Check out the badass cover!

Like it!!! Hope the audio's 5.1 as advertised...

Awesome!!!

Is it available on dvd here in the states?

It appears to have been discontinued by the manufacturer. I bought a copy of the R1 not that long ago too. You can still view it and order it used here:

Yeahello...?

I just posted another little stupidity on my Youtube page. It´s the"house fight" from Black Jack recut into 30 seconds. In this one I changed EVERY cut (the action is,cool but slooow in the real version ) and I started over with the sound effects and put new music on.

It´s extremely short and frantic, but it´s like a teaser for a Black Jack version that doesn´t exist (except in my mind).

There was some awesome action filmed for this flick but the final editing, sound effects and music water it down a lot. They could have made a sweet action piece out of the footage.

P.S. Most importantly: I edited out the little girl from the scene

Heh, nice work. Good idea editing the girl out. But we just don't share the same taste in music I guess. Why didn't you choose Henry Mancini or something?

Thank you, I did the world a favour by getting rid of that kid.

Because I´m awesome

Great work!!!

Thank god you edited out the little girl--I cannot stand her! "Uncle Jack, roundhouse! 5 o'clock!"

John Woo is probably stewing over it in bed at how cringe-worthy that was.

"Black Jack" - good movie. i just saw it for the first time last week, thursday. the dance - my GOD have mercy, soooo sexxxy. GOD bless him.

Does anyone else have a huge affinity for this flick?! Just the simple fact that it was a backdoor TV pilot directed by John Woo makes this stand out in Dolph's filmography. Woo was coming off his first bonafide US success with Face/Off and he decides to direct this. Is it a quality piece of work? Yeah right. But for some reason I just dig it's cheesy quality. It really was a change of pace for Dolph with the supporting characters, the costumes, the locales, etc.
Has anybody seen the making of? I saw it's on the Japanese DVD but I don't live in Japan.

I've seen it as I luckily found a used copy of the Japanese DVD. It's a 10 mins promotional EPK but for a Dolph flick it's of course better than nothing and you get your share of behind the scenes footage, cast and crew interviews etc.
A few screenshots here

Cool screenshots. I would love to see the making of feature.

I haven't seen this film in years but I thought Dolph and John Woo would be an incredible combo. Boy was I disappointed. I think Blackjack was one of Dolph's worst. I even enjoyed Storm Catcher, Agent Red and Retrograde more.

I know it was a TV pilot so it couldn't be too violent but I just thought it was really stupid and lame.

Maybe if I saw it again I would have a little bit of a change of heart(like I did with Sweepers).

I actully love this film, one of his best.. Men Of War and Showdown might be better and of course Rocky. Absolutely incredible action scenes and the story is fine, a shame it didn’t get a sequel .
