Yooo this is big. This giant library was once acquired by a big company (a construction company afaik) that didn't really care about movies and wasn't interested in selling for several decades. Shout now finally managed to buy the whole library.

I better get a 4k release of Hard Boiled or I will start a revolution.

They said they’re restoring the Woo movies.

 

[EviLore]

Excellent news. So many classics in that library.

 

[TGO]

This is great, although Shout! Studios don't directly release here in the UK.
but you can still import them and 101 Studios release some of their stuff here.

I've never seen a movie of it... except I was interested in the Xbox 360 and PS3 game... but I never got around to playing it.

Stranglehold was fun

The Killer is a classic and Hard Boiled is just amazing, been years since I watched it, the Better Tomorrow trilogy is also on that list.

Also:

The Killer is sorely missing from my digital library. Hard Boiled can be had on Amazon.

Hard Boiled is so fucking good, man.

 

[Champomade]

That is excellent news

Guess which spirit I'll be drinking when I play this.

 

[SpiceRacz]

Fuck yes. I’ll drink to that.

 

[ManaByte]

I just downloaded the Shout TV app and they have City Hunter streaming in HD for free!

 

[nush]

Better Tomorrow trilogy. yes!

 

[Valonquar]

But guys, why bother when you can watch the recent 2024 remake of The Killer that Woo also directed?

 

[Sophist]

One of my favorite scenes ever:



He is all laughing with the girl then he slowly opens the door, the music stop, people stop talking, the close up on his straight face...

It’s my favorite terrible suit in all of cinema.

 

[DGrayson]

City on Fire is so fucking good

 

[Dirk Benedict]

This movie is wild AF. Loved that one.
