Inspector Tequila - John Woo's Hard Boiled

Gotta find a use for my gas can head.... so this is the end result.

Time flies & i think this year marks the 20th anniversary of John Woo's high octane cinematic bullet fest 'Hard Boiled' starring Chow Yuen Fatt, Tony Leung etc.

It's somewhat disappointing that there had been no accurate rendition of Chow's movie character Inspector Tequila; a shoot first & don't even bother to ask questions later bad-ass cop by any 1/6 manufacturers all these years.

Somehow, Armoury's release of 1/6 Fatt's lookalike SDU figure some years back still didn't manage to hit the mark of a movie accurate Tequila.

Hopefully with ZC World's recent preview of 'A Better Tomorrow' Mark Gor 1/6 figure in the works, we could look forward to future releases of Fatt in 'The Killer' or even Inspector Tequila.....

In the meantime, Loading Toys gas can Fatt lookalike h/s certainly came closest to nailing the Hard Boiled Tequila look. Too bad most of the parts from my kitbash are only close resemblances & not totally movie accurate. One can only hope for a proper 1/6 box release in time to come.
