To think Universal released the Quest before Lionheart is just not right.Im hoping Lionheart comes out soon my fav Van Damme film.

[wormraper]

broke down and ordered both Sudden death and Hard Target. I couldn't' resist for 11.99 pounds (about $18 USD) for both shipped

I haven't looked at Sudden Death yet, but Universal actually didn't screw up Hard Target with a shit load of filtering. Bizarre, lol

[Mobe1969]

Oh man just watched the Aus Hard Target. Beautiful.

Now I have it I'm thinking what my fav Van Damme my film not on blu ray yet. Knock Off or Wake of Death. I'd probably say Wake of Death.

Wake of Death was released in Germany, and I think in two different editions.

I want to sell my current copy of Bloodsport/timecop blu so that i can get my hands on the German release of Bloodsport

Is the German blu-ray of Bloodsport any better? I got the 25th Anniversary version which is just the film in a single layer BD and the only extra is a crummy trailer. Talk about disappointment lol.

The problem is that it's an upscale.

Not the new uncut release, advertised as the Black Edition.

I think it looks upscaled here: http://www.caps-a-holic.com/hd_vergl...D=1451#auswahl

The original release of Wake of Death was an insult to Blu-ray. This new Black Edition is much, much better. It might be an upscale or an HDTV master was used, or whatever, but if you look here http://www.caps-a-holic.com/hd_vergl...=153#vergleich you'll notice that it is much sharper and the color also benefits of BD. Also this shot http://www.caps-a-holic.com/hd_vergl...=381#vergleich you can see the gate in the back, but on the dvd version you wouldn't even know that it's a gate.

I think fans will be satisfied with the Black Edition.

[madridista8700]

I should be getting the new German version of Bloodsport next week or so, will post thoughts on a comparison as I also have the US double feature.

I've got it and it is just about ok. I'd say 2.5 out of 5.0 on PQ tops. Unfortunately it does look like an upscaled DVD. So yes it's better than the DVD but not by huge leaps and bounds. It's a shame because its a great DTV movie. It comes with just a trailer. The Featurette on the region 2 uk dvd if you can call it that,has not been ported over to the Black Edition Blu-ray.

Plus you get an extra 3 minutes added onto the run time of the film of course but I haven't worked out where they are yet compared to the DVD.

One extra bit involved a drill...

I might check the black edition. Sounds a bit iffy PQ wise though.

We already know that it's riddled with aliasing.

That's based on screenshots. I have hopes that it looks better in motion.
