Hard Boiled [1992] Directed By: John Woo. Like I mentioned earlier I'm very curious on what Shout is aiming for in the color grading front. So here is a look for reference on two different releases. Mei Ah and HKR. I just love that blue when the bikes come... show more

Pretty sure I'd only seen the blue hues before, so I have a natural inclination toward it... But shucks to whatever I might think looks better... which one was Woo's original intention? I wouldn't want multiple choice with any movie, I want to see what the director intended.

He regraded it for the Criterion release back in the day from what I remember.

John Woo copied the blue light effects from Terminator 2. There is also a reference to the box of flowers containing a gun in the film.

Day for night was a common film technique back in the day but yeah, I fully agree with you with that assessment.

I talked to them today, that they said they did it to piss you off 😂

😭😭😭😭

Dont think it’s subjective at all. The bottom is straight up missing the filters. Same with OUATIC eureka release that was missing night / blue filters for some shots that criterion ended up fixing, finding, and putting back in.

Subjective in the sense of what people like. I think the HKR release followed the Criterion release of this film which John Woo had a hand in on the grading if I remember correctly.

HKR for more natural

I have to agree. I’m okay with either way they choose, but I like the blue feel.
