Masterful Hong Kong action director John Woo (The Killer, Face/Off) turns in this exciting and pyrotechnic tale of warring gangsters and shifting loyalties. Chow Yun-Fat (The Replacement Killers) plays a take-no-prisoners cop on the trail of the Triad, the Hong Kong Mafia, when his partner is killed during a gun battle. His guilt propels him into an all-out war against the gang, including an up-and-coming soldier in the mob (Tony Leung) who turns out to be an undercover cop. The two men must come to terms with their allegiance to the force and their loyalty to each other as they try to take down the gangsters. A stunning feast of hyperbolic action sequences (including a climactic sequence in an entire hospital taken hostage), Hard Boiled is a rare treat for fans of the action genre, with sequences as thrilling and intense as any ever committed to film. --Robert Lane


Brilliant - a must for action fans!

Along with 'The Killer' and 'A Better Tomorrow', this is the best collection of Chow Yun Fat/John Woo action films. Remember though, WATCH WITH SUBTITLES ONLY, DO NOT WATCH WITH DUBBED VOICEOVERS! And that goes for any foreign film!

i'm now in my 3rd year of DVD ownership, and yet i am still amazed at how great films can be mauled by distribution companies when released onto this superb format. a few years ago metro-tartan were to be lauded for releasing hard boiled as pan-and-scan dubbed AND widescreen subtitled on VHS. a choice that we could make as to which format suited our style of viewing. fast forward to the digital age....it looks like they picked this print from the bin, my 5 year old vhs transfer is cleaner! where's the use of the flexibilty that DVD allows? cant both versions of this film occupy the same disc? i love the cinema of vengence genre,i love this film, i love most john woo/chow yun fat films, but this version is an absolute disgrace and travesty... NOT BUY THIS DVD...BUY THE VHS VERSION

Hard Boiled is quite possibly the 2nd best action film ever made, only bettered by John Woo's Amazing 'The Killer' this is one film you have to own if you are a fan of the Action genre, this DVD version may have no widescreen and the dubbing is slightly cheezy but if you watch it in its original Cantonese with english subtitles it is absolutely outstanding!

Extraordinary film - not dvd...

Fine, so the medium isn't used to the best of it's abilities, but the film is still incredible. The dubbing isn't that bad (but "fine, you ass-head" did make us laugh)and the quality is incredible. Buy it. Now. Face Off didn't ever really stand a chance.
