Arrow Video continue their incredible run of catalogue upgrades with their upcoming 4K Ultra HD release of Hard Boiled — and we’ve been lucky enough to receive an advanced review copy ahead of its release at the end of March 2026.

In this EARLY REVIEW, we take a detailed look at Arrow’s new Dolby Vision 4K transfer, the Cantonese Dolby Atmos track, the English mono dub, and the wealth of newly produced and archival special features — including four audio commentaries.

Is this the definitive home video edition of John Woo’s action masterpiece? And how does it compare to previous Blu-ray releases?

If you enjoyed our Early Review of Excalibur, you won’t want to miss this one.

Will you be adding Hard Boiled to your 4K collection?
