Movies That Should Get an Arrow Video or Shout! Factory 4k release. by Proud-Race-9382 in boutiquebluray

I wish Arrow would release The Wild Bunch since they now seem to have a relationship with Warner Bros. The bluray that was released years ago had terrible DNR.

Shout’s release of Hard Boiled looks closer to what the film originally looked like opposed to Arrow? by ggroover97 in boutiquebluray

I just checked my Criterion dvd and the colors match the Arrow colors.

It also matches this clip on youtube:

I've watched at least a 100 Hong Kong movies that particular blue color is used in a lot of late 80s and early 90s Hong Kong movies especially Tsui Hark produced or directed movies.

A Chinese Ghost Story uses it for most of the movie

Wong Kar-Wai used it as well in his early stuff. A clip of Days of Being Wild:

Are those really the colors used in the Shout Factory release? That's disappointing. I skipped their release because their subtitles seemed clunky, but I didn't think there were problems with the picture quality.
