I believe the DVD was released back in 2000 when MI2 was just coming out. But yeah, I thought it was a little weird myself. I'm getting the 2-disc Ultimate Edition of HARD BOILED tomorrow. I really got this for THE KILLER because I don't own it yet and also because it's out of print and king of a collector's item now (like the BETTER TOMORROW 1 & 2 2-pack and the Akira Kurosawa Criterion 4 Samurai Collection that I have).
