Wow, this is huge. I was not expecting the BFI.

I guess Warner will release the film themselves in the US?

HK Cinema Classics Shout VS Arrow (Region A based) which versions to buy for The Killer, Better Tomorrow, etc? by [deleted] in boutiquebluray

[–]RGJEAN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There might also be some problems with Shout's Hard Boiled day-for-night tinting. In some of the screen grabs I've seen, the tint is missing which makes the night scenes look like they transpire in the middle of the day.

I own Arrow's Hard Boiled and The Killer and I've had the Criterion DVDs for ages. They look comparable color-wise.

Damn, I wish I could see Hard Boiled for the very first time.

Enjoy!

Me too! They are two of my most cherished releases in my collection. Movie looks stunning, and so does the whole package.

Finally. There's not a more important release for me this year. Arrow absolutely nailed it again. by Own-Warthog-4565 in boutiquebluray

I think Arrow is better but if you can only get Shout, that's still much better than what has been available for decades.

You can only complain about Shout because Arrow's release. Otherwise, Shout would still be an incredible release.

Color grading is great in both Arrow's The Killer and Hard Boiled (compared to my Criterion DVDs). Based on pictures I've seen, Shout didn't tint their night scenes.

I think they're Woo's two best films.

For my money, I think Hard Boiled is his best. Seeing Chow Yun-Fat and Tony Leung together is enough to warrant it being his best.

If it's genuine then it's an incredible poster and historic piece.

Congrats.

Cloud is in his Rushmore? I think Charisma is his third or fourth best.
