As Chong Li prepares for the final bout, his trainer (Wilson Lee) carefully and stealthily slips a small chunk of a chalky substance into the waistband of his trunks. Probably the most expensive ‘standard’ edition I’ve bought, but definitely my favourite Jean-Claude Van Damme film. But Janice quickly finds another way of entry, going "undercover" posing as a date to a wealthy patron.

Squaring him off against martial artist/body-builder Bolo Yeung for the film's climax was a stroke of genius because not only was it guaranteed to resonate with viewers who would remember Yueng's appearance in Bruce Lee's, Enter the Dragon, but it would be hard to imagine any red-blooded fan of action cinema not wanting to see two such behemoths face-off. Timecop' is just as lousy a movie as 'Bloodsport,' although infinitely more watchable, thanks to the visual oomph the mostly overlooked director Peter Hyams brings to the project, some neat-o (but still dated) set pieces, and the fact that you get to see Mia Sara, Sloane from ' Ferris Bueller's Day Off,' naked (fake boobs though – boo). His intent is to honor his Sensei Tanaka (Chiao), who trained him since he was a young boy and is now very ill.Helmer and Rawlins go to the Hong Kong police department and confer with Inspector Chen (Philip Chan). Captions proceed to give Dux's career fight stats in the Kumite over several years, saying he established four records that were still standing at the time of the movie's release, and that he retired undefeated, before establishing his own martial arts school. Certain items can take longer to source than the estimated week, particularly during busy trading periods and may take longer to arrive at our warehouse. The subplot involving Dux evading military agents trying to bring him back to the USA feels like it was added at the last moment to get the running time up to feature length. It's just that the sub-par audio and video, and lack of any extras whatsoever, doesn't make it any more appetizing.

The first-round bouts are conducted, showing several participants standing out as victorious and forces to be reckoned with -- a Polynesian fighter named Parades (Michel Qissi), a Chinese kung-fu fighter named Chuan Ip Mung (Dennis Chu), a big and burly Japanese Sumo fighter named Pumola (David Ho), a Muay Thai kickboxer named Paco (Paulo Tocha), Jackson, and Chong Li, who is the current champion. Playing to the crowd, Chong Li executes a brutal stomping kick to his opponent's kneecap, breaking Parades' leg and presumably crippling him. Updated daily and in real-time, we track all high-def disc news and release dates, and review the latest disc titles. Lin goes up to Dux and admonishes him to forget Janice, as well as Jackson's injury and also about revenge.With his very life on the line, Chong Li defeatedly shouts 'matte,' and the crowd goes wild as the referee gestures to signal Dux's victory. Not satisfied with merely defeating Jackson, Chong Li lets his rage bubble to the surface and delivers a frighteningly brutal stomp to the head of his prone opponent, as Victor struggles to hold Dux back from intervening. The net result is some modestly entertaining nonsense that will offer a few thrills for genre fans, but will not likely linger in the memories of viewers. He begins reminiscing about his long relationship with Tanaka: As a youth, Frank fell in with two unruly boys who made him come with them to try and steal the sword. Jackson then turns away, thinking he has the fight in the bag, and plays to the crowd, trying to get them to chant his name the way they chant Chong Li's name.
