I was having kind of a crappy morning but this news has certainly brightened my day. So happy that it got picked up.

As for the Hard Target question above, it's the same US cut as before.

Curious when they will release Until Death on blu-ray. I own the german release but I hear the US Version is a different cut and also has a different ending.

JCVJ was a great pilot, really glad it got picked up too, I look forward to watching and then buying the full series(s)

I love The Tick (the cartoon and previous live action series) but the new pilot left me rather underwhelmed, I will give the series a watch though, didn't watch the other one so can't comment

Yeah, the US cut has a happier ending. I actually prefer the ending on the UK release. It's probably the same one that's on the German one. I would pick it up on blu just for his performance. If the supporting cast was better, this could have been a great movie. Everyone else SUCKED though, even Steven Rea.

Thanks. Yeah, I am planning on buying the US version at some point, just to have it in my collection. It's always good to have all the different versions in your collection. But I don't want to buy it on DVD. So I hope it'll get released on blu-ray sooner or later...

Trying to finish up my collection... need some advise about the following flicks:

Black Eagle:
- The German release is code free and contains both the theatrical cut as well as the DC but seems to have heavy DNR applied.
- The UK version seems to have the same PQ and only contains the theatrical cut.
Is this correct? Is the German release the best release worldwide?

Cyborg:
- The German release has the DC with the additional scenes in a very bad quality.
- The Austrian release contains both cuts?
- The US release only contains the theatrical cut (in the best possible PQ)?
Which one to get?

Kickboxer:
- The German rlease is region locked and has the overall best PQ
- The US, UK, Italian and Australian releases all have a worse PQ
Correct?

Lionheart:
- The US release is only part of the "5-movie box" and only contains the shorter US theatrical cut
- The German release contains the longer International Cut but has a bad PQ
- There also seem to be an UK and an Austrian release? Any impressions on those?

Thanks!!!

The UK BD of Black Eagle contains the original 104m version.

Proudly adding this to my JCVD collection

[BladeRunner2007]

Has the movie Jian Bing Man (2015) been released (anywhere) on blu-ray yet? I want to add it to my Jean-Claude Van Damme collection

[BladeRunner2007]

Did you guys know that Van Damme had his very first movie appearance in "Woman Between Wolf and Dog" from 1979?

He has no dialog and appears only for a few seconds in an uncredited role. You can check his scenes out here: https://bttcinema.com/2015/11/18/the...a-woman-betwe/

Immediately had to order the DVD to complete my Van Damme collection lol

Favorite Van Damme flicks for me:
1. Universal Soldier (just straight up awesome)
2. Cyborg
3. Double Impact
4. Death Warrant
5. Nowhere to Run (mmmm....Rosanna Arquette nude in hi def)
6. Sudden Death (would have been even better without the incredibly annoying daughter)
7. Kickboxer

Kickboxer
Bloodsport
Lionheart
Death Warrant
Timecop
Double Impact
Universal Soldier
Sudden Death
Nowhere to Run

He basically lost me with The Quest.

Yeah The Quest was awful. I'm actually traumatized from that movie because I chose to see that in the theater over the Richard Gere movie Primal Fear which became one of my favorite thrillers of all time.

[Petey Parker]

I like The Quest. It's not one of his best but it was entertaining. I just wish the fights in the tournament were longer.

I admit that I haven't watched The Quest since it hit PPV, but it just never got entertaining and so I never went back to it. I just bought the Van Damme 5 film pack and so I might give it another shot.

[Hard Times Chaney]

The Quest is awesome.

[Zillamon51]

All I remember about The Quest is that it's a fancied-up remake of Bloodsport.

I noticed the Kickboxer remake (with JCVD as the trainer and Batista in the Tong Po role) is on Netflix now.

Replicant is not the hidden gem some led me to believe it might be. Also damn that blu-ray is ugly.

[BladeRunner2007]

Always loved Replicant.

[Markgway]

Replicant is the best of Van Damme's DTV flicks (but that's probably because it was intended for theatrical release). It needs a new master, but, hey, Lionsgate.

The Quest is a pleasantly old-fashioned romp and well shot, too, so it's odd that the biggest issue the film has is that the fights are too short (really not sure what Van Damme was thinking).
