Bullet in the Head Limited Edition

Released: 22nd June 2026. After re-inventing the action film with The Killer, John Woo would turn inward and deliver the semi-autobiographical Bullet in the Head, complementing the stylistic flourishes that made his name with an unflinching and nihilistic brutality to deliver one of the most intense war films of all time. Set during the Vietnam war, the film follows B, Fai and Wing (iconic actors Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, Jacky Cheung and Waise Lee), three best friends fleeing from Hong Kong to seek their fortune as smugglers. In Saigon, they join forces with fellow expat Lok (Simon Yam) and double-cross the ruthless gangster Luong to steal his gold and rescue nightclub singer Sau-ching (Yolinda Yan) from his clutches. The gang must fight their way out of the country in a nightmarish odyssey where each new battle pushes them beyond their limits and threatens to destroy their friendship. Combining the gravity of Apocalypse Now with the spectacular action of Woo’s earlier films, Bullet in the Head is an uncompromising look at the ravages of war where ideals of brotherhood and comradeship disintegrate into greed and cruelty in a storm of bullets and blood.   4K ULTRA HD BLU-RAY LIMITED EDITION CONTENTS Reversible sleeve and double-sided foldout poster featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Tony Stella  Six postcard-sized reproduction artcards  Collectors’ perfect-bound booklet featuring new writing on the film by critics Priscilla Page and Sean Gilman, archival writing by critic Arnaud Bordas and an excerpt from an interview with John Woo conducted by Stéphane Moïssakis DISC ONE – THEATRICAL CUT (4K ULTRA HD BLU-RAY) 4K Ultra HD (2160p) Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible) of the Hong Kong Theatrical Cut  Original lossless Cantonese mono and Dolby Atmos audio, and lossless English mono audio  Optional newly translated English subtitles for the Cantonese audio and English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing for the English audio  Brand new audio commentary by film critic and Hong Kong cinema expert Frank Djeng  Deleted and extended scenes  Alternate boardroom ending  Alternate English opening and closing credits  Cantonese and English trailers  Image gallery DISC TWO – FESTIVAL CUT (BLU-RAY) High Definition (1080p) Blu-ray presentation of the Festival Cut  Original Cantonese lossless mono audio Optional English subtitles  Extended Festival Cut, including footage previously exclusive to the Theatrical Cut  Option to play with the alternate boardroom ending DISC THREE – EXTRAS (BLU-RAY) Brilliance with a Bullet, a brand new interview with director John Woo  The Long-Suffering Siu-Chun, a brand new interview with actor Fennie Yuen  Head Case!, a brand new interview with actor Waise Lee Army of One, a brand new interview with regular John Woo collaborator Terence Chang  Apocalypse Woo, a brand new interview with editor David Wu  Tumultuous Times, a brand new interview with associate producer Catherine Lau  Hong Kong Confidential: Inside Bullet in the Head, a brand new interview with author and Hong Kong film expert Grady Hendrix  Apocalypse How, a brand new interview with author and historian Dr Lars Laamann  Archival interviews with John Woo, David Wu, actors Jacky Cheung, Waise Lee, Simon Yam, stunt coordinator Lau Chi-Ho and associate producer Patrick Leung
