3.0 out of 5 starsGreat film, not so great DVD
By Sqaure Eyes on 3 Nov. 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Please Note: The 3 star rating is for the Universal 2002 DVD release of the movie. I would probably give the actual film 5 stars. It is listed as widescreen, when it is in fact Full Frame. This means watching the movie with black bars on either side or changing the settings of my flatscreen from 16:9 to 4:3, which makes the image look worse and rather stretched. AWOL would really benefit from a widescreen presentation as it is a relatively low budget film from the early 90s, hence why the picture quality isn't great. If I'm not mistaken, the Kickboxer DVD from 'Pyramid' suffers from the same problem. As for the film itself, if you're a Van Damme fan, then this is essential viewing. Double Impact and Bloodsport both look great on DVD so its a pity AWOL hasn't received the same treatment. Check out Blu Ray.com where 'Lionheart' (as it is known in the U.S) scored 4/5 on picture quality. Its a new release in the U.S, so it might be a while before the UK gets it.

4.0 out of 5 starsNot The Definitive Version I Hoped For
By TonyV on 24 July 2015
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
I have been waiting for a DVD / Bluray release of this that is better than the 1990s Guild Home Video Laserdisc that I have had for many years. The first UK DVD I bought has a bad transfer, kind of yellow tinted, as others have mentioned.
This 101 Films Bluray has a good transfer, and is the best I've seen of this film...however it is cut compared to other version I own, and the cuts don't make any sense.
This isn't extensive, but the ones I noticed were:
1. Lyons brothers fire scene at the start was shorter
2. The scene where Cynthia loses it and tells Lyon that their relationship is now purely business and that he should deal with Russell, is effectively gone
3. The part where the 2 guys betting on Lyon against Atillia is cut, they no longer call him a "meek fellow"

I don't know why these were cut. They weren't controversial and aided the plot.

But regardless, if you don't know / love the film as much as I do, then you won't know they're missing and like I say it's a good transfer, a better buy than one of the earlier DVDs and I hope 101 films keep up releasing "cult" films like this at a decent price.

3.0 out of 5 starsDecent, for an early Van Damme
By Steven TOP 1000 REVIEWER on 11 Jun. 2013
Format: DVD
The early Van Damme movies were like one remake after another but they significantly upped the budget for this stateside vehicle. It's still little more than a glossy Karate movie and something of a mash up between Bloodsport and Kickboxer. Van Damme is a Legionnaire who deserts his desert posting to take care of the wife and child of his deceased brother. Enrolling in the underground fight scene he's quickly picked up by socialite femme fatale who puts his talents to good use in ever more exclusive and violent venues.

2.0 out of 5 starsVan Damme is the best but this DVD isnt!!!
By Mr. Cpr Bottomley on 21 Jun. 2010
Format: DVD
Jean Claude Van Damme is one of if not the best Action Heroes of all time. Wrong Bet or AWOL as it is known in the UK is also one of his best. So to hear there is a dutch release of the film Uncut and Uncensored I was really excited. I received the DVD and watched it immediately only to find that it is the same as any other release I have owned included the VHS I bought some 15 years ago. To say I am gutted would be an understatement. The film is still class but if your hoping for some extra footage then your in for a let down. The quality of picture on this DVD is far worse than the UK release which was also a let down as it is the same quality as the old VHS!
Please note my 2 star rating is only for this DVD release not the film itself and certainly not for JCVD

5.0 out of 5 starsA memorable and enjoyable classic movie, now on blu ray.
By Jianu Mircea on 7 Jan. 2016
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
This one of the Van Damme's new blu ray released being part of the The Cult Movie Collection, which include titles like Missing in Action, Black Eagle or Death Warrant. This blu ray was one of my favorite movie that I've watched when I was young boy and I really enjoy it. I like that the release company kept the original print which it is cool. The disc dosn't have any extras but definitely the quality is amazing.

4.0 out of 5 stars"..CLASSIC VAN DAMME MOVIE.."
By SDX on 26 May 2015
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
This is certainly one of Van Damme's best early movies, a must have for action fans and cult fight movies of the 90's, also better known as Lionheart in America and A.W.O.L.: Absent Without Leave in the UK, Van Damme plays Lyon Gaultier, a deserter from the Foreign Legion arriving in the USA to find his brother has died and his sister-in-law without the money to maintain her and her child. To earn the money needed Gaultier decides to take part in some very dangerous street fights, There is plentiful action throughout this movie with lots of great fight scenes and Van Damme high kicking plenty of butt, its fast is violent its great entertainment, the rest of the cast is good too, look out for a cameo from karate champion Billy Blanks at the beginning, a must for all Van Fans!!

Blu-ray picture is pretty decent (101 films) a tad grainy in places but still looks better than DVD,
No special features which is a shame (not even a trailer at least?)
Region B, 105-mins, 1990.
