I have a shameful secret

[AAP]

I just watched Van Damme in Wake of Death.

It was awful.

Really awful.

Like, Van Damme standard awful.

But at least he didn't do that little drop down split thingy. I guess all the coke's messed up his motor skills.

 

[Ulcasterdropout]

@ little drop down split thingy.
That is his sig move.

 

[glennds]

always something very unlikeable about that guy.

 

[Phaded]

van damne is my idol in lionheart

 

[BrothaBill]

It couldnt have been as bad as the Day after Tomorrow. I just got done watching that. Stupidest opening scene and I couldnt believe that in the middle of an ice age in NY the kids get attacked by wolves. I mean how did they decide to throw that lil twist into the movie plot. Coulda been good, but ended up being awful.

 

[H_T_]

the whole thing?

 

[BrothaBill]

the whole thing?

No the science was interesting and had potential but I have no idea why the human drama of the scientist getting is son came from. People were deciding to walk south to get away from the cold storm, like leave a building and walk outside before a storm and the dad was like snowshowing like from Wa DC to Ny faster than a person could drive in a snowstorm.
Man I get pissed when something that had good potential gets ruined by totally stupid shite that is totally implausibe. good special effects but that added to how pissed off I was when all of sudden wolves show up in NY to chase after the kids. I was like whhhaaat the f... did that just come from? Wolves, actual wolves?? I wanna bitchslap the director.

 

[Razorguns]

the movie was good until the storm.

after that it turned SOOOO HORRIBLY stupid. I'm talkinb BEYOND stupid. It was like a whole new movie started.

You could've walked out after the storm had done it's damage and not missed a thing.

 

[Meantime1]

There was a time when his career was sooo promising and i did enjoy his movies, he also had a body worth having, but some where down the hill, he lost his way, OH WELL ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST

 

[hamstershaver]

its not a van damme movie without the drop down split thingy

I knew it was going to bad when the opening when he the crevice opened and he risked his life to jump across to get three tubes of icepack. I was like here we go. After that, youre right, for awhile I got suckered in thinking maybe I was wrong this could be good, then after the storm it got worse, then worse, then my god and still cant believe they threw in the wolves. I just cant believe people could make a movie so stupid towards the end.

 

[perkele]

I've never seen ANY van Damme movies. What have I lost?

 

[anthrax]

I've never seen ANY van Damme movies. What have I lost?

A lot

this guy is a genius
He should play in drama, and other Shakespeare based films

OK, j/k

He's basicaly a sub-Arnold/Bruce Lee playing in brain dead action movies

Even though his very first movies were not so bad

 

[BUBBLES]

I have seen Van Damme in person in Paris last year, he is good looking but surprisingly small built and short. The movies always show him muscular and big!

 

[from zero]

Bloodsport ruled.

 

[string_bean00]

Bloodsport ruled.

Yeah, that one was fucking awesome. I liked Kickboxer too (is that one where they dip their hands in glass before the big fight?).



I watched a newer one the other day...'The Order'. Fucking godawful. Apparently Van Damme helped write it.

 

[MrMuscle]

I havent seen that one, but "In hell - the savage" was a step up from some of the last crappy ones he made.

LOL, I saw that one too. Horrible, but a step up, yes.

 

[eat big]

he has another trick called getting dui's

 

[BileStew]

Bloodsport ruled.

He was also good in Bosom Buddies. No, wait...that was Tom Hanks.

 

[BrothaBill]

he has another trick called getting dui's

Hey me too!

 

[AAP]

But he didn't do his signature move(s).

That drop down split thingy where he drops down, his eyes shoot wide open (cause he just ripped his nut sack?) from his "intensity"... his lips tremble and then he does some kind of shit to the villian.

Also, he didn't take his shirt off in this movie. Another first for him.

AND..... he didn't do those stupid little karate kicks where he stands there, looks at the dude (must hyponotize him), leans back... makes some noise and then very slowly sticks his foot out and gives the guy a love tap in the head. Where as the guy shoots back about 4 feet. Van Damme be packing some kind of nuclear charged wrestling boot there I guess. The entire set up and deliver of this move - interchangeable with another dreaded kick... the roundhouse - is flat out stupid. Mainly because the villian is expected to stand there perfectly still twiddling his thumbs for like 6 minutes until it is over.

 

[MrMuscle]

Double Impact must be right up your ally then. Double Van Damme action

on a side note i have to say that i love that movie.

 

[glennds]

seriously whatever happened to this guy? is he still "acting?" there has always been something disturbing and off about this guy. maybe it WAS because of drug use.

 

[RADAR]

Wham! Bam! Van Damme!


Radar

 

[shawnerk]

blood sport, kick boxer, lion heart- cool.... after that.... el suck-o.
