The Van Damme Collection (UK-import)
Triple bill of cult action features starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. In "Black Eagle" (1988), a top secret US tracking device goes missing when the F-111 fighter jet transporting it is shot out of the sky. The KGB, led by the infamous Andrei (Van Damme), have the upper hand in their race with the CIA to retrieve it, until the Americans level the playing field by enlisting the help of martial arts expert Ken Tani (Shô Kosugi), code-named the Black Eagle. In "Lionheart" (1990), Van Damme stars as tough French legionnaire Lyon Gaultier, who goes absent without leave when his brother is fatally wounded during a botched drug deal. He travels to New York where he is soon making money for his brother's widow (Lisa Pelikan) and child (Ashley Johnson) as a bare-knuckle boxer. But the Foreign Legion is on his trail and his new boss Cynthia (Deborah Rennard) is soon taking bets on his forthcoming death. In "Death Warrant" (1990), renegade cop Louis Burke (Van Damme) poses as a prison inmate in order to investigate a series of suspicious murders in the maximum-security Harrison Penitentiary in California. Burke must use his full arsenal of martial arts skills when he uncovers the truth about the killings and is forced to attempt a daring escape after his true identity is revealed to his fellow prisoners.
