Product Description

Product Description

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.

From Amazon.co.uk

Jean-Claude Van Damme, aka "the Muscles from Brussels", has sought to revitalise his flagging career by working with the most adrenalised directors from Hong Kong action films. His first such effort was this, the umpteenth remake of The Most Dangerous Game, which teamed him with Hong Kong's most fluid action poet, John Woo (director of M:I2). Woo does what he can but, as much magic as he injects into the action, he can't turn Van Damme into an actor. Still, this is above-average fare for the wooden Belgian, in which he plays a guy trying to bust a ring of hunters who pay for the right to track and kill human quarry. And Woo has the ever-reliable Lance Henriksen as the chief bad guy, always a plus. --Marshall Fine, Amazon.com

4.0 out of 5 starsHard Target blu-ray
By Wrench on 6 Aug. 2013
Format: Blu-ray
Always had a soft spot for Hard Target. Being a fan of John Woo and Van Damme's earlier work I was always going to find enjoyment in this one, despite the critics labelling John Woo's Hollywood debut a failure. Even with the clashes between the director and his star during production they produce a fun, ultra-violent, entertaining ride. It is still my favourite Van Damme film to date creatively mixing up his martial arts with brutal gun-play.

Now on to this blu-ray release. Picture quality wise it looks excellent! Colours are vivid and detail sharp. Having watched the film multiple times on VHS and then DVD it is a noticable improvement. Watching all those bloody squibs explode and Yancy Butler's eyebrows in hi-def was a real thrill! The cut of the film is exactly the same as the previous DVD release by Universal which I'm led to believe is uncut as far as the violence is concerned, though the are alternate and deleted scenes out there that have appeared on TV and extended bootleg versions. Where this blu-ray is a major let-down comes in form of the added features... of which there are none. Not even a trailer is present on the disc! Such a disappointment that in the 20th anniversary of it's theatrical release some sort of special edition couldn't be put together with deleted scenes, featurettes or commentaries. But for action fans the film is well worth a watch, for the last 20 minutes alone!

4.0 out of 5 starsIt's like a drug isn't it, to bring a man down?
By Spike Owen TOP 500 REVIEWER on 13 Mar. 2013
Format: DVD
Hard Target is directed by John Woo and written by Chuck Pfarrer. It stars Jean-Claude Van Damme, Lance Henriksen, Yancy Butler, Arnold Vosloo and Wilford Brimley. Music is by Graeme Revell and cinematography by Russell Carpenter.

New Orleans and ex-merchant marine Chance Boudreaux (Damme) is struggling to gain employment on account of some muscular indiscretions. However, after saving Natasha Binder (Butler) from the hands of robbers, he is offered some work by her that pays handsomely. The task is to find out where her father is, a homeless ex-forces man who has mysteriously disappeared. It's a search that leads them to a sick urban safari being run by Emil Fouchon (Henriksen), the prey? Man!

After pushing the boundaries of action cinema in Hong Kong, it was only a matter of time before John Woo got lured to America to dabble in the dollar. Hard Target was his first American movie, which in spite of the studio being nervous about his hiring (Sam Raimi was on standby should it implode) and cuts being made on demand for a certificate rating to open it up to a wider audience, it worked out well. It was a financial success, even though there was the inevitable mixed reviews from critics and today it rightly is held in high regard amongst action movie die-hards.

Ok! Nobody could seriously claim it's a titan of cinema, it's an absurd story derived from The Most Dangerous Game, the acting is of the usual Van Damme kick assery standard (JC pouts and mumbles, Butler is terrible, Brimley is miscast, Henriksen so over the top we almost lose him from our vision) and preposterousness reaches new levels. Yes it's a dumb fun action movie where leaving the brain at the door is a requisite.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsHard Target - Bon Chance M Van Damme
By Victor HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWER on 20 Nov. 2012
Format: DVD
Hard Target is one of the seemingly unending oeuvre of action films that dominated my cinema going life in the eighties and nineties. And it is definitely up there as one of the best. Starring the Muscles from Brussels as Chance, a taciturn ex marine turned Merchant Sailor caught up in a search for Yancy Butler's father who has been killed as part of a sporting hunt across New Orleans. It isn't long before Chance has gotten to close to the truth, and he has to shoot, blow up or karate kick the villains into submission in a thrilling chase first through the city, through the bayou and finally in a carnival warehouse.

Lance Henrikson provides a suitably unhinged and hammy villain, with Arnold Vosloo looking very convincing as the chief Henchman. It seems as though the villains have come from rent-a-motorcycle-mob, and every cliché possible is duly inserted into the film, including Wilford Brimley in the role of homespun wisdom spouting loveable rogue friend/relative of hero who seems unsurprised when he turns up on his doorstep hunted by 20 heavily armed thugs. Van Damme is the star though and the all important action sequences still thrill as the film descends into an orgy of destruction and death.

Directed by John Woo, this does suffer a little from his trademark Slo Mo shots that here serve to break up the pace of the film and distract rather than enhance anything. There are some attempts at social commentary, with the rich hunting the poor and homeless and Van Damme does have an annoying and ill judged tendency to attempt to act rather than just hit things, but these don't really harm the film. All in all 4 stars.

4.0 out of 5 starsFind a bus to catch....
By Corey Newcombe on 16 May 2015
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
Van damme is back with a mullet that Mel Gibson would be proud of, in John Woos first western film.

a great story and great production values make this one of Van Dammes best movies. Homeless people are being hunted for money by rich people. One guy gets killed, and his daughter is looking for him. Just as she is about to get mugged by some goons, good old Van Damme saves the day.

She then pays him money to help her find dad. When he turns up dead, Van Damme finds himself involved in the game. Now the hunters become the hunted.

Fantastic from beginning to end, Hard Target is more of a fairy tale than a proper action movie if you read between the lines. Van Damme can run down a road quicker than it takes a bike to get him there. Guns never seem to run out of bullets, and the damsel in distress gets saved in the nick of time.

We never really learn much about Van Dammes character, which leaves a bit of mysticism to him. Being a Woo movie, you expect over the top set pieces, and he doesn't fail to deliver.

From a desolate street, to a warehouse shootout, Woo pulls no punches, and knows that every death is as absurd as the last.

camera-work is good, and there are some good tricks used throughout to make the film a little more tense.

it's a showcase for director and star, and neither fails to impress.

funny, crazy, guilty pleasure stuff.
