Bloodsport really is one of the best bad movies ever made.

Double Impact remains one of the best "twins separated at parents death" action movies.

Yes, please. This is an incredible film.
Like, seriously. Smart, heartwarming, funny. Even if you don't like action stars.
SPECIALLY if you don't like action stars.

This thread has my heart <3
Bless you JCVD. You gave me so many found childhood memories.
Really the only reason I'll be giving Expendables 2 a go.

I just went through Universal Soldier 1 & 2. The first one was great, the second one should be avoided like AIDS.

i approve this goddamn message so hard.
JCVD is the man. It is because of him, i was inspired to learn the splits when i was younger, totally impressing all the elementary school twats. I remember doing 300 situps a day to get a little middle school six pack because this man.
This thread made me realize how much he has affected my life.
The song in the OP is now my anthem to running.
He had a reality show recently and he is awesome to animals, and his family is super close, fame has not fucked with him, it would dare to.
i love the muscles from brussles
Pretty sure he was a giant coke head in the nineties.

Bloodsport is pretty damn great in its own way.

Probably the most traditional action film he's done but it's still one of my favorites.
It's also the only reason why I like the Penguins.

Van Damme never made a bad movie.
Loved his late 80s and early 90s films. Rest of the 90s stuff varied from decent to good, getting together with Rob Schneider was really bad tho. 00s was awful decade for him (except for JCVD which is really, really good). I did enjoy In Hell and Until Death to some degree but rest of his action flicks were just terrible, still better then Seagal. I really wonder what kind of awesome movies the man would have done without the drugs.

Truth man. Most underrated action star of all time.
its a great movie.
The funniest part is the way he acts, it seems like he's mad at her for being raped. She reaches out to touch him and he pulls away from her like he's the victim.
I laugh every time.

What the fuck is wrong with his voice? Sounds so unnatural.

My uncle said he saw Van Damme once in Rome sunbathing naked with a sock over his cock. Apparently, it wasnt a big sock.
His best line in SF: The Movie
Have you lost your mind?!
"NO! Have you lost your balls!"

I approve and appreciate this thread. JC will always be one of my favorite action stars. A god like figure to me. In watching all the episodes of behind closed doors on you tube, I appreciate him even more as a person.
I have been following his career from day one, and while he succumbed to drugs many years ago, and it led to his straight to DVD hell for over a decade. I for one can't wait to see him redeem himself in EX2. He already proved himself to me in JCVD, but my hero will once again grace the big screen this summer.
He has overcome his deamons, and I applause him for that. The thing that always interested me in him was how hard he dedicated himself to his craft. He wanted to be more than an action star. He wanted to improve as an actor. See the movie In Hell if you dont believe me.
That is more than I can say for Steven Seagal, who seems content with eating himself to death, and speaking with a strange southern draw that came out of no where and is prevalent in all his latest movies.
JC prides hi self with staying in shape and actually respects the craft more than you guys think.
My hero till the end.

Oh.. I appreciate Jean-Claude Van Damme all right.. Yum. 
And when my Aunt & Uncle would have all nine of their nieces and nephews over for regular sleepovers, while all the girls would be upstairs doing girly things, the boys would be downstairs with video games and action flicks on HBO. JCVD's movies were a staple of my childhood. Cool thread!
