The Killer 1989 Internet Archive →

Film historians argue that the Archive is doing essential work. When the official Blu-ray release from Hong Kong (released by Kam & Ronson in 2010) went out of print and sold for $200, the film was effectively dead to the average person. The Internet Archive ensures that The Killer remains in the cultural conversation. As one user commented on the Archive page: "I own two physical copies. I still downloaded this because I want my students to watch it. It’s impossible to screen otherwise."
