Jean Claude Van Damme

Sudden Death (1995).

I remember it being a pretty good Die Hard knock-off with Powers Boothe being a decent villian.  Not seen it for years but maybe worth a try.

interesting...  have seen the dvd it in my local hmv, might have check it out.

Definitely try Day of Reckoning.  I've not seen any of the other Universal Soldier films but this caught my attention because of some YouTube clips.  Not saying it's perfect but there are some very effective scenes and a weird vibe.

cool, will do... as a non-streaming, non-netflixing (etc etc) movie fan I'm always looking for recommendations of stuff I know I can get cheap-ish on physical

yep another fairly recent watch... wasn't bad! (no film of that ilk can compete with DIE HARD obviously)

yeah STREET FIGHTER was awful. I know it has its fans though.

I do understand the appeal of Street Fighter though. Raul Julia's performance, Rap/Hip Hop Soundtrack and Kylie Minogue for the drool. But all this didn't save it, at least not for me.

What I don't understand is van Damme making a sequel to Kill 'Em All (2017) last year. Why?

That's the film where JCVD fights a penguin 😳🐧🤣😅😂

I'm kind of surprised at that... I recommend you binge watch all his films in a row with no breaks, while taking notes. not really.

oh yeah I also watched his semi-autobiographical JCVD (2008) but couldn't get into it at all... sometimes it was in english, but half the film seemed to be in dutch with no subtitles

Nope. My taste in action movies are more in the war or western genre. Gangster too.
I like Martial arts films, the Asian owns. But Otherwise... nah. Never got into Chuck Norris or Van Damme, or Cynthia Rothrock, or whatever. No interest in them at all. There was ONE Segal movie I liked even a little bit-and I can't even remember the name.

I  TNT love  JACKSON (1974) A  grade z Philipino blaxploitation/kung fu flick!



Otherwise, give me Bruce Lee or a Godfrey Ho flick any day.

yeah I need to see more early 70s ones like that... enjoy the ones I have seen

it's only in the last couple of years that I actually checked out any Chuck Norris movies tbh... (as in ones where he's the main character). very much of a muchness as they say. he has the charisma of a cardboard cut out.  INVASION USA was probably the best of an underwhelming bunch.

never trust a giant penguin, I follow this simple rule.


can't find it now but I saw a real vid the other day of a mascot absolutely pummelling someone  ...probably happens quite a lot, haha

[HappyGilmore]

yeah STREET FIGHTER was awful. I know it has its fans though.

I am one of them.  I thought it was a really fun movie and it had a lot of really great lines in it.

Seconded. Street Fighter had great moments. The Godzilla type fight with Honda.

Plus, Raul Julia was just perfect

Would be interested to hear what you think.

sod's law is alive and well... I have noticed DAY OF RECKONING on dvd in my local HMV every single time I've been in there in the last few months... I go in today and it's gone.    asked the staff too.

my new year's resolution was to stop buying stuff on amazon. not gonna break it for this tbh

however because I basically have no recollection of the original UNIVERSAL SOLDIER from 1992 I picked that up on bluray instead.

If it wasn't for those cringe scenes with his kids it would be a classic. Very underrated movie.

[VenomX73]

I try to watch DOUBLE IMPACT (1991) once a year I really enjoy it
