“REO'S Classic Theatre host Red Robinson takes a ride in N: Van's Indian River Tack Shop during filming for Sunday’s KVOS 12 feature: The Ballad of Cabie Hogue. SATURDAY ® MOVIE «4k The Killer (Hong Kong 1989) (Showease channel 24, 11:15 p.m.) Seminal Hong Kong cinema from director John Woo starring Chow Yun-Fat and Sally Yeh. A professional hit man befriends a singer he accidentally blinded during a gua baile. Jenny Yabroff in Salon writes “Often described as ‘blood operas,” Woo’s films are extravagant celebrations of blood and violence, with body counts climbing into the triple digits long, before the inevitable climactic shootout. Yet at their core, Woo’s films grapple with difficulr moral dilemmas that sometimes remain unanswered even as the credits roll. Woo's trademark element is his leading men — impeccably clegant, they reveal their humanity as they struggle to overcome their baser instincts. Before Tarantino imagined Vincent Vega, he saw Woo’s stylish hit man, Jettery Chow, played with stoic grace by Woo favorite Chow Yun-Fat.” The Killer is one of the great works of Hong Kong's golden age. SUNDAY tides into North Van ‘Avenue’s Indian River ‘as close as ‘Vancouver store is ‘owned by: lorris ‘and two weeks “Red was an absolute pleasure to be around,” said Morris. “He was charming {and) very professional.” Robinson, a local radio legend, spent an entire day at the store shooting and re-shoot- ing bits “I couldn’t believe how much work went inte one little store,” said Morris. “They worked the whole day but there were lots of laughs.” Show time for the screening of the Peckinpah- -directed Ballad of Cable Hogue starring Jason Robards and Stella Stevens is Sunday, Aug. 30 at 8 pan m. on channel 12 : (05).
