The UK branch of Universal Studios has revealed that it is planning to bring to Blu-ray acclaimed director John Woo's action thriller Hard Target (1993), starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, Lance Henriksen, and Yancy Butler. The preliminary release date set by the studio is August 5th.
Acclaimed Hong Kong action director John Woo's first Hollywood film attempts to construct a 'running man' thriller out of a collection of explosions and stunts. Cajun sailor Chance Boudreaux (Jean-Claude Van Damme) reluctantly comes to the aid of a female lawyer (Yancy Butler) who is searching for her missing father, a Vietnam veteran. In the course of their search the pair encounter a group of wealthy businessmen, who amuse themselves in the Louisiana swamps by hunting down the homeless.
