John Woo, the famous action movie director, hasn't given up yet on making a movie based on Stranglehold. The game was originally developed by Woo along with Midway and was the sequel to his well-known bullet ballet classic Hard Boiled.

In an interview with Cinematical about his newest film, Red Cliff (amongst other things), the possible transfer of Stranglehold back to the big screen came up. The man had a short but clear answer:
When the interviewer asked whether we would be seeing a sequel to the game Woo also answered positive but due to lack of time it will take a while before we'll hear anything further.
Stranglehold wasn't a bad game, but some better overall quality would have helped a lot to make it better. Hopefully the man gets a second chance in the games industry as we really don't mind his movies at all!
