Re: Sudden Death needs an upgrade now!
Hopefully this relase will have it:

I know it says 1:33, but Universal often sneaks in new transfers into these multi movie sets. The previous release had a Anamorphic Widescreen of Timecop, where I believe the single release was 1:33
Anyway, Im crossing fingers for this and Lionheart

According to Universal's site it will be anamorphic in the new set (but Lionheart will not be). But we all know how reliable stuff like that is.
There was a thread about it the other day.

EDIT: Maxflier must have beat me by mere seconds!!!!

Re: Sudden Death needs an upgrade now!
Nice little guilty pleasure of mine, so i'm glad to see a widescreen release at last.

I just keep a separate section for my multi-movie sets. I may have to pick this up as Sudden Death is one of my favourite Van Damme movies.

Re: Sudden Death needs an upgrade now!
Universal does this a lot. For those worried about flippers, in this case, I would think it would be single-sided discs with two movies per disc (thus, no extras). That's what it was like on some other recent Universal Quadruple Features. It's this fact that causes them to remaster the titles (or perhaps planning for BD releases) because with two movies a disc, the transfers need to be re-compressed.

Timecop was also WSed, but unfortunately, it was in a different Van Damme quadruple feature. You'll end up with two copies of Hard Target and The Quest and two non-anamorphic films (Lionheart and Street Fighter).

Let's just hope Sudden Death gets a 2 Disc Special Edition release this year.

The first Van Damme 4 pack was 2 single sided disc. I picked it up the other day $5 used.

I wouldn't hold my breath. If it gets remastered for a Quadruple Feature that so far has been a solid, unbroken indication that the studio doesn't care to release it on its own. Street Fighter, for instance, was in the last Van Damme Quadruple Feature and was NOT remastered, because Universal just put out that new special edition of it all on its own.

Re: Sudden Death needs an upgrade now!
I don't know what could warrant a 2 disc version of Sudden Death. Anything that needs to be said bonus feature wise could easily fit on one disc. Audio Commentary, Trailers, behind the scenes, How to copy Die Hard 101 etc.
This comes out tomorrow, anyone with the final word on wether it's truly anamorphic widescreen or not?

DVDEmpire has the back cover art up for the four film set. Basically, everything is anamorphic except Lionheart, which is still Full Frame.
