John Woos mest ikoniska och explosiva film Hard Boiled levererar hårdkokt gangsteraction där varje eldstrid är en uppvisning i precision och vansinne. Kulor flyger och kroppar faller när ingen längre vet vem som går att lita på.<br/><br/>In the 80s and 90s, director John Woo would cement his reputation as a master of action films with classics like A Better Tomorrow, The Killer and Bullet in the Head. This would culminate in 1992 with the release of his masterpiece Hard Boiled, the hyperkinetic, hyperviolent exemplar of the Heroic Bloodshed genre.<br/><br/>Iconic actor Chow Yun-Fat (City on Fire) stars as Tequila, a gung-ho cop working to bring down Johnny Wong (Anthony Wong, Infernal Affairs), the villainous triad boss who maintains a stranglehold on Hong Kong's illegal gun trade. Johnny attempts to recruit Ah-Long (Tony Leung, Bullet in the Head), an assassin from a rival syndicate, just as the insubordinate Tequila gets taken off the case. Taking justice into his own hands, Tequila tracks Ah-Long down and uncovers an intricate web of deception that threatens to boil over into all-out war.<br/><br/>A fiery coalescence of electrifying performances, elaborate narrative and operatic gunfights, Hard Boiled has rightly been exalted as the undisputed champion of Hong Kong action films, ready to unleash a hail of bullets anew in this stunning restoration exploding with extras.<br/><br/>LIMITED EDITION BLU-RAY CONTENTS<br/>Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Tony Stella <br/>Double-sided foldout poster featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Tony Stella <br/>Collectors' booklet featuring new writing on the film by Priscilla Page and archival writing and an interview with John Woo by Stéphane Moïssakis <br/>Six postcard-sized artcards<br/><br/>DISC ONE - FEATURE AND EXTRAS<br/>High Definition (1080p) Blu-ray presentation<br/>Original lossless Cantonese mono and Dolby Atmos audio, and English mono audio <br/>Optional newly translated English subtitles for the Cantonese soundtracks and optional English for the deaf and hard of hearing subtitles for the English soundtrack <br/>Brand new audio commentary with director John Woo and film journalist Drew Taylor <br/>Brand new audio commentary with film historian Frank Djeng <br/>Archival audio commentary with John Woo and producer Terence Chang <br/>Archival audio commentary with John Woo, Terence Chang, film critic Dave Kehr and filmmaker Roger Avary <br/>Deleted and extended scenes <br/>Original trailers <br/>Image gallery<br/><br/>DISC TWO - EXTRAS<br/>Violent Night, a brand new interview with John Woo <br/>Boiling Over, a brand new interview with actor Anthony Wong <br/>No Room for Failure, a brand new interview with Terence Chang <br/>Hard To Resist, a brand new interview with screenwriter Gordon Chan <br/>Boiled to Perfection, a brand new interview with screenwriter Chan Hing-Ka <br/>Body Count Blues, a brand new interview with composer Michael Gibbs <br/>Hong Kong Confidential: Inside Hard Boiled, a brand new interview with author and Hong Kong cinema expert Grady Hendrix <br/>Gun-Fu Fever, a brand new interview with author Leon Hunt <br/>Chewing the Fat, a brand new interview with academic Lin Feng <br/>American Cinematheque 2025 Q&A with John Woo <br/>The Test of Time, an archival documentary featuring interviews with John Woo, Terence Chang, editor David Wu and actor/stunt coordinator Philip Kwok<br/>Archival interviews with actors Chow Yun-Fat and Tony Leung<br/><br/><i>Typ: Blu-ray / Limited Edition</i>
