The MVD Collection has announced that it is preparing a brand new Collector's Edition of Sheldon Lettich's classic action film
Lionheart a.k.a.
Leon (1990), starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, Ashley Johnson, Brian Thompson, Ash Adams, and Jeff Speakman. The release will be available for purchase on June 12.
Jean-Claude Van Damme (Black Eagle, Hard Target) stars as a soldier drawn into the world of modern-day gladiators fighting for the amusement of the rich in this fast moving action thriller co-written by Van Damme himself!
Upon receiving news that his brother in Los Angeles is seriously injured, Lyon Gaultier (Van Damme) Deserts the French Foreign Legion from a remote outpost in North Africa. Fleeing from two of the Legion's security force who have orders to bring him back at any cost, Lyon reluctantly turns to the illegal, bare-kuckles underground fighting circuit to raise the money he needs to help his brother's family.
From legendary action director Sheldon Lettich (Double Impact, Bloodsport), this riveting action adventure also stars Harrison Page (Bad Ass), Brian Thompson (The Terminator), Ashley Johnson (The Help) and a cameo appearance by Jeff Speakman (The Perfect Weapon) and combines the raw power and charisma of Van Damme with the exciting world of no-holds-barred street fighting.
