I purchased this SPECIFIC version of ‘Hard-Boiled’, having read through many of the reviews on this site, which warn against purchasing a dubbed version. The purchase information for the Prism version reads as follows: ‘Language: Cantonese Chinese’ and ‘Subtitles: English’.Well, as my title and 1 Star rating will tell you, this version is NOT in Cantonese with English subtitles. It is ONLY in dubbed English, on a VERY poor-looking disc, with a most peculiar aspect ratio. The dubbing was dreadful, and the speed of the disc actually seemed to vary! I have rarely seen a worse DVD quality, and very soon, we regretfully concluded that it was unwatchable. Those other Amazon reviewers on this page, who say the same things as I do, are ABSOLUTELY correct. If I had not purchased this disc via a highly rated Amazon seller, I would wonder if this was pirated, it was SO poor.Thankfully, Amazon has been SUPERB, and have refunded me.So, this is a Star rating given ONLY for the product, to ensure that other purchasers don’t make the mistake I did, DESPITE being on the alert for precisely this problem. And can I make a plea to other reviewers ~ PLEASE specify the version you have found poor or defective, to help others avoid this sort of problem… ### ⭐⭐ Brilliant john Woo classic. Ruined by dubbing. *by C***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 January 2016* Firstly, this to me this and The Killer, are the definitive John Woo films. Made relatively early in his career before Holywood heard of him. Full of super cool beautifully choreographed, almost balletic shoot outs. The film oozes that HK kinetic action style. Chow Yun-Fat is excellent to watch, as ever......BUT.....BUT.....this is the ridiculous dubbed version,which completely ruins the atmosphere, with awful american-english voice acting (where do they find these people??), hence the two stars.Do yourself a favour, pick up the undubbed version. And while your at it, pick up "The Killer" as well. Then you're all set for a good night in! Nobody does it like John Woo. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Godfather of all action movies since 1991 *by M***5 on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 February 2016* I bought this to replace my aged Video Cassette which is now so badly worn you can almost see through it. The DVD Collectors edition is excellent. I was thrown at first as the opening credits suggest its going to be a boxed version of the film, but afterwards it shifts to a full screen. Its an excellent re-mastered copy of what I regard as a classic and still John Woo's best.Now for the film itself. Well I put it on when I received it to just watch the first five minutes to check the quality, which was a stupid thing to do because I was immediately sucked back into this action masterpiece and ended up watching the whole movie. This you must understand is a film I've watched more times than I can remember.I hadn't watched it for some years, but John Woo's direction, the cast, the stunts, plot and just sheer pace and narrative just held me spell bound all over again. This film from 1991 doesn't use any CGI, so its three big action packed, stunt filled scenes are all real, no computers involved, just jaw dropping, bone crunching, explosive action packed cinema at its very best.When John Woo made 'Broken Arrow' apparently John Travolta wasn't convinced he should do the movie with this 'unknown' Chinese director. It took Christian Slater going round to Travolta's house with a copy of Hard Boiled, and made Travolta sit down and watch it to get him to come on board.The cover states 'Its better than a dozen Die Hards', oh yes, its true and in fact when I watch any action movie Hard Boiled is my yardstick, especially as John Woo didn't have access to any CGI, so very rarely does any modern 'action' movie measure up. In fact I've seen so many copy or even steal scenes from Hard Boiled its embarrassing.So, before I ramble on any further, buy it. This is John Woo at the very top of his game, along with Chow Yan Fat, and Tony Leung giving superb performances. Quite frankly the best of the best when it comes to gun toting explosive action. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/113686847-hard-boiled-dvd](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/113686847-hard-boiled-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
