively Alpha assassin, once the syndicate's number one body bag stuffer, but now number one on their hit list! And the equally mean, deadly knife-throwing Ice-T hungrily chews up the scenery as Lou's menacing, platinum-grilled nemesis Vincent Moon who so callously masterminded this hypnotic free-for-all firefight!

Time has been somewhat kinder to beloved action-master Pyun's hectic, entertainingly schlocky Shoot 'em up than to many other uniformly black suited, post-Tarantino bullet-blasted B-movie  bloodbaths. Severely reprimanded for their individual larcenies against the vengeful syndicate, a 100 duplicitous sharp-suited skells must steel themselves for a gloriously kinetic, gallopingly gruesome gun-battle trapped inside an oppressively pristine-looking locked-down prison, whereby the last three remaining shooters will walk away from the massacre with a million dollar bounty! 'Mean Guns' is slicker than a Columbian neck-tie, exuding a delirious Ringo Lam bellicosity, with an additionally funky Tech-Noir western cool which is pretty hard to resist!
