From MVD Rewind's Facebook:

"Greetings and salutations, fellow collectors. I have some news to share.

Double Impact is being pushed to a tentative April 2019. Truth be told, we want Van Dam...me on the bonus materials and I wish I had this title in my possession when we landed him for "Lionheart" but we didn't so we have to start the process all over again. I'll keep you posted on the progress. It's coming, just not in time for February 26th. However, I didn't want to leave you empty handed so I'm happy to announce this awesome title (first time ever release in North America on DVD or Blu-ray) in it's place:

SHOWDOWN (Special Edition)

Starring Billy Blanks, Kenn Scott, Christine Taylor, Ken Mcleod, Linda Dona, Brion James and Patrick Kilpatrick

From the director of BEST OF THE BEST I & II!

Ken Marks (Kenn Scott, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze) finds a dangerous enemy on his first day at his new school; an enemy who makes his living as the champion of an illegal fighting operation. School janitor and ex-cop Billy Grant (Billy Blanks, The Last Boy Scout) trains Ken to defend himself. What Billy doesn’t know is that the man behind it all is the one man from his past who wants him dead.

This classic martial arts blockbuster from the director of Best of the Best features an all-star cast that includes Christine Taylor (The Wedding Singer), Patrick Kilpatrick (Death Warrant), James Lew (Best of the Best) and Brion James (Blade Runner) in the movie the proves there’s not a problem in the world that a good roundhouse kick to the face can’t solve.

SPECIAL FEATURES (NOT FINAL)
• High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation of the main feature in 1.78:1 aspect ratio
• Audio: English 5.1 Surround, 2.0 Stereo
• Subtitles TBD
• BRAND NEW – Bonus Features that will include interviews with Director Robert Radler, writer Stuart Gibbs, and star Billy Blanks & Patrick Kilpatrick (more to be announced (we hope)
• Photo Gallery
• Original Theatrical Trailer (SD)
• Collectible Mini- Poster

1) Our version of the film is 98 mins long and is presumably the R rated version (Same as the old laser disc which shows and "R" rating and is also 98 mins). Don't ask for both, I only have one version.

2) We only have English language and I'm not certain if this will have any subtitles at all. IF it does have subtitles, it will likely be English (sorry).

3) Please don't ask for "Best of the Best" (I or II). We don't have them and we don't have a deal with Sony, which controls the first one)."



And that's not all! We also have Nemesis 2-4 on the radar:

"***DOUBLE IMPACT UPDATE***

Here's an update on the upcoming "Double Impact" Collectors Edition Blu-ray starring Jean-Claude Van Damme arriving from MVD Rewind Collection on April 9th!
"MVD's Collector's Edition release has the theatrical version in HD (from MGM) and then, with the help of a Mr. Sheldon Lettich, we have uncovered not one but TWO NEVER BEFORE SEEN alternate versions of Double Impact on VHS (sorry but that's the only way these exist) that will also be on this release (in SD... we digitized them) as well! One of them has alternate ending (I'm told). We'll put both versions on the discs (in their entirety) and then we will also isolate the deleted scenes for a separate feature (in case someone doesn't want to watch the movie three times to compare).""

THE FUTURE JUST GOT DARKER!

NEMESIS 2: NEBULA: 73 years after the events in NEMESIS, humans have lost the Cyborg Wars and they are now slaves to the cyborg masters. Rebel scientists have developed a new DNA strain, which could signal the end of the cyborgs, and it is injected it into a pregnant volunteer. When the cyborgs learn of the woman and her baby, both are listed for termination. To escape, the woman steals a cyborg ship and is transported back in time to East Africa in 1980, where the mother is killed, but the baby is saved. It takes 20 years, but a cyborg bounty hunter named Nebula (Chad Stahelski, John Wick) eventually locates the young woman, named Alex (Sue Price), and travels back in time to terminate her.

NEMESIS 3: TIME LAPSE: Alex finds that she has twenty half-sisters who are waiting for her to return to the year 2077. Central Command wants Alex (Sue Price) captured alive and scanned to see if her DNA is a strong and more powerful strain than normal. But Alex may be too tough for Farnsworth (Tim Thomerson, Near Dark) to capture.

NEMESIS 4: CRY OF ANGELS: Following an uneasy ceasefire between the humans and the cyborgs, Alex Sinclair (Sue Price) is making a living in the future working as a cybernetically-enhanced assassin for her boss Bernardo (Andrew Divoff, Wishmaster). But when Alex accidentally targets the wrong man and kills the son of a major crime syndicate head, she finds herself on the run once again as every assassin in town comes to collect the bounty on her.

"We did not go crazy with bonus features or anything because based on collector feedback, there was far less fan interest in these sequels than the original (in fact, the reason why I did not group these together with the original in a box set was because I was asked not to countless times). That said, please take note of the $24.95 Suggested Retail Price.This release contains the three official sequels (I'm sorry, but that new movie that was made calling itself "part 5" or whatever does not exist in the dojo) on one BD-50 and just a little bit of bonus material to keep the costs down. Maybe at some point in the future we'll do some kind of "Ultimate Edition" with all 4 films and make some new features (again, MAYBE, not definitively) but for now I'm making this cheap enough so even those who swore never to buy these will give in to their inner completist OCD and crack and pick this release up. Also, before you ask, there are no subtitles and no other languages other than English (again, keeping the budget low on this) and it is Region Free / All Region."



Oh ..... is $16.81 at Amazon right now. Hurry!!!!!!!

Boogie Boy coming in May (with a new 4K restoration!):
https://mvdb2b.com/s/BoogieBoySpecialEdition/MVD0778BR

 

MVD Rewind has posted a lot of info on Facebook these last 2 days, so I'll give you some rundowns:

From March 14th:

https://www.facebook.com/MVDRewindCollection/posts/988837971307217

"Hey everyone... Sorry for going MIA for a bit. Been really busy behind the scenes but truth be told, I just took a little break from social media overall both professionally and personally. But I'm back today with some updates.

First... You may have noticed that the street date for Double Impact pushed to May 28th. This title was a license from MGM and as a result there are more creative and legal people involved and whatever we do, MGM has to approve everything we would like... include in this release. The rules are a little different working with a big corporation and the approval process is exceptionally detailed and things take a little longer as a result, I will say the team over at MGM is great (some of the people that I'm working with on this release were there back when I worked at MGM so it was fun to reconnect) and this release is shaping up nicely. I hope to have a final update with all of the features later today.

Second... I have been busy with acquisitions, many of which are for the Marquee Collection (MVD Collector's Brands) which have come together a little sooner so follow that page for announcements.

Finally... I've started making arrangements for Split Second. I have nothing to announce for that title but If everything comes together, it's gonna be great.

Stay tuned and keep following!"



Now before you start getting excited about Split Second, they clarified the following the next day:

https://www.facebook.com/MVDRewindCollection/posts/989458161245198

"Please allow me to clarify something...

I did not officially announce Split Second. Perhaps I spoke out of turn but right now I am just looking into this title. As of today we have not commissioned any new transfer of this film nor have we produced any bonus features. It is not on the schedule as of today and does not have a street date assigned to it. So despite Blu-ray.com eagerness to report this news, there is no news with this film.

My official news regarding "Split Second" is... I am looking into it. When there is an official announcement you will see it posted here. Sorry for the confusion."




Now onto some extra listings!:

And Double Impact (along with a few words):

"So we have the final details regarding our Double Impact Collector's Edition. First, I want to thank Sheldon Lettich for his participation, support and contribution for this project. It was a huge undertaking and could not have been done without his help. I also want to thank the the cast including Jean-Claude Van Damme, and producers that participated and help make this release special. And a SUP...ER THANKS to Richard Schenkman who produced these wonderful special features. He did an amazing job bringing these to life and really make this release something special. Once again he delivered a making of documentary that is longer than the movie itself!

Couple of things... I had posted a while back that I hoped to include two "alternate versions" of the film. Due to certain rights and clearance issues, we were not able to include these rough cuts. We were, however, permitted to excise the never before seen footage in these cuts and bring you close to an hour of deleted and extended scenes. I would have loved to have had the option to show these cuts but clearance issues prevented us from including them. Either way, I'm thrilled that we still have the opportunity to share these with you.

You are going to love the new interviews with Jean-Claude Van Damme. He's informative, entertaining and fun.To have landed him for both Lionheart and now Double Impact is one of the highlights of my career,

The final street date for this is May 28th. If I think we can get everything done sooner, I'll see about moving up the street date, So, without further adieu, here is the final list of features and artwork for DOUBLE IMPACT!

Twin brothers torn apart by violence.
On a mission of revenge.
One packs a punch.
One packs a piece.
Together they deliver… DOUBLE IMPACT

What could be better than Jean-Claude Van Damme (Lionheart) in an explosively entertaining action extravaganza? Two of him! There's twice the excitement, twice the mayhem and twice the fun in this turbo-charged adventure that pushes the thrills into overdrive.

Van Damme leaps into the dual roles of Chad and Alex Wagner, twin brothers who were separated after their parents' brutal murder. Years later, the two couldn't be more different: Chad is a slick Beverly Hills fitness instructor, while Alex is a rough and tumble smuggler on the gritty streets of Hong Kong. But when fate throws them together again, Chad and Alex discover that there's one thing they have in common: they're both fighting machines! Determined to enact revenge on their parents' killers, the martial-arts experts kick, chop and shoot all the way to an electrifying final showdown aboard a gargantuan freighter in Hong Kong harbor.

Mind Games is coming out on 2/11/20. It's an old favorite of mine, and certainly welcome in HD. It never had an official DVD release.

Mikey (1992) is also coming sometime from MVD in 2020, which is a personal favorite.

 

Yes! I can still remember the concerned look on my parents' faces when watching this as a kid with them back in the 90s.

 

Glad to hear about MINDGAMES with Maxwell Caulfield and Shawn Weatherly. Enjoyed this one - love the score and Caulfield is terrific.

 

All I remember about Mind Games is that Caufield tries to turn their son gay by parading around in front of him in tighty-whities and sharing a sleeping bag with him. And he plays the flute (a not-so-subtle Pied Piper reference). It's very WTF.

 

Definitely buying this film. It's awhile away, but after purchasing it I'm gonna wait until April 8th to watch it....

 

Mind Games specs have been revealed: https://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=25900&page=

Special Features and Technical Specs:

• High-definition presentation of the film
• BRAND NEW"The Making of Mind Games" (HD, 108 mins) [brand new feature length retrospective of the film featuring interviews with stars Maxwell Caulfield, Matt Norero and Shawn Weatherly, producer Mary Apick and director Bob Yari]
• BRAND NEW "Bob Yari: Portrait of a Producer" (HD, 33 mins) [retrospective featurette on the career of the producer of the Academy Award Best Picture Winning "Crash", "The Illusionist" , "Find Me Guilty" and many others]
• Original Theatrical Trailer (SD, 01:13 mins)
• Reversible Sleeve Featuring Alternate Artwork
• Collectible Mini-Poster
• Optional English SDH subtitles for the main feature

I mean wow, as a longtime fan of the film I am stoked. A 108 minute documentary with both Maxwell Caulfield and Shawn Weatherly? That's just a dream come true.
