Jean Claude Van Dayum

I've never been a fan, but the best tagline was 'Double the Van Damage.'

 

I remember remarking to my brother when Double Impact came out, "He's not a good enough actor to play ONE person, let alone two."

 

Bloodsport was great. In a weird bit of circular cause and effect, we probably wouldn't have the Street Fighter 2 video game without it, which means Van Damme wouldn't have been in the Street Fighter movie. Spooky.

 

Very meta.

I'm not ashamed to admit I loved Bloodsport, Kickboxer and Cyborg. And, yes, he had to have been the inspiration for Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat.

"Get him, Kurt."

"Cut these ropes"

 

If I ranked my three favorite movies from Van Damme it would probably look like this:

-Kickboxer
-Bloodsport
-Hart Target

 

I thoroughly enjoyed Kickboxer and Bloodsport. Hard Target was pretty good as well.

Guilty pleasures: Lionheart, Double Impact, Timecop, Nowhere to Run, Death Warrant, Cyborg

Didn't care for: Universal Soldier (loved the beginning, hated the rest of the movie); Everything from Street Fighter to JCVD, admittedly, I have not seen all of them, but this would include The Quest, Maximum Risk, Sudden Death, Double Team...

 

I show you some trick or two.

In college, aside from Star Wars, Godfather and Bond films, the movies we watched the most often would have been:

Point Break
Double Impact
UHF
Top Secret

 

I ain't your pal, dickface.
