It might be worth waiting until that's sorted out before purchasing, but once it is, you're left with a disc that gives the movie a really nice 4k presentation and extra features that are interesting and plentiful and which do a really nice job of covering the film's complicated history. Has anyone else who has watched this 4K disc noticed multiple times during the film where the picture kept getting dim then bright, dim then bright?

Hard Times in The Big Easy: Interview with Actress Yancy Butler - in this new program, Yancy Butler explains why and how she entered the film industry and discusses her contribution to Hard Target. First, he’d make an inauspicious American debut with the silly Jean-Claude Van Damme vehicle Hard Target. He’s a man who clearly loves what he does and takes that “work” seriously, but at the same time has the utmost contempt for his clients willfully killing them if and when necessary.Corrected copies are being produced and anyone who receives an early pressing can go here to request a replacement copy.

To give the “Muscles from Brussels” some credit, Van Damme has always seemed fully aware of both his strengths and limitations as a movie star, and was ahead of the curve in picking out talent from Hong Kong to work on his movies in America (Ringo Lam and Tsui Hark being other notable examples). Also, there are some interesting comments about the city of New Orleans, where the film was shot, and what it was like to work there. Hard Target attacks 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray in a two-disc 4K UHD + Blu-ray release from Kino Lorber Studio Classics. Van Damme is the target of an evil mercenary (Lance Henriksen) who recruits homeless combat veterans for the “amusement” of his clients – bored tycoons who will pay a half a million dollars to stalk and kill the most challenging prey of them all: Man.

The actor is a perfect match for Woo’s balletic sense of choreography, moving fluidly whether kicking a gas can toward a henchman’s face before blowing it up with a shotgun or executing a perfect karate strike.

Woo's trademarks are all present and correct: yes, slo-mo and freeze-frame, but also doves (well, pigeons), two-handed gunplay, back-to-back confrontations (where two characters trade words as they reload, separated only by a thin partition), and the lead character anticipating the actions of others through reflections in mirrored objects.Yancy Butler is up next in the fifteen minute Hard Times In The Big Easy where she covers how she got her start as an actress, not knowing Van Damme or Woo before getting the role for the film, how much she liked the script, what it was like shooting in New Orleans and why she brought her mom along for the ride, riding horses with Wilford Brimley (who really got her horse going at a clip! It’s when Van Damme was at his best to see on the big screen before the ego and severe cocaine addiction took over.
