Hard Boiled (1992) Opening. (Hong Kong Rescue Edition)

This is the opening ten minutes of the extremely iconic John Woo film, Hard Boiled. This particular excerpt was clipped from the Hong Kong Rescue edition of the film, which restores and fixes up the issues inherent in the official releases of the film. The subtitles are from the same restoration, and are burned in to ensure that it can be understood with the original audio much easier.

Note, Hong Kong Rescue has some level of infamy for not shipping out Blu Rays to buyers. I did receive my order, which means I'm either lucky or the people behind it have gotten things back in gear. If you're interested in getting these restorations and don't want to risk not getting Blu-Ray's, I'd encourage getting the digital downloads instead. Regardless, until Criterion or some other well respected film restoration experts perform Blu-Ray restorations of John Woo's films from the original negative, with Mr Woo's assistance, this is as good as it gets. So enjoy.
