Capelight Pictures, in association with ‎ Altitude Film Distribution, will bring to 4K Blu-ray Newt Arnold's cult film Bloodsport (1988), starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, Donald Gibb, Leah Ayres, Norman Burton, and Forest Whitaker. Blu-ray edition, which squeezed both this film and Timecop on a dual-layered disc via the outdated VC-1 codec.Those so inclined are welcome to try to wrestle with its awesomeness in the discussion thread accompanying this review, perhaps through poetry or raw testimonials about how the mullet affected you on a personal level.

While in Hong Kong, Dux befriends a rowdy American fighter named Ray Jackson (Gibb) and a reporter named Janice Kent (Ayres). There is a certain unavoidable hint of homoeroticism in any dramatized activity involving slow motion footage of men with oiled torsos tousling, but when, in their big romantic scene, the camera spends more time gratuitously lingering over Van Damme's body than Ayres' and the denouement includes a scene of Frank and Ray declaring their mutual love more than Frank and Janice ever do, it seems to cross a line from gay subtext to "Enola Gay". Timecop' is a more full, but that may just because of the variety of the sequences in 'Timecop' – like the aforementioned western and gangster sequences – while 'Bloodsport' is pretty doggedly committed to the sound of people walloping each other. Bloodsport is presented with video and audio limited somewhat by its low-budget 1980s origins, while Timecop has outstanding surround audio appropriate for its action bombast along with a video presentation marred only by some minor issues with its high-contrast/low-light cinematography.You see, it takes place in a time where time travel has been invented and there are nefarious people using it for very nefarious means. But Janice quickly finds another way of entry, going "undercover" posing as a date to a wealthy patron.

When he finds out Tanaka is dying, Dux travels to Hong Kong in his honor to participate in the Kumite - a secret full-contact competition in which fighters from all over the world put their lives on the line.He is notably impressed as Dux's victory-- forcing Chong Li to submit, no less-- but jokingly warns that Dux might have to fight him next time. Squaring him off against martial artist/body-builder Bolo Yeung for the film's climax was a stroke of genius because not only was it guaranteed to resonate with viewers who would remember Yueng's appearance in Bruce Lee's, Enter the Dragon, but it would be hard to imagine any red-blooded fan of action cinema not wanting to see two such behemoths face-off. Frank Dux (Jean-Claude Van Damme), an army captain at his base, is summoned to a meeting with his colonel before going on furlough.
