Summary: It ain't all bad.....
Review: No doubt that these two are Jean Claudde Van-Damme's best films. Bloodsport got the ball rolling, and I actually enjoyed watching Double Team (with Dennis Rodman but don't tell anyone!), but I enjoy watching HARD TARGET and TIMECOP more than the others. Maybe because they've both got two seasoned and professional directors behind the camera (John Woo and Peter Hyams). Your guaranteed an enjoyable double feature with Hard Target, where rich men go on a 'hunt', the prey consisting of mainly homeless people and TimeCop, a Sci-Fi adventure through time where Van Damme is policeing 'time-travel' as people start to bend history to their own greedy needs. It's got some great effects and production design, not to mention the slick photography by DOP and director Peter Hyams (of 2010:The Year We Make Contact and the other fun Van Damme flick, Sudden Death).

As I mentioned above, Sudden Death should have also been included into this package and you could have spent an entire day of explosive action. But since we've got these two, watch out for Lance Henrikson's awesome 'bad guy' performance, John Woo's slick direction (which at some parts, puts M:I-2 to shame because it was R rated and not pg-13), in HARD TARGET and watch for Ron Silver's slimy politician role and the slick effects used in TIME COP (filmed in my hometown of Vancouver).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The listing is incorrect . . .
Review: These are listed as being Widescreen! Although Hard Target is Widescreen, TimeCop is NOT. I purchased this set thinking that I had finally gotten my hands on a WS version, but no. I've tried to watch the FS version but I feel like I'm missing something. I AM missing something. A lot of the movie!

Other than that, the movies are good. Arguably, Van Damme's 2 best, which is why I got them. If you don't care about the formatting, then get these. For the price, you really can't beat the deal.
