A group of mercenaries capture a drug Lord n r retreating but r met with fierce reciprocation by the drug lord's men, along the way they save a girl n injure a sadistic Vietnamese colonel, thereby creating more enemies on the trail.
The film has tons of action, lots of explosions, bullets, machine guns, grenades, etc but the film is filled with atrocious acting n horrendous editing.
There is a scene where the crime lord keeps throwing pieces of a pendant while being driven in a jeep a la Hansel n Greetel style, where his men somehow catches with him on foot. In one scene a person is seen holding a woman's body then suddenly in another he is busy shooting. Before a grenade hits the ground/target, people jump as if they r blown away. The film has two lousy sex scenes that too directly out of the blue. The child's idea of burrowing himself when engulfed by fire all around is lol. I felt sad for the American soldier who was living peacefully in the middle of nowhere, that too with three beautiful chicks.
That being said, if you're looking for plenty of John Woo shoot-em-up action presented within a fairly short runtime, I think Heroes Shed No Tears delivers. It's very direct, and quite scrappily made in parts, but a good deal of the big set pieces prove to be visceral and engaging.
It's ultimately a little disposable, and I feel like his 1990 film Bullet in the Head scratches a similar itch, but much more effectively. Yet this still delivers for fans of Woo, and honestly rode the line between a 3/5 and a 3.5/5 for me throughout (but I still think I'm going to round down here, at the end of the day).
Just the other day
And I sat there in awe
As it blew me away.
It was made by John Woo
Who is now a sell out
His fans he does screw
As the cash they shell out.
So get a six-pack
Full of cold, frosty beers
And then sit back
For Heroes Shed No Tears
Watch with devotion
This huge action feast
With enough blood to fill an ocean
To say the frickin' least
Our heroes in this tale
Are a group of Mercs
Who blast folks all to hell
'Specially drug lord jerks
There's fighting, there's stabbing
There's nuking, there's looting
There's biting, there's grabbing
There's puking, there's shooting
Punches are thrown
Black soldiers are eaten
Eyeballs are sewn
Children are beaten
A fight goes on
With nails and a tire
Our hero loses his son
Almost in a fire
There's tons of dying
But where the film falters
Is all the damn crying
Like it was Barbara Walters
When our hero does cry
It gets really lame
For the movie does lie
With its very own name
But please do not fret
It does little harm
And I'll make you a bet
About the scene with the arm
If you do not jump
When the dude gets the spears
Shoved straight up his rump
You've drunk too much beers
And if you don't find it nice
When the hut does explode
After the role of a dice
Then you're a humorless toad
So get off your fat ass
And get the hell out of here
Cuz you'll have a damn blast
With Heroes Shed No Tears

- TriviaTo simulate bullet hits on walls, grass, etc., instead of using squibs, spots were marked for snipers to shoot on, even when actors were near. This method (which is common practice in Thailand, where this movie was shot) was used, because the setting up of squibs were thought to be too time consuming. Actor Eddy Ko still has a scar on his chest because one bullet ricocheted and hit him there.
