The US Blu Ray is uncut like the UK version and it is a much better film! I'd say most of the NC-17 violence is on there but it's still missing Roper's full uncut death and the ear cutting scene.

Oliver Harper where I can finds the full uncut version please

Oliver Harper Double Impact please!

Excellent review

Great review what's the music from at the end, what film??

You dont mess with a mullet like that

I hated it as a 12 year old, in 93, but I absolutely appreciate it, for it's epicness, now as an adult.

@@insertcolorfulmetaphor8520 did you pee when you saw yancee butler

Love that scene!! He sorta slaps it on the top of the head, then slugs it right in the kisser... then he proceeds to bite it's rattle off, and sets a booby trap... sheer brilliance!

Am sold

SNAKES! PUNCH EM!

Sold! C'est bon, ça!

Exactly! ( At least for the first part)

sorry for the necroposting but we can say that Face Off was an exception in Woo's filmography at the time, he came from almost flawless hard boiled oir\action movies then he did Hard Taget, which i see as his most famous\well received "excellent movie", then Face Off, which was a very different movie compared to his "first life" as a director: it was good (imho his best works are the action\hard boiled) but different from his previous movie (and Cage's performance was the actual reason the movie looks better than it actually is), MI2 was his second experiment with action\techno thriller and yes, it sucked badly... compared to the very good one it just disappear, but it's more a matter of wrong tone: we came from a very Bondish Ethan Hunt to full action hero in the second one (basically setting the pave for the second life of Tom Cruise as a full action star). TLDR: outside his almost flawless career in HK, in his early run in USA Hard Target was his best movie, the one with the most spectacular stunts great "gun porn" and a decent to solid plot that keeps all togheter, Face Off was a very good experiment with the techno thriller sub genre and MI2 was his first real mistake and the only movie of him that i just watched one single time. The Killer, A better Tomorrow and Hard Target are his best movies IMHO.

I have an OK time with Wind talkers for NIC Cage, but it's not a great one besides that one I agree he peaked with Face Off. I enjoy all of his films very much up to and including Face-Off, after that, I can enjoy Wind talkers Ok and Paycheck with Ben Affleck that's another OK movie but doesn't feel like a John Woo film.

He does well here. Besides, you Have Lance and the fucking The Mummy himself chewing up the scenery with great performances anyway.

It is a classic. Such an awesome movie.

Yeah the single take shot in the hospital is superb. Amazing direction.

Oliver Harper ...and Hong Kong actors don’t come much cooler than Chow Yun-Fat! Such a great performer, and (most of the time) so good at firing a gun without blinking like mad every time it goes off!

AWOL is one of the best

That was Sven-Ole Thorsen who is close friends with Arnold Schwarzenegger and has been a bad guy in several of Schwarzeneggers movies along with being a bad guy and fighting against Steven Seagal in On Deadly Ground.

haha playing dress up as Lance Henrikson!. Cheers for your comment John.

Thank you, sir.

Lance is old now, but he stil being cute, is an amazing actor, I love him

Lol no

agreed. I would request Universal to release the full cut. With the romantic scenes.

Dolph is a better villain in Universal Soldier but this more is still excellent

@@NeverQuit87 yea it is! Is well made movie!

My personal favourite of van dammes movies

Lance Henriksen es un magnífico actor, luce tan buena persona, quisiera conocerlo, amo sus personajes, y sin duda a él también

So your saying he is a legit person not just an "actor" like so many in the movie industry.

nahh, the most badass scene is the stunt with the motorbike... but even when he shotted that guy with a colorful shirt with an "inverted gun" or the dual gun shooting with Arnold Wooslo were sick. and some uncle's lines were priceless.

See they didn't have a problem with the cocaine use, it was his depression. Cause people in hollywood like to live in a make believe reality where everything is great all the time and fame is the only thing in life that matters.

Some of the latest stuff is alright but his last epic film was "JCVD" from 2008. Didn't really like "The Last Mercenary" on Netflix but "We Die Young" was pretty cool.

Mottahead Bullshit bloodsport or no retreat no surrender

Mikey G sudden death

+1

Time cop is his best

WRONG! Kickboxer!

Cheers Stew!. Yeah dust off that DVD and slap it back into your player but remember to do it in slo mo!.

Hehe way ahead of you!!

+crazy4avrillavignex I love it too. Not sure if it's my favorite by any means, but definitely very very good. Face off is probably my favorite action movie.

Time cop is underrated, and was ahead of its time

@johnny jerry To me better than T2 and Bloodsport.

Lmfao

I had promised LEON last year but I still need to pick up the blu ray.

As a fan of jcvd I never noticed that

I still quote that line very often.

100%

Agree with you. I love the roundhouse kick/close lining of the guy on the motorcycle in Hard Target and the "Why don't you sleep on it? I did that already..." from Timecop. Truly epic moments in each film.

that & the plot & characters are nowhere near as good as those movies this is popcorn flick not statement on crime or violence like ABT.

diabeetus

“Hard Target” is not bad. Sure, it’s nowhere near as good as the likes of “A Better Tomorrow”, “The Killer” or “Hard-Boiled”, but it could have been a lot worse.

Yeah, could have been BlackJack. Jesus, that movie was so dull. But still got to watch Hard Target.

aren't most Americans of European descent?
