10 Reasons Why This Movie Is Awesome

1.) Van Damme

2.) The one-liners, including such gems as "Three strikes, you're out!", "I'm the parking attendant and your bothering my customers", and, of course, "Au revoir, *beep*

3.) Clydie's boobs.

4.) The cinematography.

5.) Ted Levine as Mr. Dunston. This guy did an amazing job.

6.) Little kids making blunt, situationally uncomfortable statements, especially at the dinner table.

7.) The boy asks Sam if he's a bad guy, and Sam lays his gun down on top of a nudie magazine.

8.) Tractor-pull brawl.

9.) Steven Seagal plot, Van Damme execution.

10.) The bike-hop. Legendary.

You must have seen another version. I just saw it on TV and it didn't have half of this. Did they show Clydie's ta ta's in the flesh? I don't recall the tractor pull scene.

Clydie gets way naked. And they didn't show the guys in the tractors tearing up the field? Pity.

Delusion!

Toward the end of the movie there is an FBI(?) agent thumbing through a stack of criminal's records, and he stops on JCVD's sheet with the mug shot showing him as 6 feet 4 inches tall, (76 inches, 72 + 2 bars more)!

He must have been standing on a box. (*smirk*)
IMDB lists him as 5' 7 3/4" (5 feet, 7 and 3/4 inches, or 1.77m)...
(shucks, my armspan is 78 inches fingertip to fingertip).

In their respective primes, your choice of Conan ("the Barbarian", or the larger "the Destroyer", or the Momoa "the Barbarian") would have taken some damage, but likely crushed him like a bug at a *real* 76 inches vs JCVD's not-quite 68 inches... unless he ran away.
