Desi este nascut in China, John Woo a crescut in Hong Kong, unde si-a si inceput cariera ca asistent de regizor in 1969, lucrand pentru Shaw Brothers Studios. Primul film regizat de el a fost in 1973, fiind un regizor prolific inca de atunci, lucrand la mai multe genuri de film inainte de a realiza A Better Tomorrow (1986), cand si-a stabilit reputatia de maestru stilist si specialist in filme cu gangsteri ultra-violente si thrillere, foarte elaborate in scene de actiune ce-ti taie respiratia. Dupa ce si-a castigat reputatia in Statele Unite cu The Killer (1989), Woo a primit un contract la Hollywood, planuind sa ramana si sa lucreze in Statele Unite.
