I do too, but I beleive Jox has multiple versions of a lot of them, so he wins. Or loses, depending on how you see it.

Multiple versions on multiple formats (VHS, Laserdic, DVD and now Blu-ray -- even a 16mm film print copy of MOTU)

LD are just for show (I've started collecting them since a year or two), as for the others it was always part of my quest to find the best quality edition and special features...

Wow... You are The Ultimate Dolph Fan... (and something of a nerd). But I always wondered; do you have other actors and performers of which you are an equal fan? Do you also have all of Van Dammes movies in different versions for example?

I just added Black jack to my dvd collection last weekend.

I sure am and always been a bit of a nerd, but in DL's case I'd rather call myself a scholar (which I made a point to become pretty young, and then reaffirmed when I wrote my masters thesis on DL's movies 10 years ago - and currently still working at my book project I mentioned a few years back)!

And no, I'm not a fan of anybody else like that, and even if I was that wouldn't be possible to keep up like that! (and I haven't seen all the VD movies, I like a bunch of them but far from a fan, as a parallel to Dolph I do keep informed on his career, as well as the other old-school action stars from the 80s-90s era...

And aside from that, huge film buff as well, generally speaking, pretty geeky knowledge of cinema and of the most eclectic tastes...

Just an idea, but, if you own almost all of DL's films it might be easier to write down the handful that you don't have...

I used to have ALL of them on VHS (I'm that old), then I tossed the VHS and got them all on DVD. I am refusing BluRay as I am 100% that the future is downloadable files.

I still have the ones on VHS, and I still contend that some of those have the better covers, especially Masters. But I have a feeling that if I try to watch any of them on VHS now that the tape might break! Last time I watched his fitness video, it was starting to look quite rough. Even with proper storage, it will not last forever.

This list was one that I had posted previously and it was quicker at the time to just add on to it instead of looking for the titles I didn't own. Anyway, I think I need only 3 more titles and that will complete what's available on region 1 pressed DVD's. I refuse to get MOD's.

Sure, plus it feels nice to see all of you DL movies all lined upp in a long list, it's just tough to read.

That's exactly it with discs and tapes and stuff, but as long as you have you digital copies backed up in safe places they won't deteriorate.
I grew up on audio casette and VHS tapes but I don't really miss them. They would get chewed up by the player and lose quality, etc. and they were just frustrating.

DVD:
Rocky 4
The Punisher
Universal Soldier
Dark Angel
Army of One
Men of War
Silent Trigger
Bridge of Dragons
The Russian Specialist

Blu-Ray:
Rocky 4
Red Scorpion
Universal Soldier
Hidden Assassin (Action 6-Pack)--Picked this up for Equilibrium
Universal Soldier: Regeneration

I'm a big Dolph fan, but by no means a completist. No room for movies I won't re-visit often, so I try to stick to my favorites . I'm hoping to pick up the upcoming Men of War Blu-Ray two-pack if the transfer turns out well...
