On 24th July 2007, two of director John Woo’s legendary action classics – Hard Boiled and Last Hurrah for Chivalry – will be released on Region 1 DVD by The Weinstein Company and Genius Products under the Dragon Dynasty banner. Famous for extraordinary action in legendary sequences such as the opening tea-house bust and the explosive warehouse betrayal, Hard Boiled also features a rampaging thirty-minute final showdown. Teaming international action icons Chow Yun-Fat and Tony Leung, Hard Boiled maintains a deft balance between its stunning gunfights and its tortured emotional core. Hearkening back to a Golden Age of epic martial arts cinema, the wuxia classic Last Hurrah for Chivalry showcases the director’s eye for action, as well as the deeply emotional character motivations that would become a staple in his later films.
