Hard Boiled (1992) - Full Movie 1080p Theatrical Cut - John Woo, Chow Yun Fat, Tony Leung

I will be taking this video down once the Shout Factory 4K UHD release is available (or when Shout takes it down for me lol) - I'm glad people were able to experience Hard Boiled for the first time through here, but I want Shout's efforts to restore the Golden Princess library to instead be highlighted and supported financially so official restorations can keep coming. The 4K restorations of this and City on Fire are already available for pre-order on digital platforms such as Vudu, so it's only a matter of time.

Directed by John Woo, starring Chow Yun-Fat and Tony Leung. A must-watch action masterpiece. Thumbnail art by Tony Stella. Sourced from the Hong Kong Rescue bootleg. I've only uploaded this as this version might be hard to find for some folks, and the it was already hard to find as the runner of the operation would take forever to ship, or not ship at all. Recently they shut down entirely without a word.

Subtitles are OCRed, also from the HKR boot. If there are any issues with them (such as random errors, I don't know Cantonese so I wouldn't be able to fix translation errors), let me know with a timestamp and I'll fix it.

(update: the below information is not true anymore, as Shout Factory has acquired the Golden Princess library!)


Great and brief explanation as to why this and other HK films (like The Killer) doesn't have a readily available good release yet:

To the rights holders: I obviously don't own this film - take it down if you want. Release it on 4K first though, with all the bells and whistles: original mono, no DNR.. etc. Pretty please with a cherry on top
