Arrow Video UK 4K UHD Blu-ray Synopsis: 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. 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. 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.

Views: I remember the first time I ever saw Hard Boiled. Well, a clip of Hard Boiled. It was showing on the BBC show, Film '92 (or '94), which was hosted by Barry Norman. I can remember him giving a mixed response while a clip of the insane, not to mention hugely impressive, warehouse shoot-out played. As my mouth hung open in disbelief at the amazing action, I couldn't understand why he had some negative things to say about it, but really – if you knew Barry Norman – you'd know that Hong Kong cinema was not this man's forte. Regardless, I was hooked and could not wait to get my hands on a copy of this new incredible action movie. But it would be another year or two before I did, eventually getting my hands on an awesome ex-rental VHS from Tartan Video – which still sits proudly in my collection today. Now, while I would love to have seen this on the big screen back in the 90s, that video tape was all I had for my first full experience of Hard Boiled and it blew me away! Mind you, today I have 11different copies of the film, with the new 4K UHD Blu-ray release from Arrow Video being the latest and hopefully last, as it proves to be the best release to date of this fantastic film. Of course, this itself is a relaunch of Shout Factory's original 4K UHD release, as Arrow Video are the UK distributors for their Golden Princess titles, with this and their previous releases of City on Fire (1987) and Peking Opera Blues (1986) only proving that the extra time spent on picture quality, sound and subtitles helped put them ahead of the original release. It's absolutely gorgeous!

 

Hard Boiled was shot over 123 days in 1991, and released in Hong Kong cinemas in April of the following year. Debuting at number 3 at the Hong Kong box office, coming in just after Once Upon A Time In China 2 and Fight Back To School 2, the film made almost 20 million HKD which was just a little more than Woo's previous release of The Killer. During the planning of the production, Michelle Yeoh was initially set to play a female detective alongside Chow Yun Fat – what a very different film that would have been, and one I'd love to have seen. It's original story would have seen Tony Leung play a psychopath who poisoned babies, but after some feedback from producer Terence Chang and further discussion, production was delayed while a new story was created. At the same time, Woo and Chang caught wind of an old teahouse that was set to be demolished. Quickly, they got to work creating the awesome opening scene shoot-out – one of the most incredible moments from any of John Woo's action movies – that took just one week to shoot. Working with the great Philip Kwok Choi, the pair choreograph an incredible scene that still holds up as strong to this day. In fact, this particular action scene is just as impressive, if not more, than most Hollywood action films' grand finales (and even some Hong Kong ones). I mean, it's crazy to think what they managed to pull off in that time, and all while dealing with multiple visits from triads harassing them for protection money. The film was written by the great Barry Wong Ping Yiu, the very same man behind most Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung classics, as well as titles like A Fistful of Talons (1983), Mr. Vampire (1985), Righting Wrongs (1986), Outlaw Brothers (1990), A Kid from Tibet (1992) and more. Unfortunately, after writing the first part of the script, Wong went on holiday to Germany where he would die after having a heart attack. Prolific in his writings having worked with everyone from Woo, Jackie, Sammo, Tsui Hark, Wong Jing, Stephen Chow Sing Chi and more, Barry Wong also made small appearances throughout his career in films like Winners & Sinners (1983), The Killer (1989), Curry & Pepper (1990), Island of Fire (1990) and many more. As a thank you, John Woo dedicated this incredible action classic to the man himself. Throughout the rest of the production, the script for the film went through many changes with Woo and others creating the story as the production ran on, bringing in Fist of Legend (1994) director Gordon Chan to help as an uncredited writer. Scenes and characters would be added just days before shooting, and others deleted such as the side-story involving the actual relationship between Chow's character of Tequila and Teresa Mo's Madam. This, in turn, would see Chow push for John to star himself in a mentor-like role – knowing that the director wouldn't be as quick to cut any scenes with him in them...

 

John has often said that he was inspired to make Hard Boiled because the crime in Hong Kong was so out of hand. With this film, he wanted to show how heroic the police could be, and create a hard-as-nails cop inspired by the likes of Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry (1971) and other Hollywood heroes. Of course, he would have to find someone capable enough of playing such a character and, well, to be honest, he only really ever had one person in mind to do so – the charismatic and undeniable Chow Yun Fat. Currently 70 years of age as I write, Yun Fat, who was once known as Donald Chow many moons ago, was born on Lamma Island in Hong Kong on May 18th 1955. Destined for greatness, he started making a name for himself in television shows such The Good, The Bad & The Ugly (1979) and The Bund (1980), before going into contract with popular film studio Goldig Films. Here, he would star in titles such as The Hunter, the Butterfly and the Crocodile (1976), Hot Blood (1977), and Their Private Lives (1978). He would then star in films such as Joy to the World (1980) with Cora Miao, Modern Heroes (1980) with the late Bruce Leung, share the screen with future co-star Danny Lee in The Executor (1981) alongside Ng Man Tat and Deanie Ip. But it would be his performance in The Story of Woo Viet (1981) just after, that would start his film career climbing. While the next few years would be somewhat of a roller-coaster for him, starring in the likes of Postman Strikes Back (1982), The Bund (1983) movie and it's sequel, Love in a Fallen City (1984), Hong Kong 1941 (1984) and more, a young John Woo was about to embark on a new groundbreaking gangster flick called A Better Tomorrow, where he wanted take a chance on Chow as one of his leading men. Of course, this film was only 1 of 11 that Chow would star in throughout 1986, with this same business and workload continuing for the next 3 or 4 years. Here, as Tequila, Chow delivers one of his most memorable and exciting action roles to date – impressing on every level and proving why he was the perfect choice for the role. Of course, we all know how popular A Better Tomorrow was, and still is, with Cinema City and producer Tsui Hark forcing Woo and team into an immediate sequel – with more than a little more emphasis on the action this time. 1989 saw the pair stick together once again to make The Killer, bringing Danny Lee and Chow Yun Fat together once again, although they had since starred in films like City on Fire, Rich & Famous and Tragic Hero just two years prior. Although they proved to be a winning team with what they delivered in this incredible film, it would be the first and last time unfortunately with Lee working under Woo (and Wu Ma) in Just Heroes later that year. At the same time, Chow would be off to work under Tsui Hark who had taken the reigns of A Better Tomorrow 3: Love & Death in Saigon, a film that should have been a John Woo project after the success of the first two, however, creative differences and more saw a major fall-out between him and Hark, with John leaving Cinema City to set-up John Woo Film Productions. Supposed to be a prequel of sorts, giving us the story of how Chow's character of Mark Gor became the gun-toting gangster he was, a similar approach that Tsui Hark used for his own enjoyable take, Woo reworked his story to give the masterpiece that is Bullet in the Head (1990); his incredible 1960s set war-torn crime-drama starring Jacky Cheung, Waise Lee, Simon Yam, and a young Tony Leung Chiu Wai – Chow's co-star here in Hard Boiled and globally loved superstar. Actually, prior to this, the pair did share the screen in back in 1986 in both The Lunatics and Love Unto Waste, but never anything after Hard Boiled which always confused me. Regardless, their pairing here was just perfect with Tony turning in a fine performance as Alan (sometimes Tony) – the haunted undercover cop who's in so deep, he doesn't quite know what side he's actually fighting for. Almost playing like a precursor to his later role in the incredible Infernal Affairs (2002), Leung does an amazing job as the 'supposed' Triad assassin working for Uncle Hoi, fighting the anger that burns inside him due to the wrong doings he has been forced into. The exchange between him and Chow on his yacht is quite the moment, calling on both actors to give it their all as Tequila forces Alan to reveal that he is indeed undercover before they are attacked from all sides. Of course, trying to keep them on the right side of the law is two superiors – both of whom have their own histories with the fiery cops. The first is played by the lovely Teresa Mo who plays, well, Teresa Chang; girlfriend of Tequila and in-house contact of Alan's who works on decoding the messages sent to her by him, via secret codes written in song on cards attached to bouquets of flowers. A regular star of comedy films in the years leading to this, it was surprising to learn that Mo was cast in the role initially planned for Michelle Yeoh. Still, she does a fantastic job and is always a joy to watch, bringing her own to the character overall. The trio all answer to Superintendent Pang, played with natural flair by cop-turned-actor/director Philip Chan. Starting his acting career in the late 70s, mostly playing cops ironically, Chan also made a name for himself as the writer of films such as Jumping Ash (1976), and Long Arm of the Law 1 & 2 (1984/87), as well as many of his own self-directed features like Night Caller (1985), Inspector Chocolate (1986), Carry on Yakuza (1989) and Front Page (1990). It's also worth noting that he also directed Sammo Hung's underrated Where's Officer Tuba? (1986), The Return of Pom Pom (1984), and Tongs: A New York Chinatown Story (1986) with Simon Yam.

 

On the opposite side, we have a host of scene stealing baddies, the first of which is fantastic Japanese actor Kunimura Jun who stars as the gang boss in the opening teahouse shoot-out. Many will recognise this great actor from the incredible South Korean thriller, The Wailing (2016), but has also starred in hits like Black Rain (1989), Audition (1999), Ichi the Killer (2001), Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2 (2003), Shin Godzilla (2016) and so much more. Of course, Hard Boiled was not his first Hong Kong film, having appeared in Au Revoir, Mon Amour (1991) and Blue Jean Monster (1991) before that, and would return to work with both Chow Yun Fat and John Woo in the years that followed – with Yun Fat in Jeff Lau's action-comedy Treasure Hunt (1994) and for Woo, in the Patrick Leung directed Somebody Up There Likes Me (1996) starring Aaron Kwok and Sammo Hung (which John produced), then many years later in Manhunt (2017) under Woo's direction once again. Fan-favourite and award winning actor Anthony Wong, spits out another wild and over-the-top performance as the hateful crime boss, Johnny Wong. Double-crossing and devious, this triad leader plans to take control of Hong Kong's gangs and won't think twice about taking down anyone that gets in his way. His big money spinner is gun smuggling, most of which he has stored in the basement of a hospital that becomes the explosive set-piece for the grand finale. But even the always reliable Wong wasn't enough! Woo needed someone else to give Chow and Leung a run for the money. Enter the great Philip Kwok Choi – Shaw Brothers star and treasured member of the Venom Mob, starring here as the brutal but honourable Mad Dog, right-hand man of Johnny Wong and a scene stealer throughout Hard Boiled. Born in Taiwan, Kwok rose to fame throughout the 70s as one of the highly skilled performers and stars of many Chang Cheh directed favourites. From Shaolin Temple (1976) to Five Deadly Venoms (1978), Flag of Iron (1980) to House of Traps (1982), Kwok's talents were unmatched and saw him stand out from many other kung fu stars at the time, whether in the role of good or evil. In 1982, he worked with his Venom brothers to direct the awesome Ninja in the Deadly Trap; an exciting wuxia/ninja adventure in the vein of Five Element Ninjas (also 1982) that saw the addition of the legendary Ti Lung and Yasuaki Kurata cast. But Kwok was also a talented action-choreographer, working behind the scenes on most of his Chang Cheh directed titles, but also on modern hits like A Chinese Ghost Story (1987), The Big Heat (1988), The Peacock King (1989), Erotic Ghost Story (1990), Forbidden Arsenal (1991), Sea Wolves (1991) and this, of course, working alongside John Woo to deliver some of the most memorable and exciting action scenes ever committed to celluloid. Later, Kwok would also lend his talents to the 007 hit Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) with Michelle Yeoh, and the amazing Brotherhood of the Wolf (2001) starring Mark Dacascos – as well as many others. Other cast members of Hard Boiled that stand out are Stephen Tung Wai as troubled informer Little Ko, Bowie Lam as Chow's unfortunate partner in the teahouse, the great Kwan Hoi San as Tony's triad boss, Venom co-star Lo Meng, Lam Kai Wing, Michael Dinga, Bobby Au, Jack Wong, and John Woo himself as mentioned.

 

Serving as John Woo's last Hong Kong movie before heading to Hollywood, Hard Boiled (for me) is undoubtedly his best and a movie that none of his Hollywood productions, no matter what the budget, have even come close to. Gorgeously restored in 4K due to it's recent revivals from Shout Factory and Arrow Video, one can now appreciate just how stunningly shot this film really is thanks to the talented Horace Wong – the same DOP that captured all the previous Woo action flicks as well as hits like The Big Heat (1988), The Bare-Footed Kid (1993), God of Gamblers Returns (1994), Peace Hotel (1995), The Accidental Spy (2001), Reign of Assassins (2010), Kung Fu Yoga (2017), and The Battle at Lake Changjin 1 & 2 (2021). From the aforementioned teahouse shoot-out to the blistering warehouse battle, and the attack on Tony's yacht to the explosive grand finale at the hospital, Horace Wong not only captures every bit of action so beautifully, but also every scene that comes in between. From Chow's nightclub musical interludes and meetings in the police station, to dramatic talks between triads, deals gone wrong, and then some, the visuals in Hard Boiled just add to the perfection of this production in what keeps it firmly placed in my top ten Hong Kong movies. And I can't end without mentioning the impressive 5-minute-long take during the hospital action scene, an exciting shoot-out throughout the halls of the building with explosions rigged to go off on cue that saw Tony Leung injured after he was hit in the eyes by flying glass. Regardless, it still stands as one of the all-time greatest grand finales of any action film the world over. As mentioned, although I have 11 different versions of Hard Boiled in multiple forms of physical media from the mid-90s, the film (along with most titles under the Golden Princess banner) has been unavailable for almost 20 years in the west. Thankfully, in early 2025, Shout Factory struck a deal with them to acquire the rights to their whole catalogue – thus releasing films like this across North America, while making a deal with Arrow Video to handle the same in the UK and Imprint in Australia. Proving to be big sellers, with the initial US release from Shout Factory selling out almost immediately, Hard Boiled has never looked better in it's new 4K UHD upgrade. The latest edition in my collection was the Arrow Video release, graced with more stunning artwork by Tony Stella that also comes on a double-sided poster and across the discs. But it also provides a new collectors booklet, six art-cards, and a host of exciting bonus features such as four audio commentaries – two brand new and two archival – deleted and extended scenes, new interviews with John Woo, Terence Chang, Anthony Wong, and Gordon Chan among others, along with other archival pieces and much more. In short, this genuine classic of Hong Kong cinema has finally received the love it has always deserved, and it's only fair to say that the fans are more than happy with the result!

 

Overall: One of my all-time favourite Hong Kong action-films, Hard Boiled never fails to entertain and is perhaps John Woo's finest moment that deserves to be seen!
