His most (and only) "Chucky Chan" movie


Knock Off is the most non-JCVD action movie. Van Damme doing great job in Knock Off but the fighting style more fitting to other great martial arts artist - Chucky Chan. By Chucky Chan, I mean a lot of flexibility, speed and above all the main hero gets out of complicated - sometimes comical - situations in an elegant way.

As I said, Van Damme do a great job, maybe because in the screen he look much bigger than Chan (although the height difference aren't big), this not feel natural for him as his other films. Moreover, most of his fans get used to seeing him fight in a completely different style. Van Damme is better (or to be more accurate: feel more authentic) when he fight in face-to-face combat in more brutal way. I believe this is the main reason why the rating so low, although it's really fun action movie.
