On February 17, 2026, MVD is releasing the 4K Ultra HD for Lionheart, a 1990 martial arts actioner starring Jean-Claude Van Damme (Black Water, Kill ’em All, Until Death).
Van Damme stars as a soldier drawn into the world of modern-day gladiators fighting for the amusement of the rich in this fast moving action thriller co-written by Van Damme himself!
Upon receiving news that his brother in Los Angeles is seriously injured, Lyon Gaultier (Van Damme) deserts the French Foreign Legion from a remote outpost in North Africa. Fleeing from two of the Legion’s security force who have orders to bring him back at any cost, Lyon reluctantly turns to the illegal, bare-knuckles underground fighting circuit to raise the money he needs to help his brother’s family.
The film – also known as Wrong Bet as A.W.O.L. – is directed by Sheldon Lettich (Double Impact) and stars Harrison Page (Bad Ass), Deborah Rennard (Gang Related), Lisa Pelikan (Circle), Ashley Johnson (Last of Us video game), Brian Thompson (Cobra), Michel Qissi (Kickboxer) and Jeff Speakman (The Perfect Weapon).
