![Hard Boiled [DVD] (1992)](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61itMz-efqL.jpg)

Yun Fat Chow, Tony Leung, Chiu Wai From John Woo, the director of Face Off and Broken Arrow, comes this high-octane roller coaster ride through the violent criminal underworld of Hong Kong. Inspector Yuen, nicknamed 'Tequila', is a courageous cop who shoots from both hips, never reloads and never misses. A tough guy with a soft spot and infinite charm, Tequila is the only man for the job of cleaning up the city, and when his partner is killed in a spectacular shoot-out he decides to take the investigation into his own lethal hands. With the body count well into three figures, more fire power than you can shake an Uzi at, stylised adrenalin pumping action sequences which make Hollywood blockbusters look like Bambi, this is Woo's most outrageous flick to date. Special Features Chapter/Scene Selection Trailer Review: Criterion edition. - I'm afraid that this edition is the best transfer available at the moment ( 28th May 2015) which is a real shame because at present it's $399.99 from desertcart. Com.I'm sure that you know the film inside out so I'll just give you the tech stuff. 126 mins, Cantonese Dolby digital mono, English Dolby digital mono (Dubbed), English subtitles.

A student film by Woo called Accidentally.1968,10 mins. A guide to Hong-Kong crime films by David Chute. Notes on Hard Boiled. If you're lucky enough to find this particular version second hand, snap that hand off. At the time of writing there is a Vivendi Visual edition that's affordable but apparently it suffers the same problematic transfer as all the other versions, which is such a shame as I think that this is no less worthy of proper bluray transfer as say Kurosawa, Park Chan -Wook or Scorsese. My own opinion, of course, I'm sure others may disagree. This particular edition has been out of print for ages, so good luck, it's well worth buying. Review: If you thought two handguns in slow motion was a Hollywood original idea... - Perfection from start to finish!

Brilliant john Woo classic. Ruined by dubbing.
Firstly, this to me this and The Killer, are the definitive John Woo films. Made relatively early in his career before Holywood heard of him. Full of super cool beautifully choreographed, almost balletic shoot outs. The film oozes that HK kinetic action style. Chow Yun-Fat is excellent to watch, as ever......BUT.....BUT.....this is the ridiculous dubbed version,which completely ruins the atmosphere, with awful american-english voice acting (where do they find these people??), hence the two stars. Do yourself a favour, pick up the undubbed version. And while your at it, pick up "The Killer" as well. Then you're all set for a good night in! Nobody does it like John Woo.
