Van Damme’s Kickboxer Punches Blu-ray
Wow! This is going back in time to some wonderful childhood memories when I first discovered the “Muscles from Brussels,” Jean Claude Van Damme. Kickboxer was one of Van Damme’s biggest domestic box office hits. The film hit the theatres in 1987 and I remembered being glued to my television watching the VHS version of this movie over and over again, practicing Van Damme’s every move. Ahh…to be young again… Anyway, I am pleased to report that Lionsgate will be bringing Kickboxer to the Blu-ray format on June 16th as a special low priced Blu-ray. So I would not expect much in the way of any significant extras or bonus features. The only technical specs published as of yet include a 5.1 DTS-HD MA audio surround track and a 1080P presentation. Below, please find the full press released issued by Lionsgate on this “monumental” release. Now, if they can only bring Bloodsport to the Blu-ray format next. I will be in nirvana.
