In this video, I review two of John Woo's action classics: The Killer (1989) and Hard Boiled (1992). Starring Chow Yun-fat and directed by John Woo, these films helped define the "heroic bloodshed" genre and influenced countless action movies that followed. I'll share my thoughts on both movies, discuss why they've become such influential classics, trivia and behind-the-scenes facts. Then unbox and compare the new 4K UHD releases from Via Vision Entertainment (Imprint Asia) with the recent Shout! Studios releases to see how they stack up in terms of packaging, presentation, and overall value for collectors.
