Best Jean Claude Van Damme movie?

Don't make me spew.

He's the worst actor in history.

I bought this Van Damme movie recently called Inferno only because Miyagi was in it and it's the worst movie to grace my tele screen.
Tired format tired actor same movements.

All his movies are generally sh*t however for some reason I watched the sh*t out of Bloodsport when I was little..

Some of the best dialogue in this movie and it's all stuck fortunately (unfortunately)..

What the hell is a dimmuck?
I ain't your pal dickface..
Good, but brick don't fight back..
If you expect me to be punching bag, you can forget about our deal..

His new movie "JCVD" is pretty sweet. He plays himself in it, and mainly speaks in french (he can actually act when speaking his first languague)

Double Impact. Van Damme vs Van Damme - doesn't get better than that! Also some great lines in there ..

"With my muscles, and my karate, I can do the splits ... NO PROBLEM" at which point it shows JCVD doing the splits and thrusting at the ground to a crowd of admiring ladies ...

Hard Target is pretty unintentionally funny, so is the one where he is the security guard at the hockey game and ends up going on the ice at one point!

Out of his new ones, there is one where his wife and her parents are murdered in their families chinese restaurant and JCVD just goes on a rampage which is pretty cool, it comes in one of those cheap 3 DVD packs.

#1 Kickboxer - Would love to see it again.
#2 Bloodsport - F*cking love it - I just choked when I saw that youtube link. The music from the final fight scene always gets stuck in my head during epic adventures.

AWOL. Or as its known here, Wrong Bet.

It actually has a good story line with decent characters you care for. Not common traits in van Damme movies which elevates it IMO to more than just one of his typical corny action flick.

And shame on all of you for failing to mention The Quest!!! Now that's GOLD.

I thought it was known as "Lionheart" overseas. - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100029/

looks like it was known as "AWOL" in the UK.

my fav is Kickboxer, followed by Bloodsport and then Double Impact. Hard Target was great too, but he strayed away from kickin too much ass and started using a lot of guns. It was tight though. And The Quest is how Street Fighter should of been!!!!

You know it's funny watching that Breakin' you tube clip as I didn't know Mitchell Qiusi was there with Van Damn as well.

He played Tong Po in Kick Boxer 2.

He was also Pardas from Blood Sport the guy who knew to weaken Chong Li in the gut.

I like Kick Boxer 2:the road back.
The music from it is first class and the evil meany from Cyborg is one of the goons in a suit as well.
Peter Boil....Vince murdoco from that Don the Dragon film and one of my personal favorites below

This guy's a f*cking mad man......He always has witty one liners....''now you have one hand left to wipe your arse with, do you want to keep it!''

Don't make me laugh by saying Van Damn got better with age with his acting.
When Van Damn made this film

10hz9.jpg


you knew it was the end of him as he looked like a crack head and the movie was f*cked!

I watched one of those bio channels where they done Van Damn and his agent or manager goes, ''I personally believe his best film is yet to come!'':lol:
Har Har very funny, mother f*cker!

No body mentioned The Quest..I saw that in Seattle and thought it was decent. The ending sucked but it was ok I guess.
On a lesser note Time Cop was half decent too. Sort of.

P.S. Breakin' is called Breakdance in this country with part 2 called Electric Boogaloo which I still have the music cassette to.
And Ice T was in the original as well.
"Electric Boogaloo, girrrlll you turn me on with just a single kiss...... I love the way you dooo meee."

P.P.S. if you wanna see a f*cked movie and Van Damme at his lowest then watch this

87305L.jpg


Miyagi deserves better and shouldn't have been in this film it was f*cked!

Van Damme is always about having a brother or cousin killed then he avenges by fighting and winning the girl over, in this Inferno film he half dies and seeks revenge over the honour of a motor bike!
No plot no acting no direction nothing!
Miyagi dumping bodies and burying them in plastic?

Van Damme goes in my Korn, Mariyln Manson, NIN so on and so on never-to-buy-again or listen to again waste bin!
Sellout hasbeen!

Oh-kay u.s.a......oh-K u.ess.eh!

How's this for frightening?

Hey, you can do what you want man but don't touch me!
Mustn't be a lucky night!
NOW!

Combat combat...now hip hopping is a way of life...with graffiti and rapping on the mike...hip hop lives down the street chucka chucka doo doo doo fuzzza fuzza voo.

If you watch Fat Boy Slims Rockafella whatever song ''funks own brother'' you'll see the dancers in this clip doing The Ozone dance moves as does a lot of other clones!

Ozone and Turbo were jealous of Special K's rich living and friends...remember in the dance class when Ozone got offended by all the professional dancers looking down at him and he breaks out into street?

Or Turbo going she ain't no street dancer!

If you want a great break dancing movie then watch the original and one and only BEAT STREET!

Comes with spit 'n all!
Beat street beat street beat street! Ya gotta believe in something you gotta believe it's all one you gotta get out and go for yaself but you knew that you always would! It's like a heart beat BS!

I still don't get how holding a concert celebration can bring back the dead in that film.

Here's another "classic" - has anyone mentioned Double Team yet?

You know your struggling when you co-star in an action movie with Dennis Rodman.

LOL and it actually had Mickey Rourke in it. That's quite a career recovery from Mr Rourke.

From Double Team to the Wrestler.
