The legendary “Muscles from Brussels” Jean-Claude Van Damme (No Retreat, No Surrender, Kickboxer) teams up with world-famous action director John Woo (The Killer, Hard Boiled, Face/Off) and executive producer Sam Raimi (The Evil Dead, Spider-Man) for this electrifying thriller. Chance Boudreaux (Van Damme) is the target of an evil mercenary (Lance Henriksen, Aliens) who recruits combat veterans for the “amusement” of his clients—bored tycoons who will pay a half a million dollars to stalk and kill the most challenging prey of them all: Man. So when beautiful Natasha Binder (Yancy Butler, TV’s Witchblade) hires Chance in search of her missing father, she gets more than she bargained for. Screenwriter Chuck Pfarrer (Darkman) takes “The Most Dangerous Game” and laces it with dark humor and slam-bang action for the hard-hitting Hard Target, featuring Arnold Vosloo (The Mummy), Kasi Lemmons (The Silence of the Lambs) and Wilford Brimley (The Thing).

Can anyone tell or know what's status with audio issues on this edition. Are they already selling disc edition with fixed issues or still whoever buys this movie has to get replacement disc?

 

[Lenny Nero]

Anyone buy this French release of the movie?

Chasse à l'homme [Combo Blu-Ray + DVD] Amazon product

If it's really a digipack, I'd rather buy up them at €13, than €35-40 VHS boxes that have crappy foam rubber disc holders. Same discs inside from ESC, seemingly with new extras, as KinoLorber release.

Edit: Nevermind, found a couple of photos in a review on French Amazon of a similar release of Double Impact, it is a two-fold digipack! Plus official ESC website describes all these new Van Damme releases as digipacks.

I'm just going to get it, 100% sure there's no difference between a KinoLorber '4k' and a 4k mastered BD.
Plus there seems to be a a full 116-minute workprint version in a hidden menu on the French disc.

That’s not a 4K release.

Hard Target was originally released on 4K Ultra HD by Kino Lorber Studio Classics on December 7, 2021, but that disc was quickly found to have a problem with its 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio surround mix—the left and right surround channels were essentially reversed.
The barcode with issues is 738329256913.
The barcode with the corrected disc is 738329257903.
I have filled a form on the Kino Lorber website for a replacement disc. It should be with me in 30 to 45 days, estimated delivery.

Hope this helps.

The full work print version? That would be a find. Where’d you find that out?

I found it somewhere in the internet, auto-translated french post about this disc, but a member of this forum confirmed it in a dedicated thread here:
