Not to mention the strange star power of Jean-Claude Van Damme, who plays Chance Boudreaux, a Cajun former Marine who finds himself pit against Emil Fouchon (Lance Henriksen), the organizer of the manhunts. One of those mystical products could be an exotic hair product since the camera can't seem to get enough of Van Damme's long wet hair).

She offers to pay Chance a few hundred dollars if he agrees to be her guide and help her find her old man. I felt like I was seeing small details, particularly costume textures I’d never really noticed before.

The commentary track with Brandon Bently and Mike Leeder is a solid listen with the new cast and crew interviews well worth checking out. I still have it in my library, so I was able to do some direct comparisons with it while evaluating the 1080p and 4K presentations of Kino Lorber's exclusive 4K restoration of Hard Target. Universal Pictures UK will celebrate the 30th anniversary of John Woo's action thriller Hard Target (1993) with a brand new Collector's Edition 4K Blu-ray SteelBook, which will be available for purchase on June 26th.

Kino Lorber have detailed their upcoming 4K Blu-ray release of action thriller Hard Target (1993), starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, Lance Henriksen, Yancy Butler, Wilford Brimley, and Kasi Lemmons. In fact, barring the further audio issues, those without DV would have likely absolutely loved revisiting this action classic in 4K. Back in 1993, this movie was an early title to be released to theaters with the then-new DTS sound format, which was pretty famous at the time for goosing the bass to ear-bleeding levels. JCVD Still pumps out some fun movies, but nothing has come close to the excellence that is Hard Target.

The corrected track is very loud, with sharp sound effects and active surround channels, but dynamic range is just okay and could be better. Nearly a decade ago, I felt the same way and back then we did not have Dolby Atmos, so I wonder if a new mix would have offered some meaningful improvements. Set in a bizarre version of New Orleans where the streets are almost always empty and the entire city only ever has one police officer on duty (a very quick shot tells us that the rest are on strike, and that issue is never mentioned again), Hard Target is a 1990s update of that old yarn The Most Dangerous Game. And, perhaps even more frustratingly given what you'd have had to go through to get here, actually pretty frequently stunning.
