      JBMaximize What evidence? He always seems really nice and generous with his time in all of the interviews I've seen him in. I remember him on "Hey Hey It's Saturday" years ago and he actually stayed around for the rest of the show after the interview was finished. He told the host "I like you Daryl, you're a nice guy", and when Daryl asked him what his favourite movie was in his career, Van Damme said "oh, they're all pretty bad" (not exactly true, because Bloodsport kicks ass, but I was surprised at his honesty about his career).

      People back then seemed way more in-tune with the present moment compared to nowadays where everything is instantaneous pleasure, attention span keeps decreasing among everyone including kids & young adults, & now we have something everyone is obsessed about these days (our phones) that completely ruins the whole point of watching a movie when you pull it out. Less distractions will always be far superior than constant dopamine hits.

Luckily he had cool weapons and was super super super still pissed he could not hold and stop his famly from falling in the well as he was a weak boy and the barbedwire that tore his hands hurt too much to save them. Ultimately letting them go killing them all. Only because of this traumatic flashback talking to that braless curly redhead big puckered top lip girl did he ultimately show how bad ass he would be in the future apocalyptic scenario.

    I have never seen this one, thanks for posting.
    As a young, graduated teenager, this movie was epic for me. I will never forget coming out of the theater thinking, this guy I just watched is going to be huge, and for a time he was. He had the entire package, and a lot of charisma, wish things had turned out a bit different for him in regard to the self-destructive tendencies and later his bipolar diagnosis.
    He is still one of my top 3 action movie heroes from my teenage years, and I think to this day, Double Impact is one of the best movies form the 90s for me. I really enjoyed JCVD's performance as twin brothers, it is just a feel-good movie for me, maybe that is weird.
    There will never be another Jean-Claud Van Damme, he is still the man!

    Jean Claude Van Damme was one of the few that actually went inside Kowloon city right before they demolished it. Crazy! But lucky to see the history there.

    His voice sounded so different, so much higher O.o

      @itsAniQ Před 5 lety +2

      Thats because he was 27 years old here. Your vocal chords age when u get older, it makes your voice deeper and rough sounding

    @DjOmega1984 Yes, he played Tong Po in Kickboxer (1989). His name is Michel Qissi, a good friend of Van Damme. Michel Qissi also played in Bloodsport, Lionheart and Kickboxer 1 & 2.

    True story I met this kid who would train regularly at our school gym during lunch. He took off his shirt one day and he was bigger than every one of the kids in the room. I asked him how he trained. He said he did calisthenics and Taekwondo. He said he was inspired by Stallone, Van Damne, and Arnold. I will never forget this dude...

    It is not about who is better. They all have strong points and weak points, that's human. I ever have liked Jean-Claude, as a person. he IS fascinating and inspiring and he is a good person.

  • @kenjiwa5895
    @kenjiwa5895 Před 2 lety +4

    Thanks for sharing this!
    A few thoughts :
    1) Jean-Claude is in phenomenal shape, and his karate is spot on in technical terms. Very pure technique, lovely to see.
    2) Nice to see a throwback to another time where we did not take ourselves so seriously but we got on, had fun and got things done.
    3) At 3:37 Is Jean-Claude sparring (lghtly) with none other thanTong Po?! (Mohamed Qissi)
    4) Nearly 34 years after the move came out and I saw it at the cinema, before seeing it again loads of times, sometimes alone sometimes dragging another person (my best mate, also a karateka, my dad, my mum, another mate), and despite my creaking joints, I STILL find this inspiring!
