What does it mean to be Wooworthy? Any action sequence in a movie not directed by John Woo that is worthy enough to be in a movie directed by John Woo.

EX. 1: DESPERADO. This movie is full of Wooworthy segments. In fact the whole damn movie is a big John Woo ripoff. Rent it only if THE KILLER is not in stock because it's almost the same movie only not as god.

EX 2: GROSSE POINT BLANK. It's nothing like a John Woo picture but there's a scene in a convenience store that is Wooworthy. In fact any action scene in which the characters fire at one another with a gun in each hand while jumping through the air as things explode around them is Wooworthy.

EX 3: RESERVOIR DOGS: The three-man Mexican standoff at the end is very Wooworthy. Tarantino has made a career of ripping off Hong Kong directors though.

EX 4: I hear there's a few Wooworthy scenes in BROKEN ARROW but I've yet to find them.

There's probably more out there, we're just yet to find any more great examples as of now.
