I discovered Jean-Claude Van Damme just recently. In fact I watched my first Van Damme film this summer (Universal Soldier), and I was blown away. Thus, I have begun to buy as many Van Damme films I can find. Though he is not really an excellent actor, he is good at making the audience root for him. No matter how ridiculous his acting gets at time, you can't help but be on his side. At this point, I have watched Universal Solider, Universal Solider: Regeneration, JCVD, Kickboxer, and Replicant. When I found out that Bloodsport and Timecop would be put in the same Blu-ray for the very affordable price of 20 bucks, I pounced. I was not dissapointed. Bloodsport is Van Dammes' breakthrough film. It is the story of Frank Dux participating in the Kumite, while this story has by all means been debunked and Dux has been ousted as a fraud and a liar, this movie continues to be one of Van Damme's best performances. Timecop is the real gem here though. Out of all the Van Damme films I've seen, Timecop is one of the most enjoyable. I absolutely loved the movie and the sillines of it all. You should be warned that this a bare-bones release of both films and the quality of the movies is quite impressive. If you are a Van Damme fan, buy this set. It is completely worth the money.
Clearly Bloodsport is his best movie for what he does. He's a terrible actor and a moderately skilled martial artist, but what he does he does best. You end up hating the bad guys, and can't help but get excited as he rally's (at the end of every movie). Timecop is a throw away in my opinion-it was his highest grossing movie but Van Damme needed to stick with "fight" movies. Check out the rankings on IMDB and you'll see the same thing. Bloodsport, Kickboxer, Lionheart. The rest tried to go mainstream and any one of us could act better than him. Great to see this on blue-ray, a profound difference from the VHS. Even my wife enjoyed the movie (it helps he was Mr. Belgium I'm sure)....
Good movies, plenty of action. A good buy, 2 in one.
I am not going to review the films themselves rather how they look and sound on blu-ray.BLOODSPORT:being the older and cheaper of the two films you would expect it to have the worst video and audio and it has.The picture is fine though compared to dvd,could it be better,yes,but for the price i paid i don't think so.The audio in my opinion is worse than the video(i know its only DTS-HD 2.0)but i still had to adjust my system(which isn't the greatest i will admit)a lot to get the best sound possible.TIMECOP:the audio(5.1 DTS-HD) and video are good,easily way better than the dvd.The picture is really good thru out and it holds up well even with the more modern CGI effects.The opening scene in particular is excellent.I don't own either film on dvd but i have seen them a couple of times on dvd.So for 12/13 dollars they are worth getting especially if you are a JVC fan.

I love Jean Claude Van Damme so his movies too. Both titles are great, solid story
Bloodsport looks about as good as you can get at the moment and it's still a well made martial arts movie. My wife and I enjoyed it immensely with a few alcoholic beverages. Van Damme delivers in this one! Who cares if the acting is sometimes a bit off?
Plus acheté pour Bloodsport (quasi introuvable en Belgique ou pour le prix d'un rein) que Timecop. Un régal de retrouver un des meilleurs films de tournoi (ce n'est pas le scénario qui brille, on est d'accord, mais les scènes de combat sont un vrai régal) qui a en plus le mérite d'avoir lancé la carrière de notre sympathique JCVD. Plaisir aussi de le voir en vostfr, la traduction française étant plus que limite au niveau des dialogues et rend parfois insupportable de racisme le personnage de Jackson. Comique aussi de voir Forest Withaker, alors débutant, jouer au côté de Van Damme.Le bluray tourne parfaitement (je les lis sur PS3 européenne), image correcte (adieu ma VHS :-)) et surtout plaisir de revoir un film qui a bercé mes 11 ans.
Bloodsport is a classic a great character Chong Li is acted by Bolo Yong who stars also in enter the dragon with Bruce Lee and in Van Dammes Double Impact and yes it plays on North America Blu Ray players
