60 of 181 · most liked firstMovie recommendation for tonight, Hardcore Henry An absurdly silly first person action movie, come for the goofy over the top violence, stay for the surprise Sharlto Copley musical number.
positive · AI labelView post →experience (look/sound/taste/smell/feel) the real memories through cyberpunk technomagic, which in itself cool and influential, but set a trend that we're still seeing explored today (not that Hardcore Henry was a good film). Fun fact: James Cameron created an 8lb camera for these shots. >
neutral · AI labelView post →we have the action movie that feels like the music video for Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up (It's Hardcore Henry) but do we have the horror movie?
neutral · AI labelView post →#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #Filmsky 📽️ - LAW ABIDING CITIZEN is hilariously dumb and has zero likable characters. I love it. - SORCERER rules, definitely underappreciated - X understands that the elderly are disgusting - HARDCORE HENRY is the best movie to use that gimmick (I think?)
positive · AI labelView post →We wont have a good videogame movie until someone hands the people who did Hardcore Henry the DooM license and like a 100 million $$$ just this shit but times a 1000 and the whole movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Testing a POV camera rig. Interesting that positioning the camera near one's mouth looks better than over the eyes, a tip I picked up from an article by the makers of Hardcore Henry, a first person action film
neutral · AI labelView post →Hardcore Henry|2015 www.imdb.com/title/tt3072... 📽️ #NowWatching #filmsky ·Henry is resurrected from death with no memory, and he must save his wife from a telekinetic warlord with a plan to bio-engineer soldiers·
neutral · AI labelView post →Recently rewatched Hardcore Henry after a very long time and had some very great takeaways. The movie is very clearly a masculine power fantasy, asking the viewer to be the protagonist to an extent, and ended up giving us an accidental critique of patriarchy. Oh and it has plural representation.
positive · AI labelView post →No one. Shoot the whole film from first person POV like HARDCORE HENRY (or the "Smack My Bitch Up" music video if you're nasty) and we never see his face. #filmsky #scriptsky
neutral · AI labelView post →A billions dollar budget DooM movie directed by the people who did Hardcore Henry with all practical effects if possible. And staring that mountain of a man from Reacher as DooMguy. Or a John Carpenter directed adaptation of DooM 3
neutral · AI labelView post →Share an ACTION movie title that begins with the letter “H” 🎥 H is for HARDCORE HENRY (2015).

neutral · AI labelView post →watched Hardcore Henry last night after having owned it for years unwatched. y'know, i understand why this movie wasn't for everyone, but it sure as hell was for me. The bit with the horse was great. 😆
positive · AI labelView post →It's the first Action/Horror movie entirely shot in First Person View. Think Hardcore Henry, which came out 2 years later, but instead of a sci-fi element it's balls to walls horror and gore!!! 👌🏻
neutral · AI labelView post →@brideofstonehomie.bsky.social and I are watching Hardcore Henry tonight, why didn't anyone tell me this movie was fantastic?
positive · AI labelView post →Watched Hard Boiled. Welcome John Woo, to the highest honor of "You evoke the same feeling of Hardcore Henry"
neutral · AI labelView post →Reminder it is the only character pack colab still available for purchase besides Jacket, as Scarface, Jimmy (from Hardcore Henry), John Wick and Bodhi (from Point Break) all got deleted from the game (unless you played the game before the movie license content got removed).
neutral · AI labelView post →Hardcore Henry is the best video game movie despite not being based on anything in particular.
positive · AI labelView post →including tonight's viewing, i have probably watched and enjoyed HARDCORE HENRY more than anyone involved in the production of the movie

[Hardcore Henry](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3072482) [Doomsday](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0483607) [Death Race](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0452608) On the off chance someone doesn't know them: the [Machete](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0985694) movies A little more thriller-y are the [Cube](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0123755) movies although the first is the best by far.
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight's new movie was Hardcore Henry. What a fuckin' awesome, action packed bro movie. And, turns out, fairly relevant to the self-canon I've been working on.
positive · AI labelView post →Just finished watching Hardcore Henry. That movie is absolutely unhinged. Off the wall. Ludicrous. Smiled the whole time.
positive · AI labelView post →There's a few fun action sequences in this, but like. this kinda aged like milk in many, many ways. This feels like a film some mid-tier game would have an oddly in depth crossover with ala Payday 2 and Hardcore Henry, and tbh I mean that derogatorily.
negative · AI labelView post →Would love a Hardcore Henry game…I mean…the movie itself is first person view!
neutral · AI labelView post →That worked really well for “Hardcore Henry”. Love it. Trailer: m.youtube.com/watch?v=96EC...

neutral · AI labelView post →Hardcore Henry One of the greatest action films to ever do it, all from the perspective of Henry like an FPS. Shoutouts to Sharlto Copley, his performance as Jimmy is my favorite part. My Woman and Don't Stop Me Now needle drops were on point btw. It's hard(core) kino every time
positive · AI labelView post →Why can’t we have an actually good DOOM movie but also shot like Hardcore Henry?
neutral · AI labelView post →somehow not the first feature length film i’ve seen that’s entirely shot in first person, beaten to the punch by 2015 action romp Hardcore Henry
neutral · AI labelView post →Hardcore Henry is just FPS Shooter, the movie. A very fun ride all throughout. Also Surprisingly gory. Sadly there will never be an FPS game that lives up to the quality of the film.
positive · AI labelView post →Animorning Challenge: Animate on reference! Hardcore Henry is my favorite stupid-action-movie ever so I had to animate a scene. Did a ton of techniques for the first time, still one of my favorite projects! #animation
neutral · AI labelView post →Spent the entire first half of the video thinking "Man, I wish more people had watched Hardcore Henry, this would be the perfect movie to bring up!"
neutral · AI labelView post →It's brutal as brutal can be. It's a Hardcore Henry type of film but turned upside down...
neutral · AI labelView post →I somehow missed it in the movie proper, but the credits had a line in there about a poster for the movie, "Lady in the Lake" - that'd be a 1947 Philip Marlowe adaptation that was also filmed (almost) entirely from one character's POV. Like Hardcore Henry, it was also not well received at the time.
neutral · AI labelView post →30) Hardcore Henry If you're looking for a film to sit back and enjoy the ride this does it's job decently well. The main appeal is that it's all in first person and the camera work and choreography is good even if it wares off after a while. Good movie even if I don't feel like revisiting it.
neutral · AI labelView post →Hardcore Henry Probably the entire point of the movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Hardcore Henry: I had seen this before but its just a really fun movie that feels like an FPS campaign. Neat concept but not doing anything new storywise. Jimmy is great 7/10
positive · AI labelView post →Tonight's movie night is Hardcore Henry (2015).
neutral · AI labelView post →I did worry for a minute that the whole movie was found footage, and I was honestly about to lose it. This still isn't what I'd call a movie or a story, nor is it populated by what I would call characters or people, but at least it's not just VHS Hardcore Henry for 2+ hrs 😑 'Woof' to #Backrooms 😖
neutral · AI labelView post →When I say that HARDCORE HENRY is the "best possible" attempt at a first-person-only action movie, I mean that the movie does basically everything that could be done with the concept without becoming an unwieldy, unwatchable mess. Adding prestige or a better story would not "improve" this movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Just like in the hit movie Hardcore Henry
neutral · AI labelView post →Terrible #movie, but it needed adding to the #ReelRank database, and I needed that XP 🤤 reelrank.net/m/hardcore-h... Hardcore Henry. Released in Russia prior to America, if that tells you anything. Some people love it! They're so wrong, though. It's bad 😆 #FilmSky 📽️ #MovieSky 🎞️
negative · AI labelView post →go full Hardcore Henry with a Half Life movie and keep the first person perspective
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh this movie is 100% a "Pizza and Booze" fun time film. Just like "Guns Akimbo","Hardcore Henry", or those "Kingsmen" movies! I'm loving the fight choreography. Please go watch this movie. (If you can stand some CRAZY violence)
neutral · AI labelView post →#foundfootage fans know of HARDCORE HENRY when it comes to POV movies. Have you heard of these? EYES OF THE DEAD- zombie outbreak from the eyes of a survivor. GRACE- possession movie from inside. FPS- live action revenge shooter game. YOU ARE NOT ALONE- stalker/slasher seen through the victim.
neutral · AI labelView post →With the review embargo lifted for #HeadsofState, the new Ilya Naishuller action/comedy/thriller starring John Cena, Idris Elba, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Jack Quaid, Paddy Considine, and more. As a fan of HARDCORE HENRY & NOBODY, I was expecting some fun, but this film has political teeth, too.
neutral · AI labelView post →You should check out the movie Hardcore Henry 😉
neutral · AI labelView post →I think I cracked the code on how you could do a good Doom movie without it becoming Hardcore Henry with demons or giving Doomguy a voice: Make Doomguy DAIMAJIN.
neutral · AI labelView post →Sometimes i think about that one time i saw that first person movie, Hardcore Henry, and literally the only thing that stood out to me was a Russian dude with the THICKEST russian accent telking Henry he's "half machine-half pussy"
neutral · AI labelView post →Don't mind me just plugging my Letterboxd after putting 2 'reviews' on movies I recently watched and liked. Hardcore Henry and Wild Country.
neutral · AI labelView post →First movie I finished watching this year. #HardcoreHenry is definitely an action movie for the Twitch generation. It's good sometimes because of and sometimes despite its gimmick, which gets old real fast. #FilmSky #Movies #ActionMovies
neutral · AI labelView post →"Quote post with one of your favorite films that isn't a huge hit, let's get to know each other a bit more". Hardcore Henry. An entirely First Person film shot with 3 GoPros on a helmet & stunts performed by the director. This film is insane fun & almost no one knows it exists, which is criminal.
positive · AI labelView post →Introduce yourself with: One book: Darkfall One film: Hardcore Henry One album: Before These Crowded Streets One TV show: Westworld
neutral · AI labelView post →Annnnnd we're back to Hardcore Henry 🤦♀️ WHAT A FUCKING CHORE THIS MOVIE IS! You can lock this in for an appearance on my 1.0 Films Reel. I've almost never hated a movie I've reviewed this much. I'm fucking furious, esp now that we're back to this unwatchable garbage again 🤢 #FilmSky 🎥 #Backrooms 🧵
negative · AI labelView post →And if you're new here, I'm a HARDCORE HENRY evangelist. So don't try convincing me otherwise. I was already in love with the movie when it bombed in the theater.
positive · AI labelView post →You laugh, but a military flavored version of Hardcore Henry would actually slap pretty hard. But really the only way to make a CoD movie make sense to turn the IP into a film.
neutral · AI labelView post →Bloody 'ell, Hardcore Henry is pretty much Tarkov: The Movie huh
neutral · AI labelView post →Just watched Hardcore Henry for the first time and damn what a movie. youtu.be/Ph5YmTDDdVI
positive · AI labelView post →I have a weird reaction sometimes: I laugh. I'm sure it's easy to explain psychologically, but it's not like hysterical from fear, it's like joy. (Don't worry, I'm not actually violent in real life! But I like dark shit.) The movie Hardcore Henry was some of the most fun I've had in my life! 🤪
positive · AI labelView post →Dreamt that my girlfriend and I watched Daft Punk’s The Act Of Killing, which we checked out from the library. We were pondering which scenes were real and which were re-enactments until the film ended with a Hardcore Henry esque go-pro sequence narrated by an unimpressed Werner Herzog
