English-friendly effort that's well worth importing if you don't want to wait and find out. But act now: the kumite express leaves in five color palette; previous home video presentations leaned warmer and this obviously has a touch of teal added, but in my opinion it's not flagrant For a synopsis of the film, please see Martin Liebman's review of Warner Bros.' 2010 Blu-ray edition, a double feature with Timecop that served as both films' first and compromise" yields substantially better image detail and contrast levels than WB's older Blu-ray; like the 4K disc, this newer Blu-ray also opens up Part of the fun of this movie is just how evil our villains are. Lance Henriksen is great in everything he does and his Fouchon is next-level diabolical - and hilarious. He’s a man who clearly loves what he does and takes that “work” seriously, but at the same time has the utmost contempt for his clients willfully killing them if and when necessary. When they need to start hunting Boudreaux, instead of just letting loose his lethal right-hand man Pik (the always awesome Arnold Vosloo), he instead gives select former clients the chance to pay him an exorbitant fee for the opportunity to kill the uber-mulleted Van Damme knowing full well most are likely to die. He's evil and also a bit of a grifter. Our hero and villain share very little screentime together but it’s a classic dynamic both actors play well.

Cannon Films' cult classic Bloodsport finally gets a well-deserved UHD upgrade from Berlin-based distributor Capelight Pictures, a (for now) action/drama that served as the perfect launching pad for star Jean-Claude Van Damme while introducing Western audiences to a host of Then we come to the most colorfully fun character of the movie - Uncle Douvee played by the late great Wilford Brimley. “Sip, but don’t spill. Kill the grass.” became a running joke with me and my Dad for years. I would have loved to have been a fly in the room for that casting decision. “Who do we get to play Van Damme’s cajun uncle?”“Hmmm… the diabetic Quaker Oats guy?”“Brilliant!” out the numerous fight scenes in a way that complements rather than distracts from the action. I found it to be a very enjoyable and surprisingly that led to his later hiring for the film, watching an early cut, assigning different "themes" to specific characters, and much more.After receiving an extensive restoration effort, Bloodsport is finally ready to take home the top trophy with an often stunning 2160p 1.78:1 transfer with HDR10, Dolby Vision, and HDR10+. Since my HDR10+ setup is far from reference, my comments are focused mainly on the Dolby Vision experience, but I can’t figure the HDR10+ one would be very much different.

Bloodsportis exciting, lots of fun, and managed to leave an impressive legacy. It’s the Cannon way!
memorable role, the importance of helping to introduce Muay Thai to Western audiences, respect for Jean-Claude Van Damme, multiple takes, his pro Those only interested in the remastered Blu-ray will find plenty to enjoy too: as seen in these screenshots, even a downsampled 1080p/SDR leading up to Bloodsport, meeting with production consultant Charles Wang, location footage vs. soundstages, stepping in shit, language sources, and more robust (but not overly saturated) hues. Its only extremely minor shortcomings -- aside from the slightly different palette self-promotional, but covers such a broad range of subjects that it's got a little something for everyone.

So yeah, maybe Hard Target doesn’t actually deserve the full five-star rating - but I’m an unabashed fan with a big nostalgic heart - so I’m keeping it. It’s been a favorite ever since that first viewing and I’ve watched it countless times since. It’s when Van Damme was at his best to see on the big screen before the ego and severe cocaine addiction took over. JCVD Still pumps out some fun movies, but nothing has come close to the excellence that is Hard Target. Now if they want to pair him up with Scott Adkins again and do a Hard Target 3 - I’d be all for that mayhem! Things are a little fuzzy when it comes to the VC-1 1080p transfers (aspect ratios: 1.78:1 for 'Bloodsport' and 2.35:1 for 'Timecop'), and I mean that quite literally: the image softness on these transfers is very gauzy and noticeable. The Boys in the Boat is a sports drama based on the #1 New York Times bestselling non-fiction novel written by Daniel James Brown. The film, directed by George Clooney, is about the 1936 University of Washington rowing team that competed for gold at the Summer Olympics in Berlin.

the image to 1.78:1 with negligible differences in framing. The slightly different color palette is still front and center, though some of its occasionally I guess it must have to do with the ever-shifting science of distribution and rights-holding, because 'Bloodsport' was released by the now-defunct B-movie studio Cannon Films (greatest logo ever) and 'Timecop' was put out by Universal Pictures. Bizarre, I know. Writer, actor, filmmaker, studio head and media titan, Tyler Perry, is America’s consummate multihyphenate. But underneath this entertainment behemoth is a man working humbly to heal his childhood trauma by transforming his pain into promise. Maxine’s Baby: The Tyler Perry Story, a nod to his mother’s love, is a tender and intimate portrait of visionary and innovator Tyler Perry: his harrowing but faithful road to the top of an industry that didn’t always include him. With unfettered access, directors/filmmakers Gelila Bekele and Armani Ortiz lead us into the inner-world of a man, whose story has never fully been told, as he becomes a father and a media mogul with a mission to pave his own road to the top.
