  • Has Jean-Claude Van Damme made a film worth watching?

    I’m flicking through my tv listings, and it seems there is a JCVD movie every night, and it ocurred to me, I’ve never seen one! not the whole way through, i’ve seen bits of Universal soldier or some kickboxing crap and something else and flicked over. I mean, I like a fun, dumb explosive action movie like commando or that steven segal movie where he is an ass kicking chef where Erika Eleniak pops out of a cake. But JCVD films seem to lack that self-knowing humour and wit and are just rubbish no?

    I could ask my sisters ex-boyfriend for a top ten, but I don’t trust his judgement.

    Didn’t he make one with Kylie Minogue once?

    Lucky chap having a pretty lady like that on set.

    Streetfighter because Kylie is in it.

    Timecop’s OK. Not as good as Under Siege though.

    But Under Siege is good despite Seagal being in it.

    shi7! you’ve got me already!. I saw streetfighter in the cinema ages ago. So I HAVE watched a JCVD movie the whole way through. I was playing streetfighter2 a lot on the snes with my flatmates and we had to check it out, totally and utterly forgot about that! The bastard sneaked in there!

    Kickboxer
    Universal Soldier

    Are all worth a watch.

    Universal Soldier is probably the best.

    You could watch Double Impact, halfway through. That would be equivalent

    JCVD is close to being a really awesome movie, but is still a very good one.

    I seriously doubt it Stuey01. BTW, are you my sisters ex-boyfriend?

    anyone making a case for The Damme, back it up!

    JCVD is actually pretty good, in a kind of postmodern way. His others were all bollox except for Timecop which is actually a good film.

    Part of the comedy of JCVD is the lack of self knowing humour.

    I’m not even going to start my reply with ‘in my opinion’, because all his films have been total and utter arse brisket. The man’s a spu*k stain on the duvet of life. Oh, and I’m not using a smiley face thing neither.

    Hahaha. Fair point. But he’s got a cracking arse and he can do flying round house kicks and everything.

    TBH his films were good when I was a stoned teenager and led me to watch some badly subtitled kung fu classics. However, I’d never be able to sit through one these days… even if you strapped me to a chair and stapled my eye lids open.

    I agree with you about the arese yeti, but as I said, he’s very short. And bad tempered.
    Damn your rapid editing yeti!

    What was the one where he fought in loads of competitions to avenge his brother? That was so crap it was good. He had a chap with him who spoke proper jive, awesome. I couldn’t understand a word he said which made him cool.

    Plus he was in friends.

    Eric Bana as Chopper now. That’s acting. Chopper would eat van dammes brains for pudding and afters.

    He is the ultimate action hero:-

    He has Arnies one liners
    Jackie Chans charm
    Steven Segals alure
    and Stallones command of English

    Hmmm, now I’ve seen that written down – he’s a bit of a runt…..

    Kickboxer is my favourite. This is genius, for all action hero fans:

    Agree with Stuey01’s list, plus Hard Target. All silly enjoyable action films. And JCVD is actually quite a good film.

    You don’t get any decent action stars now – JCVD, Seagal, Chuck Norris, Arnie…

    Who are the modern equivalents? Jason Statham and Vin Diesel 😆
