Mill Creek Entertainment To Release A Nine Film Blu-ray Collection For Just $14.98 On June 5

This is not a misprint.   We even ask Mill Creek Entertainment if the pricing was correct … and they said, YES.

On June 5, consumers can create an instant Blu-ray library of nine action films for just (drum roll, please), $14.98.   Tippy-tap, tippy-tap, calculator working … WOW, that’s a $1.66 per Blu-ray film title.   

This five-disc Blu-ray collection is titled Action 9 Movie Collection and it includes not one or two, but no less than five Jean-Claude Van Damme action thrillers, plus two from Fast & Furious alumni, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson.

So let’s crack it open and let’er rip … 

Director Mic Rodgers’ 1999 sci-fi entry, Universal Soldier: The Return, starring Van Damme as Luc Deveraux (aka: GR44), the dead Vietnam vet, who was resurrected as a deadly cyborg in Universal Soldier … well, he’s back!   

The implants have been removed and he is back among the living, but when the secret program he is working on — new Universal Soldiers, or simply, UniSols — is about to be shutdown, the master control computer, S.E.T.H (an acronym for Self-Evolving Thought Helix), will have none of it and turns the UniSols loose … who are a truly unstoppable force.   Oh wait, they haven’t met Jean-Claude Van Damme!

Between the first Universal Soldier film in 1992 and Universal Soldier: The Return in 1999, Van Damme starred in one hit after another.   Mill Creek Entertainment has two of those from period.   These are director Ringo Lam’s 1996 box office smash, Maximum Risk, which finds Van Damme assuming the role of his dead twin brother — a Russian mobster — to solve his murder (Natasha Henstridge co-stars as his dead brother’s fiancé) and director Tsui Hark’s 1997 buddy action/comedy, Double Team, who teams up with none other than Dennis Rodman to stop an international terrorist (Mickey Rourke) who has kidnapped Van Damme’s pregnant wife (Natacha Lindinger).

Also in the mix are two direct-to-video action films starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, Second in Command (2006), Van Damme must defend the American Embassy in Moldavia with just a handful of Marines against impossible odds, and The Hard Corps (also from 2006 and co-starring Vivica A. Fox), which finds Van Damme as a body guard to a former boxing champ (Raz Adoti), who is being hounded by the mob.

Five Jean-Claude Van Damme and we’re not done yet!!!

The Fast & Furious alumni kick in with Vehicle 19 (Paul Walker) and Gridiron Gang (Dwayne Johnson), plus Mill Creek Entertainment rounds out the nine-film collection with You Got Served and Stomp the Yard.
