I might be the only one here, but I don't really want Dolph and Van Damme to team up again...

i agree with mosquito but dolph should be allowed to beat the shit out of him at least 3 times before he kills him really slowly and painfully and then drop him in a vatt of boiling acid just to make sure( i dont like the guy-does it show?)
p.s- what the heck is that boiled egg shaped lump on van dammes head??? its really weird

Never mess with Carrie!

Carrie you should have your own action movie. You can take on Van Damme and annihalate him. If you wish I could be your footstall in the film.

Sony put this movie on their upcoming page, but something is really wrong with the plot.

Sounds very much like the Controller again. They sure as shite had better not put that on the back of the cover. I can't believe how disgraceful some movies get treated through laziness. This better not be a sign of the DVD qaulity itself.

At least this time they got the synopsis right.
They better not put the wrong info on the DVD. It would be lazy nd sloppy beyond belief.

just thought of this right now... the release date is Valentines Day.
What better way to spend it than watching Dolph kick ass?

peace.

Sony has been sloppy with a lot of things lately. I was astounded when I found out they were putting rootkits on their music CDs. :x I honestly am fearing if their Blue-Ray DVDs every become a highly used standard. No telling what spyware will be on those to damage your computer. They may go the way of Betamax anyway.
