Given the fact how long this has taken to get a Blu-ray release, I was hoping they would finally release the Director's Cut but there's no mention of that.

I wonder which version it is? Got a horrible feeling its going to be the Theatrical Cut and not the unrated one.

Don't think were gonna get a Directors Cut, such a pity. Fingers still crossed.

 FYI this apparently includes both R rated and Unrated versions

Great. Hope there a good transfer.

Just watched :)

This is the definitive version IMO. I doubt the Blu Ray will even replace this version as my fav!

I love the soundtrack amazing quality lot of effort!

Especially love the building at the start when he jumps inside!

Overall the only issue was the flashback with the shotgun, it fit really well but when he grabs the beam on fire and it isnt there i had second thoughts... Not sure if its because i'm so use to it being there??

Great job with the picture quality and DTS was loud and I felt every punch kick bullet though my sound system!

I so hope we get the Directors Cut one day in blu ray! This will do until then or if we don't its the next best thing

Great job much appreciated!

9.5/10

This turned out really well. CSchmidlapp did a fantastic job. I want to watch it again this weekend!

Wow! Great job Commodore!

This edit is absolutely flawless...in fact, the picture looked better than my good old DVD. The editing itself is great, nothing seemed out of place. Better yet, the bike surfing is gone (nice touch) so this is all good. I have never seen the workprint but I don't see how it could be better than this Ultimate Cut; therefore, this is now my definitive version of Hard Target that I will watch again for sure.

Thanks for sharing this with us!

Thanks for the feedback and Im glad you enjoyed so much.

The shotgun sequence has been mentioned before, wanted to keep as close to the workprint as possible so this had to stay.

The DTS is the way to go, only included the AC3 incase somebody could not decode DTS.

Thanks again nickwpearce.

Speaking of the workprint,I read somewhere that there are Workprint A (2 hours and 34 seconds) and Workprint B (1 hour, 58 minutes and 55 seconds). Does anyone know the differences?

Here is a good break down of the workprints.

Sneek Peek (B) Vs Workprint (A)

Nice fan tweak from CSchmidlapp, using sources from domestic US release, as well as the harder international cut, and the VHS “Sneak Peek” workprint.  The result seemed much closer to Woo’s final stage of Hong Kong output.
Several scenes seemed little more than echoes from Hard Boiled.

One of Van Damme’s better roles, with Lance Henriksen and Arnold Vosloo outstanding as baddies.  Wilford Brimley as Cajun uncle is a classic of imbecile acting.

The edit was top rate.  Smooth, nothing jarring.  Music alterations were well done, also, and seemed to unify the structure better.

I was never happy that the DVD offered nothing beyond my Laserdisc copy.  This was great fun.  I'd say send a copy to JCVD to cheer his mood, but I guess not.

Thanks for the feed back Vultural. Glad you enjoyed it.

I don't think he likes Hard Target much.

Hi guys,
just wanted to leave a thumbs up for CSchmidlapp for making this edition. Really nice work.
