Imprint Asia #49

John Woo’s action classic Hard Boiled arrives in the Imprint Asia collection on 4K UHD and Blu-ray.

One of the most iconic entries in the Golden Princess catalog, this high-intensity crime thriller is often hailed as one of Woo’s finest works. Hard Boiled reunites Woo with Chow Yun-fat and Tony Leung Chiu-wai, alongside Teresa Mo and Philip Chan.

After losing his partner in a shoot-out with gun smugglers, a determined cop sets out to dismantle the operation. To reach the leaders of the criminal network, he teams up with an undercover officer posing as a gangster hitman. Together, they push deeper into the underworld in a relentless pursuit of justice.

This special release features an exclusive embossed SteelBook with the film remastered on 4K UHD and Blu-ray from the original 35mm negative, a bonus Blu-ray packed with special features, and a 60-page hardcover booklet with production stills and new essays, all housed in a lid hardbox.
