John Woo's Hard Boiled

I remember when this first came out on VHS with the only option being a Dutch release which a friend imported to the UK. When it arrived my friend had to work all day but let us take it away so we could watch it. We watched it twice back to back. It blew our minds.
A couple of years ago a different friend gave me a big box of VHS tapes and inside was that very same Dutch VHS.

I never expect it to be on par with other films as far as transfers go. I know by and large a lot of HK films, especially from the 60's, 70's, 80's and early 90's, are not stored well and would require a lot of money to restore them which I doubt anyone would since they're not big sellers. I go mad to get them but I know these releases aren't raking in the cash for companies.
On a side note, I wonder if A Better Tomorrow will find its way to Blu-ray?

Originally posted by Ian Jane View PostI like it better than The Killer. I know that's blasphemy to some but I always wind up comparing The Killer to Le Samourai and Le Samourai beats it. I don't do that with Hard Boiled, I just get to love it for what it is, rather than compare it to what it isn't.It's not going to suck itself...
