Universal Pictures officially announced the release details of action star Dolph Lundgren’s latest home video contribution with lead actor Matthew Reese, Riot. Perhaps the best part of all this in my perspective is seeing CBR Stunt Team at the forefront of this little gem after having covered their work for about a few years before this and it’s the kind of result I would like to see for a lot of inspired stunt coordinators I discuss on here, including credited co-stars Michaela Chernoch and Amy Sturdivant.
Another winner would be one for UFC fight fans with former champion Chuck Liddell making his own mark here as a Russian crimeboss working the police from the inside. I’m curious to see how he pulls off the accent myself, but in the meantime, here are the goods!
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., March 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Action superstar Dolph Lundgren (The Expendables) and UFC champion Chuck Liddell (Kick Ass 2) are “caged to kill” in Riot, the adrenaline-fueled knock out arriving on Digital HD March 22, 2016 and on Blu-ray™, DVD and On Demand on April 5, 2016 from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Filled with non-stop action and thrilling suspense, Riot on Blu-ray™ and DVD also stars Matthew Reese (One Shot, The Eleventh Hour) and Danielle Chuchran (Storm Rider) and is the perfect gift for action fans, arriving just in time for Father’s Day!
Copper Jack Stone purposefully orchestrates a bank robbery in order to be thrown into prison with the notorious Russian kingpin, Balam. Balam is more than just a mob criminal, he’s a very cunning and dangerous lord who controls the police force from behind bars. Balam lives in prison as a cover for his real power, which is King of the city. His cell is a lavish private room built specifically for him, inaccessible to most in the depths of the prison structure. Even the warden fears venturing into his area of the prison. However, even surrounded by his loyal henchmen and guards in his sectioned off fortress, Balam doesn’t know Jack is coming for him to avenge his family, whom Balam murdered in cold blood. Balam is tough…but Jack is tougher.
