This was actually announced on the Kino Lorber Facebook page back in August. Just noticed it today.I'm excited for this release. This was a very underrated Cannon movie.

Definitely picking it up. I was wondering who would be releasing it ever since Dudikoff posted he did a commentary on his Facebook.

Ordered a copy and it came in today from Amazon.
Anyways, I watched the entire movie today & the extras. Pretty good transfer for a movie that's almost 30 years old. Some decent extras as well. Sam Firstenberg has an introduction to the movie and he really believed this was his best film.
There is also a new 11 minute interview with Dudikoff. He talks about his career and talks a little about Steve James. I liked how he mentioned that James was obsessed with his body.
I'm a fan of the Cannon library and it was good re-visiting this again. I hadn't seen this movie since probably the days of VHS. One thing I noticed at the end, they totally set up a sequel. There was a few unresolved storylines. Dudikoff even mentions in the interview that this movie totally sets up a sequel.
