Van Damme Four-Feature Film Set (Hard Target / Lionheart / Sudden Death / The Quest)

Got this for my husband and we had a lovely movie night. Came quickly.

My friend is a Jean-Claude Van Damme fan while I am a fan of action & martial arts films. His mom says that her favorite Jean-Claude Van Damme movie is Lionheart, and I saw why. In the movie Hard Target, Lance Henriksen won a Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role while Van Damme enjoyed working with the director John Woo. Sudden Death is considered to be one of JCVD's best films. My friend told me that he enjoyed The Quest shortly after we saw the movie for the first time. The film also showcases different fighting styles from around the world, which sounds inspirational in my opinion. Anyway, these films should not be missed if you are a fan of Jean-Claude Van Damme as well as action films.

Don't get me wrong, these are very fun movies. I enjoyed all four films. I thought the set could've used some bonus material; namely stuff like deleted scenes for LIONHEART, SUDDEN DEATH and THE QUEST, if there are any to be found, production notes, cast and crew profiles, making of documentaries, theatrical trailers and tv spots and poster galleries, foreign and domestic. I said they should've had to included the original uncut version of "HARD TARGET" because obviously the movie had to be cut a dozen times to get an "R" rating in the USA. I also wish they would've included individual DVDs of each movie in the set, because apparently it was a 2 disc set with 2 films on each disc. Disc 1 had LIONHEART and HARD TARGET on it, while disc 2 had SUDDEN DEATH and THE QUEST.

If you're a JCVD fan, these are 4 of his absolute must-see movies... Hard Target and Sudden Death are amazing guilty-pleasure movies that are good because they're just terrible '90's action flicks (i don't mean to insult them, i really am a JCVD fan but lets be real here, they're hilariously bad at times), Lionheart is mostly good and one of his more popular classics, and the Quest is somewhat unknown but its directed by JCVD himself and is basically a throwaway-story (introduced by JCVD in old-man makeup, pure gold LOLZ) thats just an excuse to have an international fight tourney to show off some cool fight styles, and quite frankly, one of my new favorite JCVD movies

hhmm well first of i all i bought this cause it lion heart as well. Just the 'hard target' dvd only was $7.00. Since it was a 4 pack and it was the same price ehh what the heck. Hard target and lion heart are on one dvd thats the great part. Sudden death and the quest are on the other. i thought it was worth the purchase for he first two the other not so much. Thanks Wally

Did you know that this gentleman took ballet lessons? His 'splits' come from his dance training, as does the expert use of balance in his martial art forms (to some degree). Amazing where we can get the basis for our violent natures. Aside from this, he has made some excellent use of the syfy genre, especially in Time Cop. We own two four disc sets and enjoy his antics on screen, but not so much his love making.... (You can't have everything)

I bought this set for my father for his birthday. The movies come two to a dvd and both are on the front side of the disc. When the dvd turns on, you choose between which film that you would like to see. I appreciate this concept as my father who is a senior citizen can't always read the markings for dvd's that are reversible. He usually ends up watching the wrong movie that way... The movies were both in good condition and he has no trouble watching them...

Although the themes and writing and directing styles of these nearly forgotten '70s westerns would keep me from grouping them in a single set, their production era binds them together well enough... well, enough that this collection seems somewhat less arbitrary than many others out there. What I find most interesting here is the impressive stable of writers involved:'Breakheart Pass' (screenplay by Alistair MacLean, based on his book) is a decent mystery-thriller, passably directed by Tom Gries ('100 Rifles,' 'Will Penny'). Bronson stars as an undercover federal agent rooting out a bizarre murder plot on board a train transporting medical supplies through the Rockies to a diptheria-plagued U.S. Army outpost. Also features Ben Johnson and Richard Crenna. A little unevenly paced and acted, but with nice location shots. 3-plus stars.'Valdez Is Coming' (adapted from the Elmore Leonard novel) is a grim, spaghetti-ish revenge picture with Lancaster cast questionably as the eponymous Mexican-born sheriff. Entertaining but doesn't quite hit the dramatic mark. 3-plus stars.'Doc' (penned by newspaperman/novelist Pete Hamill) with Stacy Keach and Faye Dunaway is a strange, studied and often intriguing take on the Doc Holliday/Wyatt Earp legend. Too disengaged to be truly compelling, but worth watching as an antidote to the usual Hollywood treatment of the subject matter. 3-minus stars.'The Missouri Breaks' (co-scripted by an uncredited Robert Towne of 'Chinatown' fame) generally is considered one of director Arthur Penn's ('Bonnie & Clyde,' 'Night Moves') debacles, noteworthy solely for having Nicholson and Brando performing together on film for the first and only time (even composer John Williams' score tends to be dismissed as a throwaway). The story and mood are typical within the revisionist mode, yes, and many object to Brando's ad-libbed lunacy as the flamboyant hired killer, but overall I find this the most nuanced and amusing of the set to revisit. 3 1/2 stars.Two single-sided discs (Amazon incorrectly states one) are paired 'Breakheart'/'Valdez' and 'Doc'/'Missouri' and all four movies are anamorphic widescreen with no extras. Prints, though unremastered, are acceptable in terms of color and image sharpness with the exception of 'Missouri,' which is perhaps (like its initial MGM DVD release) the worst major-studio digital transfer I've ever owned. Content earns a soft 3-star average; smartly priced package bumps it closer to 4.

Van Damme is fine by me anytime unless it's one of his later movies that just didn't hit the mark. I love watching him and enjoy all the action and whatever else he likes to exhibit!!

Good collection, Hard Target and Sudden Death were two of my favorite Van Damme movies.
