Looking for definitive versions of these films. The Miramax version of Hard Boiled is okay, but the aspect seems a bit off and it uses dubtitles.
The new Miramax version of the Killer is downright awful. It uses a PAL master and incorporates the deleted scenes that are on the original DVDs. Plus the Blu-ray is interlaced. STAY AWAY!!
I have the original Criterion releases (non anamorphic) for both of these, and still use this to watch The Killer. After recently watching this version it made me think of just how much I wanted to see it restored to its former glory.
