Mel!, I aint posting no pictures!....
I like it here, I don't wanna be banned again! :D:D
Stop tempting me! :D
Lock the thread!!!
Used to have a few JCVD films back in the day. I well prefer Bloodsport as his best film though. Great stuff!!!
He's also cool as the Russian dude on No retreat no surrender
He's on breakdance too!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xga-W7-2os :razz:
: evil :

ah jean claude
yeah ive always loved bloodsport and kickboxer
that was his classic period, after that most of the films went abit.....pants
just like seagal
edit:-
universal soldier, cyborg, hard target were ok too
FAT!, she is not fat!:-x
And besides....whats wrong with big women anyway :):)
Gays, Charvas, and ugly wimmin! :p
You can tell its one of his early films because he "loses".
Van Damme.....fail :D
I rented it as a kid in 88, and then me and my dad, rented all movied with vandamme that they had (actually we renterd every crap karate/action with karate movie they had, we where really in to them back then).
last movie I saw with him was the one with roger moore, sort of a 19th century bloodsport...not bad, but you knew he was a going downhill
shame he killed a chance of a street fighter franshise, but I guess it was much of producers and writers falt has is was his...
From IMDB....
"As the original choice to play the role of the alien hunter itself in the movie Predator (1987), he hit a few personal snags. For starters, he was not happy with the fact that his face would not be shown on camera, and that he would be having an uncredited special effects role. He was also not fond of the original monster suit - he frequently passed out due to heat exhaustion. Because he complained so much and was very uncooperative, he was fired from the film. When Stan Winston's Predator design came in, Kevin Peter Hall was chosen to play the title role and filled it perfectly. Supposedly, Van Damme has no regrets on backing out of the Predator project"
:lol:
You have to love the cheesy brilliance of Kickboxer though...Van Damme getting his arse kicked by Tong-Po, Tong-Po even rubbing it in during the middle of the fight by saying he raped Van Damme's girlfriend....all of a sudden, the old guy starts chanting 'Not Sue Cow!' or something (it's meant to mean 'White Warrior' apparently) and suddenly Van Damme becomes invincible, gets back up and gives Tong-Po the twatting of his life! Then gives the thumbs up to his brother (who Tong-Po put in a wheelchair), cue end credits and really bad 80's American 'feelgood' soft rock music.
Possibly one of, if not THE greatest movie endings of all time :D :lol:
Loved his outstanding work in Breakdance, though!!
I just checked out Monaco Forever on imdb, I didn't know he'd played a gay karate character in that comedy as I've never seen it. A reviewer said it was funny, but Van Damme is only in a very small part of the movie.
I agree with this chap, nothing wrong with the more squeezable lady ;)
Powers Boothe makes an excellent bad guy, which is vital for movies of this type (think Die Hard, Under Siege etc all had memorable bad guys)
yeah that poor, rich bastard. :-D
That's cos' they're shite :lol:
I must admit though I thought Cyborg was quality when it came out, perfect mix of sci-fi and cheesy karate action :D
Of course I think I was 11 years old at the time, could be the reason why I thought it was cool.
I'll bet it's crap now though :rolleyes:
its shocking now.
i remember timecop being quite good when it came out, apart from that im with boozy, i dont like the films. nowt against him, although i think he treats his kids like shit.
In Hell
Derailed
Knock Off
Other than those, Van Damme's career is dead to me.
Anyone else would have been dead long time ago after taking so much beating.
