This is a very loose and Wal*Mart freezer; they're all pretty much identical but there's always that one that stands out with a pretty box and that manages to taste just a A more suitable double-feature bill, I would argue, would be 'Timecop' and 'Hard Target,' since they were both released by Universal and produced, oddly enough, by filmmaker Sam Raimi. They were even released in subsequent years. But under-heralded 'Hard Target' actually has some level of artistry, and (as noted several times in ' JCVD') is noteworthy as the English language debut of Hong Kong director John Woo (as well as for going through 17 cuts with the MPAA before securing an R-rating).

Jean-Claude Van Damme's breakthrough was this low budget live-action inspiration for Mortal Kombat - blisteringly basic but also remarkably effective. Those only interested in the remastered Blu-ray will find plenty to enjoy too: as seen in these screenshots, even a downsampled 1080p/SDR showcase various Hong Kong exteriors.

Things are a little fuzzy when it comes to the VC-1 1080p transfers (aspect ratios: 1.78:1 for 'Bloodsport' and 2.35:1 for 'Timecop'), and I mean that quite literally: the image softness on these transfers is very gauzy and noticeable.
