John Woo Presents: Stranglehold Collector's Edition

John Woo and video games finally collided properly, and the Collector's Edition documented every bullet. The John Woo Presents: Stranglehold Collector's Edition on Xbox 360 packed in "Poetry in Slow Motion," an extended making-of covering the collaboration with Woo himself, plus "Vision of Stranglehold" detailing the game's visual development, "Sound of Stranglehold" exploring the music and voice talent, extended cinematic sequences, and storyboard features showcasing scenes that Woo and storyboard artist Trevor Goring loved but ultimately cut from the final product. This is essentially a film school supplement disguised as a game extra.

Stranglehold was positioned as a direct sequel to Hard Boiled, giving it a cinematic lineage that no other 360 shooter could claim. The cut storyboard sequences are the collector's highlight, offering a window into creative decisions that shaped the final game. Woo's fingerprints are all over this edition, and for collectors who appreciate the intersection of cinema and gaming, it's one of the more unique packages the 360 generation produced.
