Out of print DVDs

Is hard boiled a good movie? I\'ve never seen it, worth a rent or purchase?

I don\'t even know.  I know it was going oop and saw it on a bargain site for 8 bucks so I bought it.  I\'m at work now, but I\'ll update when I get home.  I don\'t think there is much on it though.

IS HARD BOILED A GOOD MOVIE!!!!!?????

*head explodes*


1st of all , its a John Woo film made at the peak of HK action cinema.  Its got chow yun fat at the peak of his career.  Hard Boiled is the epitome of action films.  nothing can be compared to this film in terms of cinematic greatness.  well, except besides another john woo/chow yun fat film called The Killer.

oh, and if u watch either of these dubbed, you will be killed

I usually watched dubbed movies, it makes it a lot easier, than having to read all that. And outloud for my brother since he cant read fast

I\'ll look for them at the Blockbuster, or maybe even order them if possible.

blockbuster will have hard boiled, the killer is a little harder to find

dubbed movies = teh suck


you lose every little bit of conviction in the voices, its pititful

I\'m shameful to say that I don\'t recall seeing neither movie (I might have, I just don\'t remember it). So tomorrow I\'ll rent both if possible, and if I likey likey (and I think I will) then they\'ll be mine on DVD.

this is the version u can get (one i have)
AC3 sound with cantonese/english audio
also has a john woo commentary

i watch action movies dubbed, because I don\'t want to miss any action sequences because I\'m too busy reading

Double negative buddy.....



I tried watching Life is beautiful for about 4.5 seconds dubbed.  Had to go to the main audio and read it.  Dubbing audio is just down right stupid.  I\'m so glad I live in America and I don\'t have to get movies in theaters all over dubbed.  That would suck.

I have never seen Hard Boiled either.  I don\'t want to open the dang thing.  I may just go rent the movie that I already have.

bah

30 minutes into the film, youll forget yer reading

yeah, i liked watching Jet Li\'s The Legend dubbed with my friend, and they had a white guy do his voice over.  that was real cool

Yeah, that\'s what I was saying.  You totally forget you are reading.  

What was this thread about originally?  Oh yeah, Bond is cool.  Go to ebay..

I\'m glad we use subtitles in Denmark. Dubs... *shudder*

I\'m with theomen, you might miss something while reading. I dubbed voices are alright, of course they could be really bad in Hard Boiled.

how about good old Frnch Foreign films?  my favorite is "Samwise vous sucez de grands boules, vous et tout le d\'âne Danemark"

I\'ve only seen one french film, it was Beauty and The Beast, it was actually pretty good. It had subtitles, and I read them, even though I can speak french to some degree.

Ouais, vous allez le présage, et ouais Samwise, vous êtes un âne du Danemark! Juste badinant.
