any1 else a fan of van damme??

[tsmooth31]

hes one of my fav actors and bloodsport just may be the best movie ever made..the guy doesnt get enough credit tho..early on in his career he didnt do much acting mostly just fighting..but lately hes done some drama type movies where is acting was top notch

[Evil Dave]

I'm a fan. But not for the right reasons. I only watch his movies to get a good laugh.

[tsmooth31]

^^alot are bad due to being poorly written and directed and on a low budget..theres no way you can hate on bloodsport tho

[Evil Dave]

I will admit to liking Bloodsport. But as I get older, it's more because of nostalgia more than anything else.

[tsmooth31]

its one of the better martial arts movies ever made..hard target is good in a fun cheesy way..but all of his newer movies are actually good..he stopped fighting and started acting

[Evil Dave]

I don't know man, any Bruce Lee movie I've seen makes Van Damme movies look kinda weak.

[tsmooth31]

yea bruce lee has some good ones..but i still say nothing can touch bloodsport..the thing about van dammes other martial arts movies is they seemed to be like low budget knock offs of bloodsport and they just never worked real good..but i am of fan of him so i did like then somewhat just cuz it was van damme whooping some ass

I vaguely remember Kickboxer. And I liked Lionheart. Yeah, you could call me a fan. He's certainly more interesting and sympathetic onscreen than Steven Seagal.

[Evil Dave]

Steven Segal has to be one of the top ten of most ridiculous movie "stars" in the history of film, ever. I can't even look at a still image of that clown without laughing until I cry.

As far as Van Damme goes............If you've seen one of his movies you've pretty much seen 'em all. Same book different chapters for the most part.

[lazario]

I would think you could say the same thing about any action star.

[tsmooth31]

seagal yea his movies are so bad but entertaining..and dave about van damme your statement was true with his older movies..but most of his new movies are alot diff..like wake of death for instance

[lazario]

Actually... I agree. Well, in the case of Hard to Kill. I thought that was a good movie. But the acting sucked. Just the action sequences were good. Lots of breaking bones. Way more gratuitous than anything in a horror movie.

[tsmooth31]

yea alot of seagal movies are brutal and fun to watch..i dont care if hes not a good actor..they atleast entertain me

[lazario]

That reminds me... I should re-watch Under Siege. I have the VHS.

[lowkey]

I actually thought Glimmer Man had potential, but somewhere(i.e. Seagal's tendency to ham things up) things went wrong.

Exactly. I totally agree, which is why I've never been real big on action movies. About the only one I watch with any regularity is The Transporter.

[lazario]

I love Eraser with Arnold Schwarzenegger. I think that's my favorite. And Die Hard 2. Did the first one take place on Christmas? Never bothered to watch it. I also like anything to do with planes (except Air Force One- that just sucked!), like Passenger 57.

I recently picked up Black Eagle,after not seeing it in like 10 years,...and sold it the next week!what was i thinking??Bloodsport is # 2 with Cyborg being #1.Creepy movie with good fight scenes.

[tsmooth31]

^^ black eagle was like his first movie i think...and yea it was pretty bad

you should check out hard target if you havent seen it...fun movie to watch

[malbowski13]

Ohh you mean "Hard Mullet'?! lol
