Hard Boiled is a 1992 action crime thriller movie from Hong Kong. John Woo is the thriller's director. The movie stars Chow Yun-fat as Inspector "Tequila" Yuen, Tony Leung Chiu-Wai as Tony, an undercover cop, and Anthony Wong as Johnny Wong, a leader of criminal triads. Hard Boiled received mixed to positive reviews from the critics.


Woo liked Clint Eastwood's and Steve McQueen's characters from their films Dirty Harry and Bullitt. He wanted to make his own Hong Kong-style Dirty Harry police detective film.[3]


Hard Boiled took 123 days to shoot.[4]


Hard Boiled was released on April 16, 1992 in Hong Kong.[5] The film grossed HK$19,711,048, which was not as strong as Woo's previous action films A Better Tomorrow or The Killer.[3][5][6] At the 12th Hong Kong Film Awards, David Wu and John Woo won the award for "Best Film Editing". Tony Leung was nominated for "Best Supporting Male Actor", but lost the award to Liu Kai-Chi in Cageman.[7] The North American premiere of Hard Boiled was in September 1992 at the Toronto International Film Festival.[8] At the premiere the audience response was very positive with people stomping their feet and yelling at the screen. This reception surprised producer Terence Chang who did not expect such a positive reaction.[9]Hard Boiled received wide release in the United Kingdom on October 8, 1993.[10]
