Van Damme's best film?


Hi,

I'm not really keen on Van Damme's films. They're usually just plain stupid!

I rented out the DVD yesterday and was pleasently surprised that it's not a bad film atall!

Ok so it's a bit cheesy in places and some of the acting is horrendous but it captures a desolate, ruined Earth pretty well in my opinion.

I think it rates as his best film. Anyone agree?

I agree with king2be98, Van Damme has made better films than Cyborg. The legionare, Street fighter and Time cop is one of those films.

"The legionare, Street fighter and Time cop"

You have got to be kidding. Van Damme's best are Bloodsport, Cyborg, Universal Soldier, and Kickboxer. Everything else is utter garbage.

Do you hate Hard Target, too? I thought that was one of the best I've seen of him so far.

well i do like van dam,but some of his movies stink,U-soldier the return is a good example.

However Cyborg is one of his best,kind of like mad max but without the cars,right up there with Bloodsport

reply

In Hell and Wake of Death are by far his best.

have a nice day

I also don't think that Cyborg is his best film, since he only had like 20 lines in the entire film.

See, that's exactly why I think this is Van Damme's best film. Van Damme only having 20 lines? That's a good thing.

I always thought Lionheart was his best overall film. But Cyborg definitely has one of the longest (if not the longest) battle scenes in any of his movies.

reply

ummmm....Hard Target anyone?

reply

Cyborg is my favorite because I feel his fight scenes were the best, more so than any other movie. Let's keep JCVD and his acting on the ground for a minute. He may take his acting seriously, and always strive to be better, but I think he has been one of the best actors ever athletic wise, and he had/has the look Hollywood has exploited.

his last two movies were great! keep them coming

i think sudden death was good too. i enjoyed that, especially when he played ice hockey that bit made me cry with joy. ( yeh ok)

Cyborg was definately not his best.

I like
Bloodsport - anytime Kumite gets rocking on TBS I watch at least 10 minutes
Kickboxer
Lionheart
Universal Soldier
Double impact

One of his worst movies that I really liked (for some strange reason) was No Retreat, No Surrender. One of his first, if not his first. He played the evil Russian martial arts master who cripples the father of a teen ager that gets trained by Bruce Lee's ghost so that he can get his revenge!!!

Otherwise, all of his early movies are good!!

reply

This surely cannot be anywhere near his best film.

Its that man again!!

Universal Soldier 2 was terrible. What were they thinking?

DISPLAY thy breasts, my Julia!

reply

This is a joke right?? I just watched this yesterday and if anything it's one of his worst. I fell asleep it was so boring, and it has little to no action. I enjoy cheap action flicks as much as anybody, but the action is *beep* in this.

Isn't this the film that put Cannon/Golan-Globus out of business?
