Hopefully refurbished, and released on a smart streaming service nearby.

Awesome news. I've wanted to watch these for the longest time

Wonder if the God of Gamblers franchise is in this. Obscure and overlooked compared to Hard Boiled...but even harder!

That’s what I like to mf hear

I hope that means Criterion can now sell The Killer and Hard-boiled films again!!!

I think it just means Shout will put out new editions and the old Criterions will still be OOP. Maybe Criterion will sell Shout the rights to the bonus stuff they produced

Awesome!
Love me some John Woo.

Shout! one of the few places you can still rely on physical media so this is a good chance for some releases we haven't had in circulation before.

Just saw Hard-boiled and The Killer for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Amaaaaaazing

Nicely done

The Killer and A Better Tomorrow have to be my fave John Woo titles

‘Hard Boiled’ is still the best action film that’s ever been made. Watched it again recently.

My one BIG problem with these films is how stereotypical they make Asians for the most part...We do NOT all know karate, we are NOT all that coordinated, and many of us would rather run than fight...
