John Woo, nato Wu Yu-sen (cinese 吳宇森, pinyin Wú Yǔsēn) (Canton, 22 settembre 1946), è un regista e sceneggiatore hongkonghese, celebre per la regia di film d'azione. Considerato tra i maestri del cinema d'azione di Hong Kong, è divenuto noto in patria e a livello internazionale negli anni '80 grazie a cult come A Better Tomorrow (1986), A Better Tomorrow II (1987), The Killer (1989), Bullet in the Head (1990) e Hard Boiled (1992). Successivamente si è trasferito a Hollywood, dove ha girato blockbuster di successo come Nome in codice: Broken Arrow (1996), Face/Off (1997) e Mission: Impossible 2 (2000). Finito il periodo hollywoodiano, è tornato in Cina dirigendo film come il kolossal La battaglia dei tre regni - Red Cliff (2008). Nel 2010 gli è stato assegnato il Leone d'oro alla carriera alla Mostra del Cinema di Venezia. Wikipedia
