On this day in 1991, UNIVERSAL PICTURES released LIONHEART. Directed by SHELDON LETTICH from a story by JEAN-CLAUDE VAN DAMME, this story of a Foreign Legion deserter who finds himself destitute in America and turning to professional street fighting to make ends meet was (and is) a treat for fans of the ‘Muscles from Brussels.’ VAN DAMME heads the cast that also includes LISA PELIKAN, BRIAN THOMPSON and ASHLEY JOHNSON.
