It was pretty-much all a slow path downhill from there but, unlike most all of his peers, Van Damme was still invested in even the trash he had to participate in - the result being he's made a surprising number of genuinely watchable DTV efforts. die als "Komplett bezahlt" im System gespeichert ist, erhalten Sie Bonuspunkte im Wert der gesamten Bestellung. A long forgotten classic that can be watched with better picture and sound quality than I ever remembered.

The very fact it's on 4K, and in pretty damn decent shape, should be celebrated, and if you're there for the action and the film, you'll soon sit back and enjoy comfortably the most glorious presentation it's ever had, with WCG and HDR (Dolby Vision and, reportedly, even HDR10+ are available too) coming into play to breathe life into the colour palette, the red and yellow sashes, the ever-burning flames, the shorts and outfits, and gold embroidery. self-promotional, but covers such a broad range of subjects that it's got a little something for everyone. Both Mediabooks are excellent designs, one of them looking distinctly like the old VHS packaging the media had back in the day, however the Steelbook variation shouldn't go unmentioned - it might be lacking in the booklet that's in the other two sets, but it does deliver a surprisingly effective, simple, design, with embossing and debossing on the frame, the title and - perhaps most surprisingly - Van Damme himself.
