Hard Boiled 4K Ultra HD

In the 1980s and 1990s, director John Woo cemented his reputation as one of cinema’s greatest action filmmakers with classics including A Better Tomorrow, The Killer and Bullet in the Head. His remarkable run reached its peak in 1992 with Hard Boiled, the explosive masterpiece that remains the defining film of the Heroic Bloodshed genre.

Iconic star Chow Yun-Fat (City on Fire) plays Tequila, a fearless Hong Kong police officer determined to dismantle the criminal empire of ruthless triad boss Johnny Wong (Anthony Wong, Infernal Affairs), whose grip on the illegal arms trade threatens the city. As Johnny attempts to recruit elite assassin Ah-Long (Tony Leung, Bullet in the Head) from a rival syndicate, Tequila is removed from the investigation. Refusing to back down, he pursues the truth on his own, uncovering a web of betrayal, corruption and shifting loyalties that will ignite an all-out war.

Combining breathtaking action choreography, unforgettable performances and John Woo’s signature operatic style, Hard Boiled remains one of the greatest action films ever made. Newly restored in stunning 4K and loaded with an extensive collection of new and archival special features, this Special Edition is the ultimate celebration of a Hong Kong cinema masterpiece.
