LaserDisc Movie Storyline:
A young woman searching for her missing and homeless father in a seamy section of New Orleans is saved by a martial arts fighter, sometime merchant seaman, when a gang of thugs try to rob her. She hires the man to help track down the lost parent, and they both end up being the targets for a vicious gang of "human" hunters.
  Chance Boudreaux, a brawny merchant sailor who has come up on hard times saves doe-eyed Natasha Binder from a gang of thugs and she offers him a proposition; she'll pay him well if he'll help find her missing father in New Orleans. But her father may already have been killed by wealthy thrill-seeking businessmen who have made a sport of hunting forgotten, homeless, veterans, and if Chance and Natasha discover this deadly scheme, they just might, be the next victims.

LaserDisc Movie Review:
John Woo's first Hollywood feature stars Jean-Claude Van Damme as Chance Boudreaux, a down-and-out Cajun merchant seaman, who, after saving a young woman, Natasha Binder (Yancy Butler), from a gang of thugs on the streets of New Orleans, agrees to help her search for her father (Chuck Pfarrer), a homeless Vietnam vet. They locate local businessman Randall Poe (Elliott Keener), for whom the vet had been working, and learn that her father has become a victim of wealthy sportsman Emil Fouchon (Lance Henriksen), who, along with his cronies, hunts homeless men as a form of recreation. After Fouchon finds out that the girl is investigating the murder of her father, he arranges for she and Chance to be ambushed, but they manage to escape into the backwoods of Louisiana his stomping grounds. Realizing he needs to regroup, Fouchon assembles a private army to invade the bayous. They track the pair to the rustic cabin of Chance's Uncle Douvee (Wilford Brimley), and the real fireworks begin. --- Michael Costello

Switching from alter ego Chow Yun-Fat to Van Damme for his American debut, Woo goes from the sublime to the ridiculous, and while the film lacks the hard-edged focus of his best work, it has enough of the director's signature tricks to keep his fans happy. Another version of the oft-remade Richard Connell story, originally filmed as The Most Dangerous Game (1932), its dialogue seems to have been written with the star's limitations in mind, but his creative mangling of the Cajun accent will still leave many viewers begging for subtitles. The primitive story also lacks Woo's characteristic doppelganger theme, which would resurface in the superior Face/Off (1997) a few years later. Nonetheless, for those who are capable of appreciating Henriksen's demonic aristocrat as well as some vintage Woo set pieces, one in a Mardi Gras storage area, and another in a graveyard, the film is worth a look. --- Michael Costello
