Jean-Claude Van Damme on Blu-ray

[Somerset]

Yeah, out of Van Damme's DTV filmography:

Assassination Games
Replicant
In Hell
Wake of Death
The Hard Corps
Second in Command

were all pretty good in my books. His DTV output has been way better than Seagal's -- which are just horrendous!

Even Van Damme's lesser DTV vehicles like The Order, Desert Heat, Until Death and The Shepherd were WAY better than Seagal's like Today You Die, Out for a Kill, The Foreigner and Out of Reach.

Mill Creek -- put out a Desert Heat/Wake of Death combo!

6 Bullets

I also remember liking Wake of Death, but I need to re-watch it. Haven't seen it since it came out back in 04.

Still need to check out The Shepherd. I want to see that one mostly because Scott Adkins is in it.

WAKE OF DEATH is incredibly stylish and well-made for a B grade action flick!

Hopefully it gets a Blu release

The upcoming 5 movie JCVD blu-ray is available for $8.99 on Amazon right now for those who were waiting for a good deal.

I didn't like that one or Day of Reckoning.

Actually I think all four Universal Soldiers are among his weakest films.

I think that the first and Regeneration are the best of the four that he's in.

I would rank them thus.
Regen
Unisol
The Return
DOR.

Since JCVD isn't in them, I never bring them up. Especially since practically no one knows about them.

Amazon had Hard Target and Sudden Death for $10 a piece and I jumped on them.

Just got these in that mail today. Regeneration is just ****ing bad ass and Replicant I haven't seen in over 10 years but I remember really liking it.

Hard Target on Blu is a must. It's still arguably John Woo's best Hollywood film.

[StingingVelvet]

Sudden Death arrived first and I watched it. Really needed 10 minutes or so cut out of the first act, but otherwise it was a solid Die Hard ripoff. Picture quality surprisingly solid, though far from amazing. Worth a $10 purchase for big 80's style action movie fans.

According to Mill Creek's site, Knock Off has been replaced by Double Team.

Damn, for serious? I mean, that's great, to have Double Team on blu finally (even if it's compressed onto a disc with one or two other movies), but I would have happily sacrificed Second In Command or whatever the hell The Hard Corps is to keep Knock Off on the order.

I would definitely like a blu of WOD. Really liked the dark tone of the movie. The only thing I didn't like about it though, was that the editing tried to be a little too stylish with all of the annoying MTV style cuts. Also, I found a lot of the score to be overly dramatic in some parts(the sad scenes). Overall though, def one of JCVD's best DTV's. Really solid performance from him as well in this.

That's what their site says, but they could always switch things up again and delay the set.

Actually, The Hard Corps is probably one of the best movies on the set. Definitely a sleeper.

Agreed, Hard Corps is actually pretty good. If you are a fan of JCVD, definitely give it a watch.

Preordered the new 5 pack, only problem I have is that with Double Team replacing Knock Off we still have 2 JCVD films without blu releases, I would of loved to see universal soldier the return and maximum risk taken off for shepherd border patrol and knock off. I am also counting the worldwide releases of Blu not just US. Wake Of Death was released in Germany and I gotta say I was pleasantly surprised by the picture/audio quality.
