I've always been a fan of Van Damme movies. I watched Kickboxer this afternoon. Not my favorite (Bloodsport), but it's ok. "JCVD" is actually a pretty solid film if you ever get a chance to see it.

Anyone want to weigh in on this cinema icon and his movies? Best? Worst?

Van Damme was my favorite when I was growing up. Bloodsport, Kickboxer, Lionheart, Hard Target, Double Impact...... all classics!

Bloodsport is epic, but Sudden Death is so underrated.
Though, I have a soft sport for Hard Target. I guess it was the mullet.

People think that he's a pussy, but he was a world class kickboxer back in the day. That would have ended badly for your friend.

I remember that one. Back when Rodman was supplementing basketball by showing his totally elite skillz at both pro wrestling and acting. A true golden age of entertainment.

Don't forget The Quest, which was essentially a lesser rip-off of Bloodsport. Some friends and I watched it one night. It brought the lulz. "Hey Jean, you don't rip other peoples' movies off...you rip your own off!"

Always a sucker for Death Warrant. Anytime that's on I'll get pulled into it.

It was my first R rated movie.

Loved VanDamme movies growing up.Bloodsport is by far the best but Death Warrant, Double Impact, Lion Heart and Kickboxer are great movies too...Oh Hard target was great Arnold Vosloo makes a great bad guy.

Checked his IMDB page and noted he was a background breakdancer in the movie "Breakin". I would love to see that!

where is he now ? I knew him a long time ago, he used to be a judge for Hawaiian Tropic bikini contests. Then Ron Rice's wife left him for Jean Claude.

Jean Claude's best movie was No Retreat... No Surrender. He played a Russian Karate Champ and got his butt kicked by a Bruce Lee wanna-be who was taught by the ghost of Bruce Lee (which in no way shape or form resembled Bruce Lee) at a Karate tourney after being forced to put an end to Van Damme's thugish ways. Great Movie... Check it out, I have it on VHS :)

I haven't seen too many mentions of Universal Soldier. I'm a big fan of that one too. Violent as all get out, plus you have Dolph Lundgren.

Evidently, JCVD is the voice of a character in Kung Fu Panda 2. That should be interesting.

Yeah I just remembered Universal Soldier, and Nowhere to Run. This thread really makes me want to find some of these movies right now.
