Don't expect "Hard Boiled" to be a home theater technical demo showstopper; the print is rather faded and the sound is typical of Hong Kong movies, i.e. compressed mono.

The Criterion DVD looks fantastic on a calibrated monitor.
The Japanese LD is mono but has excellent low level detail and dynamic range.
