His films, while not high-brow entertainment, were extremely entertaining. MVD Visual has been releasing Van Damme films for quite a while. And now it is time to upgrade some of these films to 4K UltraHD. There are not one but two new 4ks featuring Van Damme action.
Lionheart (1990) Upon receiving news that his brother in Los Angeles is seriously injured, Lyon Gaultier (Van Damme) Deserts the French Foreign Legion from a remote outpost in North Africa. Fleeing from two of the Legion's security force who have orders to bring him back at any cost, Lyon reluctantly turns to the illegal, bare-knuckles underground fighting circuit to raise the money he needs to help his brother's family.

Death Warrant (1990) Undercover detective Louis Burke is sent into a brutal maximum-security prison to investigate a string of mysterious inmate deaths. Inside, he discovers a deadly conspiracy involving corrupt officials and a horrifying organ-harvesting operation using prisoners as unwilling donors. As Burke navigates the violent world behind bars, he must confront ruthless guards, hostile inmates, and an old nemesis known as the Sandman--a psychotic killer Burke once put away. With time running out and danger closing in, Burke must rely on his wits and martial arts skills to survive, expose the truth, and bring justice to those behind the murderous scheme. Packed with high-impact action and gritty suspense, Death Warrant delivers a tense blend of prison drama and explosive combat.
