I've been thinking about buying this for a while, and might as well get around to it. Problem is, this is the only import version I can find for sale. Anyone know if it's any good?

I think that's a bootleg. You're better off spending $6 more to get this version:

It also has a commentary track by John Woo. It's missing the Terence Chang commentary and deleted scenes of the Criterion version, but that's long been out of print and not a huge loss, IMO.

Yeah, it's a bootleg. But not a bad transfer. Though I would go for the official release.

BTW, the Criterion prints were never that hot to begin with.

I ended up with a bootleg when I bought Hard Boiled that way...

Yeah, you've gotta be careful. I've been burned too, and have learned to fire off an email if I'm not sure.

It looks like you can get a sealed copy of the Fox/Lorber one for $12.95:

John Woo Collection DVD: The Killer/ Bullet In The Head (DTS Version)

Awesome transfers, a bunch of extras. Totally worth it. Give me a few moments i'll take screenshots. totally worth it

 

[FoneBone]

I've never seen Bullet in the Head, though, and I'd rather not spend my money blind like that.

Hey, Shuri, how are the English subs in that set?
