All right!
Well, second is not bad, I supose... by Bob Loblaw Law Blog	Sep 5th, 2008 03:17:26 AM
I've been waiting to want to see a Jean Claude Van Damme film for a while (I think Street Fighter was the last one I really wanted to see... and I was in junior high school!). I think Blood Sport may have been the first "R" rated film I ever saw. Awesome.

good for jcvd by orange cinema	Sep 5th, 2008 03:29:51 AM
a sense of humor about past mistakes can totally resurect a career in this industry. i keep hearing good things and cope it hits us soon. i really hope he's able to get back into making films, with roles that we'd never expect him to take.

Damn You Michael Bay
Looks good by masteryoda007	Sep 5th, 2008 03:33:48 AM
I seen the trailer for this about 3 months ago and I thought that it looked very promising. I''ll watch this when it comes out, will it reach the giddy heights of "Black Eagle" or No Retreat & No Surrender".....I sure hope so!

Looking forward to this and Campbell's Groovy Movie too. MCMLXXVI...how long you been doing the Damn You Michael Bay thing now? Never gets old..and yeah, that is sarcasm.
JCVD is cool by Toby___Wong	Sep 5th, 2008 03:55:56 AM
I really don't know why people hate him so much. He made some enjoyable movies and some less enjoyable movies. However, the dude has charisma and coolness that a lot of actors don't have. He should be getting better roles because I am sure he can handle it. And it's time to see JCVD as the bad guy once again, but then in a big budget movie. He will steal the show for sure.

Jean Claude needs a better chance on the Big Screen by Monkey_King	Sep 5th, 2008 04:32:49 AM
more so than Seagal, who consistently puts out Direct-To-DVD excrement. Van Damme is actually trying. Luc Besson, please rescue Jean Claude from small screen fare and make him a star again.

This puts Van Damme back in the game. I really would like to see him get some nice roles due to this film. Can't wait to check it out myself.
Shockingly good. by V'Shael	Sep 5th, 2008 05:06:38 AM
But very DVD watchable. I doubt many will pay to see it on the big screen.

Buttercup is a flower,,,PLANT!!!!!!!! by vadakinX	Sep 5th, 2008 06:54:33 AM
These plants are getting so arrogant that they are even using the names of plants when sending in their plant reviews. It's a conspiracy and everyone's in on it :P Seriously though, I might check this out. I haven't seen a Van Damme flick in ages.

Toby___Wong by medicinaluser	Sep 5th, 2008 07:16:03 AM
I actually agree with you am not being sarcastic either. I saw him on a Uk chat show years ago and he was a riot could'nt believe he was making the crap films he was waay back then when he clearly had star quality. His story about Arnie and how when he went upto him to introduce him to some up and coming Director and said "Arnie someday this Director will be HUGE!!" to which Arnie replied "Why not Ze everyday" and then walked off chomping on his Cigar......I dunno fella maybe its the alledged time he spent snorting too much coke that has fucked his career up or the die slow rumours (he has lost weight) which seem to dog him in certain circles. I think that maybe why noone has given him another chance.
Ick... by Skraggo	Sep 5th, 2008 07:21:14 AM
The funniest, yet saddest and most embarrassing, thing I ever saw concerning Van Damme happened years ago on an E! special at Cannes Film Festival. Van Damme was prowling around, drunk or stoned, and Jules Asner was interviewing him. He ended the interview by trying to come on to her and all but gave her his hotel room key. I think he thought the cameras weren't rolling anymore.

Who cares if this is a plant? by Ed Okin	Sep 5th, 2008 08:25:54 AM
The film is apparently very good, based on this, and other reviews I have read, and has no North American distributor. This kind of review could help alleviate that situation so...plant away if need be!

Seagal is too egotistical... by NiceGuyEddie19	Sep 5th, 2008 09:43:52 AM
...to ever make fun of himself like JCVD. Good for Van Damme. As a kid, I liked some of his movies.
First by Sparhawk38	Sep 5th, 2008 09:54:03 AM
Just wanted to see what it felt like... not that great, really. I think we could all stop posting that.
Seagal by Ed Okin	Sep 5th, 2008 09:54:30 AM
Actually has had some fun with his image, particularly in the Pepsi (I think) ads he did a few years ago, and his appearance in "The Onion Movie". Sadly, while JCVD tries to do good work with talented untried directors, Seagal doesn't even bother to show up for his own dubbing sessions. He just doesn't care anymore, it would appear, and would rather be in a club with his "band" then in Roumania making another DTV piece of crap.

AAhhhh... Now that feels pretty good.

Wake of Death by Rolnikov	Sep 5th, 2008 11:36:56 AM
I watched Wake of Death this week and Van Damme was superb in it. It's a really efficient, brutal little movie. I hope Vern's looking to Van Damme for his next book.
Timecop irritates me by The_joker	Sep 5th, 2008 11:44:53 AM
As do most time travel movies. Answer me this talkbackers, when Van Damme eventually saves his wife in the past and changes the future... Why is he shocked to see her and his son alive when he gets home? You can't answer this because it defies logic. I have yet to see a time travel movie that doesn't have serious flaws in continuity. There will never be a good time travel movie! Don't get me started on the Butterfly effect either! I know this post is a bit off topic but I just caught Timecop on AMC last week and this point bugged me once again. Thoughts on this?
JCVD by skimn	Sep 5th, 2008 12:31:51 PM
Thought it was about some strange VHS camcorder
Timecop by fartedinthefaceofhollywood	Sep 5th, 2008 12:49:55 PM
there was a time when i enjoyed watching Van Damme movies, and Timecop was one of them but it hasn't aged very well and from what ive heard...it has enough plot holes to drive a mac-truck through...id have to watch it again to see this for myself, i was young when i caught this in theaters.

Seriously, I was a little kid and that was my first "nude" scene. I constantly tried to watch over and over again. Then I discovered the nude scene in Demolition Man. Then I realized what a horrible genre I was watching.
"There will never be a good time travel movie." by IAmJack'sUserID	Sep 5th, 2008 02:56:07 PM
Wow, someone is either so young they weren't alive when BACK TO THE FUCKING FUTURE came out or they have other problems.
"There will never be a good time travel movie." by ironic_name	Sep 5th, 2008 03:04:36 PM
every movie involves traveling 60 seconds into the future every minute. unless they aren't.
Van Damme 4 life by bottombrick	Sep 5th, 2008 04:32:39 PM
Hopefully he gets some work off this. Him and Ogre and Ghost Dog can get together and run around Hong Kong again, they got my money in the bank.
There are 2 kinds of time travel schemes that work by bottombrick	Sep 5th, 2008 04:43:56 PM
One type where no changes are actually made, the journey back was always contained in the timeline (a la 12 Monkeys) and the other type has branching timelines and the travelers aren't changed by changes they make (because the timeline they originate from is intact). However in the second type if you tried to go home in the changed timeline the alternate you would be there kicking it, so Timecop is not logically consistent. Still kicks ass though. I dig the style of the henchman from the future ('04), wearing shin guards, trenchcoats, and rocking mullet perms.
It's actually a great performance in a good movie by Bellock	Sep 5th, 2008 05:55:51 PM
Let's hope it's a new beginning for Van Damme. He really deserves a new career on par with the talent he shows on this film.
Die Hard in a hockey stadium by skimn	Sep 5th, 2008 06:06:40 PM
Ahhhhh, the late '80s to mid '90s with the wonderful concept movies "the _______ from Hell" and "Die Hard on a ________". Sudden Death has got to be a guilty pleasure because of the killer penguin. Another Hyams/Van Damme combo.
Sounds and looks better than "My name is Bruce" by TheWaqman	Sep 5th, 2008 06:31:35 PM
I'm definitely in.
at the end of timecop... by GavinVanDraven	Sep 5th, 2008 08:21:15 PM
wouldnt the 04 van damme cease to exist? by saving himself and his wife in 1994 he would either a)no longer exist, b) come back to his own timeline which would be unchanged, while and alternate version of him exists in a tangent universe, with his still alive wife, c) he would have memories of both losing and saving his wife and the 2 past versions of the last 10 years (ala frequency) because he is both his past and future self, or d) when he comes back to 04 there would be a doppleganger version of himself with his wife. it fries the brain. this is why time travel doesnt work.

WAKE OF DEATH was a GOOD Movie by warchild74	Sep 6th, 2008 05:48:43 AM
Total agreements on "
JCVD by Atropos	Sep 6th, 2008 06:13:50 AM
Everyone I've spoken to who've seen this movie claims it is the shit. The most common claim was that as when Van Damme gets to speak his native tongue, he's actually an extremely talented, emotionally raw actor. Hard to believe, I know, but so many people have told me this now, that based on their word and that awesome trailer, I will be there for this with a vengeance.

Just saying. I'll try to catch it when the opportunity arrives.
