Story Synopsis:
The Quest is an imaginative, martial arts action adventure set in a time where men with big dreams still embarked on impossible quests. Jean-Claude Van Damme stars as Chris Dubois, an idealistic street criminal who sets out on an odyssey of self discovery that spans from the slums of 1920s New York to the Lost City of Tibet. Chris’ journey ultimately takes him to the fabled Ghan-gheng competition. Here, the deadliest fighters from around the world employ the most spectacular feats of martial arts to win the prized Golden Dragon.
LaserDisc Picture:
The exemplary picture is framed at 2.35:1 as were the scope theatrical prints. Colors are vivid with deep blacks and natural fleshtones. Noise and artifacts are not apparent in this sharp and detailed transfer.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack is dynamic with aggressive surround envelopment throughout. The score is expansive and well recorded with excellent imaging and depth. Dialogue is natural and spatially well integrated with the other sound elements. Bass extends to below 25Hz and aggressive surrounds and directional effects produce an exciting holosonic soundfield that is sure to please.
